Customer Reviews Teva Original Universal

I used to wear these 20 something years ago and now they're back in style with my 14 year old. Glad they've changed the sole from just a flat surface to more of a molded foot bed. These are comfortable, lightweight, and affordable for a water/outdoor shoe.

Comfortably padded, and works well for when you need to get dogs out of the river.

I love these shoes! I've worn them about everyday since I got them. The only reason why I gave it four stars instead of five is if your feet sweat on a hot day (like any one would), the shoes tend to start squeaking (like rubbing rubber). Also, they can collect dirt and it can rub off on your feet, so make sure you at least wipe them down every once in a while

These take a little time (maybe a week) to break in around the little toe, but once you do theyre pretty comfortable besides a little shifting. Not great for a difficult/uphill hike, but theyre nice for walking all day or everyday wear.

These are great for just wearing around during the day but they don't hold up as well as normal Tevas do during adventures. Took them into a river and they basically acted like flip flops where the front was folding underneath my foot as I walked. They also don't have as solid of a bottom as my other Tevas so you can feel more rocks when you're hiking. Overall I really like them they're just not a replacement for my more expensive Tevas.

love everything about my Teva's except that they are a bit slippery against your foot when they get wet.

I use it for outdoor activities

I've always loved Tevas, I bought the chalk white basics and they're awesome; but the plastic toe strap piece rubbed me the wrong way (pun intended). Still love them and recommend them (for short distance endeavors).

My feet swell so sandals have always been an iffy buy. These are great and what's more they are comfortable.

I bought these sandals thinking they would compare to my chaco's that I adore everything about aside from the weight. My intention was buying a sandal that would be lighter and have a similar feel (solid platform, straps that allow my feet to be free yet keep them on the shoe, capable of doing up to class 3 scrambles/hikes/approaches) but I'm now thinking I purchased the wrong model for what I need. The shoes themselves are fine. Solid construction, nice color and RIDICULOUSLY light. Like really, I hardly feel these things on my feet! So that is definitely my favorite part. However, I would essentially call these flip-flops with slightly better straps. So far, riding my bike, walking around town, and through my local park are just about as much adventure as I'd feel comfortable doing with these strapped on. Definitely no more than class 1 approaches. Slippery, don't keep your feet on the shoe solidly especially once you get sweaty, and the platform itself is so thin you can feel rocks and goatheads and thorns through them. Straight to the soul! -- ahem, I mean sole. If you're going to be headed for an easily accessible river, a straight-off-the-road crag, or simply want to walk around town without flossing your big toes with wretched flip-flops, these would be great! I'd be down to try the models that look a little more heavy duty, but for now, I'm going to cinch up my chaco's and head for the crag.

However they were comfortable but they turn my feet blue from the dye

I'm a size 10 foot. No doubt about it. I often clip the front of the sandal on the ground; and pull the Velcro beyond the sandals to sandals to make them fit. I would order down a size!

I can wear it almost everywhere. But will use it at beach most.

haven't had a pair for about 10 years, happy to find out quality still here, very comfortable :)

I love the way they look and feel. My only concern is the size... I'm typically and 8 1/2, the 9 seems ok. I think the 8 would be too small, but I wanted to compare the 2 to see which size is more comfy. Haven't been able to find one to compare for size. Wish you guys had half sizes! Do people typically round up for fit?

These are super comfortable. I've worn them hiking and just walking around campus, and I love them. I did get blisters for the first couple of wears, but take care of your feet and they'll callus up nicely!

They run a little short. You might have to order the next size.

Great pattern. I wish the top strap was a bit closer to the toes. Super comfortable even though. Will but again.

I've tried other shoes for paddling and water sports, but the Tevas somehow seem to fit my narrow feet better. The others just won't tighten in the correct places to feel firm on my feet once wet. I do think the pair I purchased many years ago were of a slightly better quality, particularly the tread. I hope that's not my imagination and that these last just as long as my last pair!

So I've worn my sandals twice now and both times were to go out and run some errands. They did great both times! I love the fact that they're stylish enough to wear out and about, yet practical enough to wear while gardening or working out in the yard. My little toe rubbed on the strap a little bit the first time I wore them. The second time around, I didn't have any problems at all. Overall, I will definitely be buying more Teva's!

I have only worn these shoes once and that was at a Music Festival. I noticed that they kept my feet/legs less tired during the 10+ miles I walked that day compared to my vans. The only let down is that I did get a blister almost right away on my right toe from rubbing. Tried to cover it with bandaids but how the shoe moves with your foot, it kept coming off. I do hope this goes away once I wear them more.

I wear the product weekly, very comfortable
