Customer Reviews Teva Original Universal

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 love the look, but my feet don't like them Returning Sorry

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.

Don't hate them, don't love them

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.

Footbed isn't very comfortable. Not as good of quality I was expecting

I am happy with the appearance, fit, and comfort of the soles of these sandals, but the plastic triangle piece hits a spot on my foot that hurts at times when walking. It's not constant, so I'm going to keep them. I've adjusted the straps, but regardless of position it still does this occasionally. I have a pair of Hurricane XLT's in the same size that I love and they have this same construction with this piece also, but they don't hurt at all. On a side note, I typically wear a 7.5 - 8 in most shoes, but a 7 in Teva sandals fit me perfectly.

Not the amazing shoe I expected. They feel flimsy and both my pair (size 9 & my friends size 7) and very different tighter fit on the right shoe

It's my first purchase. The shoes feel flimsy and don't fit the same right foot to left foot on both my pair and my friends I bought on sale as a gift.

super comfy and holds my feet really well! The soles were soft, which I liked, and I didn't stub my toes. I wore it daily for a week for outdoor summer work (like I do my chacos) and they are now soo smelly! I will wash them and try to combat the smell but I was hoping for a comfy everyday outdoor work shoe and it's not quite the right level of zero-maintenance.

As much as I wanted to love this pair of shoes, my foot always slides to the back of the shoe after walking a few steps. I've tried adjusting the straps tighter, but my foot still moves. The quality is good as well as the print.

I bought this pair of sandals for the purpose of hiking in the tropics, and mistakenly did not test them out before the trip. Unfortunately, the are really tight across the front strap and squeezed my little toes, causing blisters and swelling after only 2 hours of hiking in them. It was incredibly uncomfortable and I never wore them again. Can't even return them because they are now dirty.

Fine as a camp shoe. Cannot walk very safely or comfortably outdoors. Nowhere for foot sweat to go so they can get smelly quickly which is very annoying. Also, the straps don't keep my foot in place very well so my feet slide really far back and sometimes my heel is completely off the sole of the sandal. Would not purchase this shoe again.

Soooooo.......I have been wearing the original Tevas for literally 30 years. I love the brand / functionality. These were supposed to be originals, but they don't fit like before. The foot size is fine......but the straps in the past were not crazy long, so I could really make them tight (I have super skinny feet) - I cannot make these tight without several inches of the straps sticking out / getting caught underneath. The print is so cute.........and I need these to be functional. I need to find out if I can cut the straps and maybe burn them to keep them from unraveling so I can make them fit. I will check with Customer Service.

First time to buy Teva for upcoming vacation and I bought four for each of us, and i tried it first going to the mall. I noticed that the fifth toe rubs to the side strap connector and causes discomfort. I wear size 8 but i bought sz 7 because the size 8 has about 1 inch spaces above the toes.
