Customer Reviews Teva Original Universal

In love with the design, colors and comfort! My first pair of Teva's and will definitely not be the last.

Got them as a gift for a friend!' She said she loved them !! On the other hand I bought two pair for myself for a trip they got lost and so I canceled my order but I plan to order for myself

Bought these for my 15 yr old son. He's not crazy about the look of the shoe (he'd rather be in a flip flop), but since those aren't practical for much more than to/from a pool, these Texas will serve him well.

I gave it a 4 star because it was cute. However, my left pinky toe skin almost peeled. It was not as comfortable as I imagined. I used it in water, on sand, and almost everywhere, but I had to walk weird because I had to push my toes forward so that my pinky is not touching the side to avoid scratching it. Even after I adjusted looser or tighter, my pinky kept touching the side of the sandals. I would not wear it again. I'll try to find better water shoes and walking shoes.

Sole need more thickness in my opinion hence 4 not 5 stars.

I have been wearing this style in black for several years. The fun combination of bright colors got me to purchase a new pair. They are just as good except the somewhat "bumpy" finish of the insole is a bit uncomfortable without socks. It is a different finish from my old black pair.

I have owned many Teva saddles over the years and these are still new and have only been worn about 6 times for less than 24 hours total, but I can compare and offer 1st impressions. They are light in weight and rather soft in the foot bed. The top footed is much softer than other Teva saddles I've owned (Terra Fi and Hurricane XLT) and the bottom sole is thin, but hard rubber for good durability. There is a midsole as well. The rear strap is not padded nor adjustable, but fits good for me. Both top straps are adjustable and comfortably fit my 14E feet. I hope they work well in the water because they will go kayaking and walking in wet and submerged conditions.

Always love Teva for their superior comfort.

My husband loves the shoes. The only downside was I have to make the back strap smaller. The shoe fit the width but not the length, so I had to take in the strap. The adjustable straps hungover. It seem like they did not consider those who have skinny/bony feet now. I have to cut and sew those straps too.

These are great! The design is beautiful and vibrant and they are comfortable walking shoes. Like other reviewers, I wish that the strap along the heel was adjustable. My feet are narrow and these feel a bit loose in the back because of that. It's getting cold up here in Massachusetts but I will definitely wear these a lot next summer!

Wear all the time.

Overall, a good product. At first, I didn't know if the foot bed would be comfortable, but it worked out to be very comfortable. Comfort is expected with Tevas which is the main reason all of my shoes are Tevas! I do have a concern about the durability of the soles, and this is not just the originals but other products. I had a pair of Hudsons (?) bought at a discount shoe store about 4-5 years ago. Those were comfortable and really long wearing (I usually wear out soles in 1-2 years, but these lasted 4 years of wearing nearly 5-6 months per year. I wore out the footbed first!). My Rivas show no signs of wear despite wearing about 6 months of the year. I have a pair of Arrowood 2 with the softer soles for about 2 years, and they are already showing fairly typical signs of wear with light/moderate wear. The soft soles on the originals do not seem as durable. We will see, but I the sole material is pretty soft, so I am not hopeful. Don't worry, Teva, I am a loyal customer! These would probably last a long time for weekend wear, or if wearing sandals is a fashion to be replaced frequently. I will likely stay away from the softer soled shoes and sandals for me. My next pair will need a harder sole next time because I wear them quite often - shoes are functional to me.

I am very happy with these shoes. They are very comfortable and fit perfectly. The one thing that takes some time to get used to is the feel of the material in the sole of the shoe. I'm excited to take these on my next camping trip.

The only thing I would change about this sandal is the back heel strap. I'd rather it was adjustable so I could tighten it a bit to keep my foot positioned a little bit further forward on the sole.

Good looking sandal, my only complaint is that I received an obvious return, hesitant to order again.

They fit great, but I have foot problems and as soon as I tried them on, I knew the sole wouldn't be thick enough for me. I swapped them for the midforms. I'm hoping they will be just right!

Loved the shoes but they were too small. Could somebody please reach out and let me know how to do that. Thanks in advance

These are my first pair of Teva ever. Was really excited to get them had high expectations. Been seeing them a lot around and thought they were pretty cool. Got them to walk around , some trails and surf trips in summer months. The design and look of the sandal is sweet.It actually looks pretty good. When I tried them on the whole feeling was rough, the polyester straps feel extremely rough as well as the sole. Still gave them some time to break in and hopefully loosen up a bit. the straps material makes my foot really hot and a bit sweaty. Not the feeling I was looking for. Also, they're not so easy to put on/off and that's not convenient when you take your wetsuit off. So sticking to flipflops when going surfing. I wish I could love them but I guess at the moment its not working out for me. Will give em more time.. But , I'd still recommend them just my honest opinion.

This sandal is very comfortable but has a sturdy Sole as well... Nice

These are my second pair of Tevas but my first of this style. Bought these for their simplicity to wear causally in the backcountry and in the city. So far I'm finding them to be perfect for that purpose since they transition seamlessly from one to the other. Definitely my new go-to travel sandal. The only thing keeping me from rating this shoe five stars is that I'm finding the soles to be a bit slippery on some surfaces.

Soft shoes

I love everything about this shoe except that the footbed was redone and there are two lines that go across the pad of your foot. This tends to pinch the skin and I feel was unnecessary.

These Tevas are super cute. I love that the straps were different colors. However, the first time I wore them there was something pokey on the inside of one of the straps and I got a blister after a short 30 minute walk. I had to do some investigating into the straps to figure out what was poking me and removed it with scissors. The pokey bit still seemed to be there, but after a few wears, it's gone now and I have no complaints. These are now comfortable, colorful, and cute! Not sure if I'd purchase another pair in the future, but happy with the ones I've got.

I haven't had a pair of these since I was a kid, and they are perfect for hot days and long walks. I have narrow feet and the adjustable straps means I can adjust to my teensy feet. They are bright, colorful. and great for summer.
