Customer Reviews Teva Original Universal

I bought these for a trip to the Alps, and did some mild hiking. Additionally, swam in some rocky freshwater lakes. Impressed with the durability of the simple design, and they were comfortable walking over rocky areas with good grip. However, beware that they squeak when you walk in them wet. Ordered size 8 when I am normally a 7.5. Would recommend for mild outdoor activity.

Overall, this is a great shoe. I walk a lot and I need good support without wearing closed toe shoes. However, my feet do not stay dry on the soles. As a result, my shoes squeak as I walk in them throughout the day. It's embarrassing. Perhaps the base of the shoe shouldn't be so rubbery.

Used for days of lots of walking, going to the river, camping, and outdoor activities. Only two cons I can say, since my feet are wide, the shoe width is a little narrow for me and second there was some times when the area (the top corner where It forms that triangle shape) would bother me on days when I walked a lot like hiking.

I love these sandals. I wore them to a park and the ground was bumpy (roots and small rocks). I noticed that my left foot which I had a bunion surgery on four years ago did not receive the support needed from the sandals. I think the foot will always be a bit tender, however, for the cost of these sandals, I was expecting the sole/ base to be a bit more rigid, not giving so easily to the bumps I was stepping on.

Good all around shoe for kicking around.

Planning on buying a few more

Good for casual riverside, bad for floats, moving in gravel in water.

I use this product for when I go on vacation. It's simple, lightweight and durable.

I purchased these sandals for my grandson and he loves them.

I use these for walking around town as well as the neighborhood.

I love the look of this sandal, and they're great for general walk-abouts in town or around a campsite, but I wore them kayaking, and there was too much play side to side when they were wet - most noticeably when carrying my kayak along a rocky shore - probably not the best test for this particular sandal. Otherwise, I'm a fan!

My feet are a little wide, and I haven't quite figured out the best adjustments on the front strap. That said, these sandals are lightweight, feel very durable, and are my new go-to warm weather casual shoes.

Sold my chacos and got these instead. I hurt my foot in my chacos and they never felt comfortable after that- it helped me realize that I was never that big of a fan. Happy to have the Tevas- they are simpler and have less form, therefore more form for your foot to establish naturally. I love them so far, am I little concerned they won't last as long as chacos but they're great and stylish and my foot injury is happy .

I use it for walking after a long periods of time of walking in another shoe.

The only concern I have is slight tightness on the side. Because the shoes are fairly new, hopefully once I break them in that will no longer be a concern.

Great shoes, and very cute! Do not mistake Teva with Chaco brand. These shoes are not made for hiking, camping, or any other rough outdoor adventuring. The bottom of these shoes is not hard like chacos, they are squishy. This is not a con though, it makes them more comfortable. A great shoe to wear around town or to the grocery store, just not fishing or mudding. Overall, I am very pleased with mine and wear them regularly. A great summertime shoe.

I love these, they are comfortable and THEY FLOAT!! I was hesitant to buy them due to the price(mom guilt) and when I was being pulled on the back of a boat on a float out on the lake the shoes flew off. I instantly regretted not removing them beforehand but to my surprise they were floating and I was able to grab them and continue enjoying my trip. If these had an adjustable strap on the back they would be perfect!

These shoes are very comfortable however the white straps have turned yellow within two weeks

The color scheme is eye catching and they required no break-in time.

The shoe is great for style and is mostly comfortable. I don't have an arch in my feet but for those who do, this is not for you. You can tell they will wear out fast unfortunately.

I bought these shoes for a bikepacking trip through South America. I have had the shoes for a year now, and have worn them multiple days a week, every week for the last year. They were immediately comfortable and had a broken-in feeling coming straight out of the box, which I loved. They were durable and lasted the entire year, and likely would last much longer. The only problem with these shoes is they smell like rotten carcasses. I have never had a pair of shoes smell so bad in my whole life. I assume it's from the bacteria that lives in the fabric of the sandal, but oh my god is it bad, and I've tried multiple cleaners to try to lift the smell, but it just won't go away. I can't wear them at all in public anymore, sadly... And now I have this hilarious tan on my feet. Still worth the comfort and durability for nine months of intense physical activity, variety of climates and off the bike adventures. Chances are, you'll probably have to toss them out long before they ever wear out.

These are my first pair of Teva's and they're SO comfortable. The white pair get dirty really really really fast like by the 3rd wear they started lookin kinda gross but it's mostly on the inside not so much on the outside. I don't mind it though as I own a lot of white shoes and clean them all the time. I'm usually an 8.5 in shoes and the 8.5 in these fit but I felt like my toes looked like they were too far forward.

Everything's great except the straps are really long for my tiny ankles. Other than that, they're fun and comfortable to wear!

It fits just a bit too snugly even though I bought a size that's 1/2 a size larger than my shoes. While it is a good show, it's immediately obvious that these aren't the same shoes they made 10,15 years ago. I had a pair that lasted about 14 years before they finally broke down. These just don't feel as sturdy, heavy, dense as those. But, we'll see!
