The shoes were much lower quality than I expected based on prior year's purchases in a store. They will suffice for around the house but not for any long walking.

Used this for the rocky beaches. It's nice to be adjustable and going between water and land, but it feels like I'd get blisters if I wore too long or far, especially on my pinky toe on the outside of the foot. I have wide feet, so while the foot bed seems ok, I wonder if the odd pressure is due to my foot shape.

The front strap seems to edge into my skin, which is painful. I had to stop wearing these sandals after a few days for that reason. Otherwise, they fit well and had good traction.

I like them but they aren't as comfortable as my other ones. For some reason the right shoe flips in the front from time to time.

I bought this pair to replace another Teva sandal I had had for many many years until the sole began to fall Apart. Unfortunately, the cross strap on my left footy gave me a blister and regardless of whether I tightened or loosened it, it didn't seem to help. Also, after Wearing them in the water, The sandals seemed to retain the water and take forever to dry

I like these sandals I bought the 1st original back in 1989. Lasted 25 years. These aren’t the same so they’re really not original. The think I dislike the most is the lack of heel strap adjustment. It’s a fixed strap and shouldn’t be. Another thing that makes it not close to the original. Normally wear a size 11. The 10 was plenty long.

I loved the style and colors, however, the material was very stiff and uncomfortable. I also have a bunion on my right foot and the strap was painful. I will be returning them.

The original universal sandal is not my favorite but I really wanted a solid red and it was the only way I could get it. The red color is a little disappointing due to pinkish hue. I wanted the cherry red I saw on the website. My favorite shoe is the all day hiking sandal that I wish came in more solid colors.

Kinda regret buying these specific ones now looking at some of the other ones that seem more sturdy if I spent 20 more bucks on another pair might not feel the same but they are okay and comfy so hopefully they last kinda seems like rubber flip flops with straps

Every time I put these sandals on, or take them off, I have the same big problem. The TEVA tag is right next to the Velcro strap tab to open the strap. I don't want to bend my foot all the way up to my eyes to find the strap tab. I don't want to lower my head to my feet to do that either. I want to grab that strap tab easily to open it without looking down at it. As-is I'm constantly grabbing that TEVA tag and pulling on it to no avail. Come on people! NEVER put a tab and a tag in the same place! Never never never!!!!! There are lots of other places to put that TEVA tag where it doesn't interfere with anything. Just Do It!

When the shoes arrived, I had expectations of receiving the "old" Tevas. These did not appear to have the same quality. I'm keeping them in hopes that they will wear like the previous pair I owned.

The shoes are fine (after a couple weeks anyway), but the email bombardment from the company is overbearing. If I could go back, I'd buy these anonymously from a retailer even if they cost more that way.

I have a pair of 30-year old Teva river sandals, worn A LOT and the sole is separating but could probably be re-glued. I thought it would be nice to freshen up my Teva selection and order another. But I was surprised by the weight of this sandal--almost like a flip flop, it was so light. And the surface covered in tiny uncomfortable texturing. I sent them back.

Lacks arch support compared to all of the other TEVA sandals I have purchased. Also were loose on my feet and was not able to adjust them as I would like

Bought these for my husband. Arrived really fast! But they are very thin. Too thin for my taste.

I seem to remember the heel strap being more "stretchy" and you were able to slip on these sandles more easily once you adjusted the front and top strap.

I usually buy a size 14 for all my Teva footwear, but these seem to be smaller than my previous size 14 purchased.

These are beautiful shoes. The foot bed is soft. The plastic fasteners for the straps are hard, and irritating. They hit the base of my toes and create a lot of friction. I'm keeping them but will not wear them for extended periods.

I love the colours, I love the fit but the sole is too smooth. If you are on dry grass they are lethal. Super smooth stones are bad news also, polished surfaces bad also.

These sandals look nice and are adequate, but not for out in the woods. Not very supportive and over-priced for what they are.

Every time I wear them I have to put bandaids on the inside of my feet where the toe strap sots because it rubs so bad I get blisters. And then old blisters that are almost entirely healed then re-open

I used my prior Teva's for everything from hiking, beach and casual. They were tough and handled any situation. The "new" Teva's sole is not nearly as substantial as my old ones. The old ones had tough double soles with great tread and traction. The NEW Teva's have rubber foam soles and are not nearly as tough.
