Customer Reviews Teva Original Universal

I love the way they look, the way they fit, and the cushy material used for the sole. The problems I have with these Teva's specifically, is that these get wet and smell really really awful. I've never had smelly feet or shoes, but these, I can smell them while standing in them. Also, the texture on the sole is nice at first, grippy, but after a couple hours of my feet are dry, they begin to rub and almost hurt. For context, I have owned a different pair of Tevas for about 4 years and I love them. And I work at a kayak rental shop and wear sandals on the job

As above

So I love my Teva's so much. That being said. I'm super disappointed because the sole is detaching from the shoe in multiple places. I've had to super glue it back so I can continue to wear them.

They are too big, disappointed

They are cute and will be good around wet environments but are stiff and not very comfortable.

The sandal requires some breaking in. It is obviously the bottom of Teva's line. That being the case, it is way overpriced.

Footbed is not as soft as previous sandals

Not nearly enough arch support

sole is too stiff, I felt very uncomfortable wearing them like everyone was looking at me

I have had the same tevas for years now and I finally had to upgrade as my old ones were falling apart. I wanted to love these. I was so excited, they are so cute. However, my heel falls off the back of these sandals no matter how I adjust the other straps. I thought it might be a size issue so I sized up and it's still a problem. There is too much space at the end of my toes while my heel hangs off. I hope teva adds more length to the back of the sandal or allows for an adjustable strap in this style.

I do like these sandals in general, but ultimately they are a different color than pictured online! The online picture they are almost black, in person they're a bright blue. I still like them and they fit well, but I am really disappointed that I won't be able to wear them with all the outfits I planned! I wouldn't have picked blue shoes for myself.

I remember these being so much more comfortable than what they are. My feet are a hot mess after wearing these for six hours. Hoping I can get them to break in a bit. Ouch!

This particular pair was not as comfortable as I remember my Tevas of old were.

These are being returned due to being too smal.

They don't quite fit my feet how I thought they would. The strap at my heel is too loose and my heel falls off the back. They're super cute tho.

They can be uncomfortable after you have worn them for a couple hours.

Love the look, and the soles. Would be 5 stars but the little plastic piece rubs my pinky toe.

LOve the old-school style but I am still waiting for my free Lantern???

I like teva products but did not see the sandals I got years ago that fit. On these the straps were too short so couldn't close. Some older women have different size feet as we age and I would still like to get teva as they are long wearing. Could you make a size for older feet that can secure with longer straps? Some of us have some swelling too so would still like sandals that fit. I still used the ones I got..,.for a gift.

This is a replacement pair for my first pair. The first pair only lasted 3 weeks before the two pieces of the sole started to separate. It was generous how Teva took the return and gave me credit for replacement. Here is to hoping the second pair last much longer.

I like the concept but the bed of the shoe is uncomfortable for my feet. It's sharp on older feet which doesn't have tough skin anymore. I realize the design is to keep your feet from slipping out of the shoe. Other than that they are light weight which I love and look good on my feet.

Honestly the Teva universal is pretty low quality. After a few weeks they're starting to come apart...Theyre still comfy but I wish I'd just spent the extra to get Teva Hurricanes, I had a pair of those and they've lasted years (I think going on 5 now). The Universals are cute enough but if you're trying to find something for every day wear, definitely upgrade to the hurricanes.

Shoes arrived today. I order a 9, i wear an 8.5. The shoe fits perfectly, but the quality is not the same from when I was a kid. Where the shoes are sown together it is already having movement in the seam. I'd be surprised if these shoes last a year.

I do appreciate this project and my mission to acquire more rainbow products but a part of me does not like the sandal. I do not like the material they used for the sole of the sandal. I know it's made from recyclable material but I was expecting a more firmer sandal to be standing on.
