Customer Reviews Teva Original Universal

I had to buy a pair of new Tevas since my old pair from 1993 finally gave out. I was disappointed to discover that the sole has changed from a sturdier 2 layer to just a single layer without the bottom. But still a great sandal.

I'm usually a size 7.5 and since they don't carry half sizes I got an 8. The straps are very comfortable but a little big on me, and the sole isn't aligned with the straps so my heel sits weird on it. But once you get use to it they're comfortable.

My new Tevas were my second pair; wore old ones for 30 years till soles separated : good product

I love these sandals for the design and color scheme, not many manufacturers offer such a wide range. But. This is the second time I wear this model, and the second time I have a problem with their toes when they completely turn outward after I stumble over something on the road. I have worn many different sandals, but have never encountered this problem with others.

These shoes are cool, and comfortable, but I cannot figure out why the velcro straps are so long. I have a pretty standard shaped foot but I end up having a lot of extra strap sticking out past the side of the shoe which just makes them look like they don't fit. Ended up having to go try some on in a store and size a full size down.

Love the look, but it was too large.

I love the style and I love how comfy they are and how they look. They're a great pair of sandals. My only complaint is in sizing. It's fairly true to size, but just slightly off

I ordered these because I'm pregnant, and I needed a pair of sandals that were adjustable. The strap rubs my toes a little. It I had ordered a wide instead of a regular shoe, but for the price, I'm not going to complain.

I love the comfort, looks, and feel to it. It's my almost everyday to go out wear. The only problem would be the toe part would sometimes bend back so easily making a scratch mark on top of the soles. I don't like that so I had to tighten it for it to not grab onto the ground sometimes. Like carpet for instant. But roads, side walks, indoors tiles works magnificent for it.

The band across the foot are not positioned in the same place on both sandals. Kinda bothers me

These sandals are SO comfortable. I absolutely love them, and the retro style. I have worn them around the house for extra support while WFH all summer, as well as on multiple long walks around the neighborhood or light walks at the park. Very supportive. The only reason for 4 stars instead of 5 is that the bottom layer in the front of one of the shoes was coming off within a few days of light wear. I looked into the warranty (which is awesome) but I didn't want to have to send them back for a while and not have them to wear. Superglue fixed the issue for a while, but after wearing for a few months, the back part of the same shoe is now peeling off. I will glue it but I wish the policy was to send a new pair or ask for photos vs having to mail my shoes back; I need to wear them and don't want to be without for a while.

I read lots of reviews before purchasing and I would in fact buy them again because I do love them. My only issue is the heel strap. My feet slide if walking up hill even with the other straps tightened. But if you're just walking on flat land they are perfect and very comfortable.

It's been years since I've owned Tevas, but I purchased these as a lightweight sandal for a backpacking trip with a few rocky creek and river crossings. No issues with slipping or stability - I tightened the straps and they felt very secure. I ended up hiking in them for a few miles after one crossing and the somewhat squishy footbed felt amazing after a full day in trail runners. I wore them every night when we made camp and they always felt great. I do think they run a bit long. I'm a pretty standard size 6, but have some room left. I ordered them online and wish I'd tried them on in advance to see if a 5 would've been better. Regardless, they fit well enough and I'll continue to wear them!

I wear these sandals because the width can be adjusted at the forefoot and over the arch. I have bunions and most fashion sandals have a strap of some kind that goes right over them. The Tevas are lightweight and attractive. My only complaint is that when I loosen the Velcro strap at the forefoot to prevent pressure on the bunions, about an inch of Velcro is exposed on top of my foot. This exposed Velcro picks up everything and is impossible to clean.

Quality sandal, good for everyday wear. Great for campsite, river, lake, boating and running around town. Just enough thickness to provide cushion underfoot but not too much to be bulky. Do not over-tighten straps, you'll feet will pay the price and develop hot spots, making these uncomfortable to wear. Perfect fit is just shy of a locked in feel. You should be able to wiggle your foot just a touch and you know you have the right fit. Note: I am a size 13 but but a size 12 in all TEVA product, so yes, they do run big. I'd recommend down sizing 1/2 - 1 size if you never have tried TEVA on before.

I wore these as a kid/teen in the eighties and loved them. They are amazing for tons of outdoor activities. I bought this pair and have worn them for about a month now. I have to say comfort, fit and feel are pretty close. Definitely not the same though. The only reason for the 4 stars was the omission of the rear adjustable strap. My heel does fit in the sandal great, but I liked that you could just use the rear strap to put on your sandals. Or potentially use them as a slip-on. Hopefully this returns, but not a deal breaker, definitely will buy again when these wear out.

Only bummer is I must drag my toe and the bottom flips back- just need to pick up my feet!!

I love the shoes, a good price for what you get, but the fact that I'm in-between sizes is a disappointing thing for Teva. They do run big.

I bought an 11 and it fits well. It does fit a little bigger than my like but it's comfortable enough to wear around. The only con is the Velcro strap has a small piece of fabric that allows you to adjust the tightness that already ripped off 3 weeks in.

I'm a lifeguard and I bought these to wear for work. I usually work 6 hour shifts with nonstop walking and my feet have been perfectly fine. The size is good, however your foot sits towards the back of the shoe so your heel might be hanging off unless you shove your foot to the front.
