Customer Reviews Teva Original Universal

I had some of the original Teva sandals of more than 20 years ago and thought these would be similar. The sole is very thin and floppy and the part under your toes folds over while walking. They're also cut strangely. With my feet snug in the straps, the small toes hang over the edge while the big toes are 3/4" or more from the edge of the sole. Teva has certainly lowered their standards and no longer make the quality products they used to.

I have worn TEVA sandals for years. This particular sandal does not have a good sole. It's too stiff and uncomfortable.

I wore them walking around my college campus and light hiking but the strap broke after a month of wearing them. I really like them but I don't know if the quality is poor or mine had a defect but it was very upsetting.

i ordered these in pink/grey and was impressed with the style, they are a nice nod to the classic tevas i grew up wearing. however, i am very unimpressed with the quality of the rubber. after wearing them for merely 3 month, the rubber soles have cracked in half. i primarily wore my tevas walking about town and going to restaurants, by no means any streneous activities. I am dissapointed because i wanted to like these, and i do like their style, however the quality leaves much to be desired. I would suggest buying a different style.

I did not like flat sole. I do like contoured sole

I brought these sandals on a trip with me, assuming that they would be good in water. I was wrong. Once they touch water they become VERY slippery which made my walking incredibly hard. With water the leather also frayed. Everything else about the sandal was great.

I was told Tevas were very comfortable. But after wearing them for a week-2 weeks my feet are destroyed. Blisters in 4-5 different spots on each foot. And an ugly tan line to boot.

been buying teva for decades; use to be the greatest thing out there. Now they are cheaply made with poor durability.

I loved the older version of this shoe, had padded footbed & straps were more cushioned. I've bought several pairs over the last 20 years, walk everywhere in them!! soles are finally wearing out on my last pair, am sad the new version is not nearly as well-made!

While I have loved other Teva products in the past, this one just didn't work out. The size was too large, the toe strap cut into the side of my foot and there were no arch supports. I have a high instep and need that support to be able to wear these all day. The color is very nice and would have been perfect with some of my summer outfits.

The soles were very strange, like thick flip-flop soles. Not what I was used to from Teva. I had to send them back.

I love this design, and the feel of these shoes. They're lightweight, comfy and unique. However....I'm a 7 1/2. Not a 7, not an 8...I tried on 8's in store and they were way too big, just not comfortable. So I ordered a 7 and sure enough the tip of my big toe is off the sole. Why, Teva? Surely you have enough customers you can afford to add half-sizes for accuracy...

Sole not as supportive as previous pair. Hardware on top right caused blisters on both feet after 2 days. Not as pleased with this pair as previous pair.

Love the "look" of the sandal. Unfortunately I have blisters on both feet below little toe where the hardware meets the foot. My last pair of Teva's, the original Teva Sandal, I wore for yrs. & never had a problem. Sole is not as supportive as last pair. At least I purchased on sale.

My husband owns a pair of Teva sandals. They have much more support and the soles seem to be more durable. I really didn't research the Teva choice I made, but once I received my Teva sandals, I realized I must have purchased a 'Basic' pair.

Did not fit my foot comfortably.

I plan on using them on a trip to Disney. I like being able to adjust the width. I crossed my legs and the Velcro attached to each other. It was a little difficult to separate them. I think they are a little too long.

just listed above!!!

I had a great memory of this sandals, I owned 2 pairs in Africa for 10 years w/o a single problem. The base was shaped and containing my feet perfectly and higher border protected them. Now base is flat giving less protection to feet and the plastic triangle near the toes after half an hour is painful and I must take off the sandals.

Unfortunately, the stiffness of the nylon rubs the little toe raw within minutes of wearing them, causing too much pain to keep them on. Wearing socks would eliminate the problem but they defeat the purpose.

I did not find this shoe comfortable at all. No arch support, not adjustable enough and too narrow. Not worth the price.

Have always been pleased with all sandals I have gotten from Teva, but these are not quite " as up to par" in quality and comfort as the others, but i have been wearing them and trying to get used to them.

The texture on the sole bothered my food. It didn't feel like a quality shoe.

The sole was hard and didn't have a foot bed and was hard. The strap doesn't have inside pad to protect your toes. My little toe hurt.

Tevas that I purchased many years ago are of much better quality. The soles were solid and supported your foot. The new Tevas that I just purchased online have flimsy soles and they do not conform to the curve if my feet. The Velcro catches when I cross my ankles and after only two weeks, the straps are fraying where the Velcro pulls on them. They're uncomfortable if I walk very far.
