Customer Reviews Teva Original Universal

I bought these to replace my 20 year old pair that finally let go in the sole. I know-20 years is amazing for seasonal footwear! These new Tevas feel familiar and pretty comfortable. They are super adjustable and easy to put on. However, I would love to change out the foot pad from a raised surface to the smooth surface that I'm used to.

I use them for everyday wear in the summer. I love the fit; I love the freedom and the feeling of comfort. I'm sorry that the adjustable heel straps went away, though.... :(

In the store, I was torn between two sizes, and went with the larger, thinking it would be less likely to be too restrictive. I should have gone with the smaller size, because what I have is too long, and I'm worried I'll trip. One drawback to this design, that the imitators do better, is that there's no padding on the triangular plastic pieces. It does rub a bit.

My foot is a bit wide and I went ahead and ordered this shoe. It's not snug, but since I have neuropathy in my feet, it isn't as comfy as it could be if it was just a bit wider. It has stretched just enough to be very comfy after a couple of weeks of almost daily wear with socks. Yaay!

The colors are beautiful and they function well for outdoor activities that include getting wet. However the current "cheese grater" footbed is not nearly as comfortable as the old smoother formed footbed. It cushions well but doesn't offer the same support and is very rough on the bottom of your feet.

There is nothing wrong with this sandal but the sole is lighter weight than I expected. I don't feed it will last more than one season. The strapping is nice.

feel a bit flimsy but that all relative

I feel more comfortable if it makes a little thicker rubber

This shoe is more for light walking rather than true hiking. Its comfortable and very light but it may be a bit too light for uneven terrain. Bring back more color choices!!! I need some yellow options!!

Sole seems thin. Still wearable, but just not as comfortable as many Teva sandals.

I wear them especially when I know my feet willget wet or muddy since they are so easy to just rinse off under the hose. I wish the foot bed were a little squishier, and the hook and loop fastener not so strong because my arthritic hands have a hard time pullng it apart. They also come in great volors!

Love the colors and patterns - always so nice and fresh! Even, in this case, the heavily discounted ones! Take a chance, folks - even better than the pictures! My last pair of favorite TEVAs sandals (aside Mush flip flops), are the really old Mush Universals from SEVERAL years ago. The straps, in spite of daily (except for winter), have held up - although stretched out. Still mourning their discontinuation. The MUSH bed is flattening. However, the new Universals are superior in that they are closer to a true size 8 (previous were smaller - or the back straps are better aligned from the back to the ankle. BUT, as many others complain, the sole is rough on bare feet! Can we just bring back the MUSH Universal?! With the advent of the better sizing, of course

I purchased these sandals because I needed a pair that I didn't have to worry about getting them wet while I was boating or fishing near water .

Comfortable good fit

I bought 2 pairs and they are easy summer shoes. They shed water well, but are a little tricky to wear as swimming shoes. They don't glide through the water well, and are more like wearing a paddle. The strap also pulls a lot as you try to walk through water and left sores on my toes. The design is best for summer activities and very comfortable for lengthy walks. I like the colors and patterns. So far, the material is holding up to frequent use, as well.

Comfortable to hike in on not very rugged terrain. Comfy with good cushioning, but would not be good on steep or rocky terrain as soul is soft all the way through and bottoms too slippery in Sandy or silty inclines. Very comfortable otherwise and easy to adjust.

Very cute shoes. I love them. I do wish that They came in a wide.

They fit well and I like the style. When I ordered the sandals I thought that the soles were more sturdy. They are bendable and similar to flip flops. If I wear them regularly, I feel they won't last very long. They may last one season.

I usually wear a size 10.5 in in shoes. So I ordered size 10. I wore them for a day light hiking and they felt too big ( probably had about 3/4 to 1" of space from my toes to the end of the sole ). So I bought a size 9 and they fit perfect. I wish I could get them with the mush sole.

I love how comfortable these sandals are, I used them a lot, and they are great. The adjustable straps are excellent for wider feet like mine, and they are easy to clean too. The only problem is that they can be slippery on certain surfaces, which is not great considering that they are supposed to be hiking sandals.

I bought a generic brand a few years ago and I loved them so much I recently bought myself (and one of my sons!) a pair of Tevas. They're comfortable and I love them for summer since they can be worn in the water. There is something with the right shoe that makes a clicking sound (like there's a rock or something stuck in the bottom of the sole) when I walk and for the life of me I can't figure out why it's making that noise! It doesn't keep me from wearing them but the sound does bother me sometime Love them though!!

I had blisters from these shoes. I don't know what is different about these shoes.

Cute shoes. Comfy. Perfect for camping

Hi and so you all know I have really bad feet, mostly on the top of them, these shoes are pretty comfy for about 4 hours or so. They kinda hurt on the side of my foot for some reason. I still think most people would find these shoes very comfortable. I am just a hard sale and still give them 4 stars

Very comfortable! I've worn them so many times since in the last few weeks. No "break-in" time that you have to plan for with other sporty sandals. I haven't experienced any rubbing on the straps, so happy there. I am curious to see how they hold up over the next several months.
