Customer Reviews Teva Original Universal

Did not care for the footbed of this sandal. I am used to the more supportive Tevas, this one seems flat and the nubbiness of the material was uncomfortable to me. I bought these because of the design on the material, which was really attractive, but the comfort of the shoe was not there for me

The Hurricane was my go-to shoe for many years. It was nothing short of perfect and was worn year-round with or without socks. Over the years, the shoe has become wider with less padding and narrower straps which creates an unstable, unsafe fit for someone with narrow feet. I have had four pairs with heavy, comfortable wear. Last year I tried a size 9 because a previous 10 was a little too big lengthwise. It caused blisters and was not wearable. Ever hopeful, I tried another size 10 this year and there did not seem to be any rubbing but the straps did not securely hold my feet. I returned them. My daughter still has an old style Hurricane and I envy the fit, the straps, and the narrower width of the footbed. Outdoor sandals in narrow are difficult to find. I will continue to hope for Teva to return to their old Hurricane style.

They shoe looks great and I was excited to start doing outdoor activities. I first wore them to an amusement park all day and the shoe ended up rubbing the back of one of my heels and gave me a blister! The blister was pretty bad that I couldn't wear any shoes for a few days. I know I'm going to wear them again and I still like them, but that first time just kinda sucked after a few hours.

Uncomfortable because the inner sole is rough, and after awhile feels sort of like sand paper. I wish I personally had spent more because I really am satisfied with the W Hurricane that I bought at the same time.

Straps seem a bit short and then the velcro shows. Sole is rough on bottom of foot. I am afraid they will chafe. Will see, haven't worn them much

Still prefer my old tevas. Website was a bit confusing.

Wore these to a music festival. Worked great at first. No problems getting them wet or dirty and walking around. Cleans and dries easily enough. Stays on foot well. By the 3rd day of spending hours on my feet, my ankles had swollen up big and I could barely walk. No arch support at all. This has never happened to me before (I'm only 24) and it went back to normal after a night's rest and I switched to sneakers. I didn't wear them the last day and I will be much choosier about when I wear them.

Im using my teva's to easily slip on and off as i am living in the arab world and walking on carpets is not acceptable here with shoes! I am also traveling often and intend to use them for light hiking and catching buses and trains. haha. I love the style of the inca design as well as the adjustable straps up top and around the ankle. However, the clip on the upper adjustable strap can sometimes irritate me because i am forced to wear them tighter than intended. I find that i am a size ten in foot size/length, but the velcro straps are not long enough to give me the comfort i need for my foot-especially on the upper strap close to my toes. That strap needs to be longer. I can barely connect the velcro and then i am hardly seeing any of the beautiful inca pattern because the strap is too short. Other than that, they are working great! Perhaps some modification on the foam base might help too-it's just flat and doesn't fit to a foot shape-some simple modifications could increase comfort dramatically.

these were replacements for a very old pair of Tevas' We didn't fully look at what we were buying. we have returned this pair and am hoping the pair with more durable soles will be better for rough outdoor wear.

Bought these before going to Bonnaroo and I loved them. Super cute and comfortable. Perfect for the heat and I could wear them for a 14 hour day and my feet wouldn't be sore. However, after 4 days of wearing them nonstop, they have begun to fall apart. The layers of the sole are peeling off. If you are looking for something that will last, I would suggest putting in the extra money and buying a sportier Teva.

These are fairly flimsy, and not nearly as good as my two pairs of earlier Teva leather sandals that are still, several years later, excellent to wear, but just a little worn looking. I can only wear these for shopping or such, totally not suitable for outdoor wear as the older ones were.

I wanted an outdoor, warm weather shoe. This might have worked for size, but the textured insole made it uncomfortable to walk in.

I really wanted to love this shoe, but as soon as I tried it on I knew it was a no-go. The molded sole has a built-in arch support, and it was not in the same place as the actual arch in my foot. To make it fit, I had to shove my feet all the way forward until my toes hung off the edge, and then I couldn't walk normally. I'm sure this is a great shoe for people with normal feet, but if your feet are unusual in any way, don't buy it.

Ordered two pair. Wore one around the house. No where near the usual comfort of my other Teva's. May be returning both pairs today :( Very disappointed.

I am looking for a leather sandal with a leather footbed. I need a sandal with good support for walking, and a little style. These were a little too utilitarian looking, and had no arch support. I really loved the leather sandals with cork bottoms that Teva used to carry. These are nowhere near as nice. I sent them back. Teva has a great refund policy and products are well made.

Years ago I had city sandals. I ordered these as a replacement. I wanted these to be my go to summer sandals. The fit is comfortable and I will keep them, but they lack style. They look like upscale flip-flops, so I will wear them to work. There is a fair amount of sole showing around my foot. The strap into the sole at the ankle seems very short (compare to the ankle strapped flip-flops). The quality is definitely less than in years past. I wish Teva would bring back the city sandals.

I have about 6 pairs of Teva's apparently none of mine are the original. These are not the same as the ones I have and size was different and did not feel as comfortable. Nice looking just didn't fit my feet so I am returning. I will know in the future I didn't get the original.

My feet swell in heat. The plastic triangles holding the straps dig into my flesh. Had I continued to wear them, I would have blistered from the friction. I have similar sandals from another company that have protective fabric under the strap connectors that prevent my feet from being injured. I have worn them 5 yr. Replacements are 1/2 the price. I spent the extra because I loved the colors. I see there are others your company makes, that have this kind of protection, but it doubles the price (4x the other brand) I am diabetic. I cannot afford to injure my feet. I am also on a limited income. I can't spend the kind of money you charge for the sandal that protects my feet and offers the great colors. leaves me no choice but to give the Teva's to a granddaughter, and go back to the mud colored, safe for my feet, other brand.

The flip=flop material soles were a disappointment. I have raved about my Teva's for years and when my daughter ordered some we were so disappointed.

After having them for two weeks they began to fray

Wish the souls were softer and more coushined

Quality not as good as sandals I bought as previously. The footbed looks and feels cheap. I bought these for extra support as I have a broken heel that was never set and can't wear flip flops. I have an older pair I bought years ago that had a lot of support in them and still do, except they are wearing out. I will have to buy a better quality sandal than this one.

I found everything about the shoe great except the top surface that you place your foot on was not comfortable for me, I have other ate a sandals whereby that surface is so much more comfortable. That is why I returned them.

There was a change in this sandal, the foot bed is rougher and the overall feel, feels cheaper. There was a certain comfort with the old style, which I do miss. Yes, the shoe was a bit heavier, but the comfort was there, not only on the foot bed but the straps.They've still made it stylish looking.

They're great if you don't have to do a lot of walking. The material on this particular style makes the bottoms of my feet feel raw if I walk too much in them.
