Customer Reviews Teva Original Universal

My only criticism would be please make half sizes. Since I had to go up, I occasionally feel like the extra length will trip me up somewhere.

I love my Tevas. I just got my first pair (in Eiffel Tower size 8) and they're awesome! a little tight and stiff but I can tell they'll get better. I wear a 38 in Birkenstocks and 8 in converse and these fit great. the toe area is kind of large like birks but the foot bed is soooooo comfy! I can't wait to wear them with socks. I only gave it 4 stars because they need breaking in.

owned two before, just not happy you can't adjust the heel strap like the originals were

Really comfortable, the straps are not rough after the initial wear. Only problem I have is a slight blistering on the ball of my feet, but that stopped after I wore them a few times. And I worry how long the shoe will hold its shape and continue to be supportive.

wore them for a three month backpacking trip across Europe. Perfect for walking and dressing up or down!

I bought these sandals right before my honeymoon because I knew we'd be walking around California a lot. These sandals are some of the most comfortable sandals I've ever owned. I like they they had them in black, because it goes with everything.

I use sandals around the water and boat. At my pool, sailboat, kayak, and dinghy. A real boat sole ie Sperry topsiders would be great.

Everything is good except the shipping packing. The box is too large.

Right out of the box I wore them for hours and didn't want to take them off. Took a little but of wearing and fiddling to get the fit just right, but that's what I love, that the fit is adjustable. There's enough arch support to be comfortable but not too much that it hinders certain people from wearing it. I had wanted chacos forever and kept pricing them and finally tried them on and they were heavy, clunky and the narrow too narrow and the wide too big in the heel and not wide where I needed. Then I saw the Teva's but the one with the strap between the toe kept getting the velcro stuck to the fabric. Then I saw these online! Fell in love with the color and had to have them. Thank goodness they were affordable too. Just took them to Hawaii, wore them on rafting and boating excursions, hiking to sweet heart rock, walking around everyday. Only once were they a little slippery and that was in the tide pools with wet rocks covered in plants. Highly recommend these shoes. Color is beautiful, looks a more pink online and lavender in person but I still love the color. Also I got red dirt on them and sand every day and it all rinsed off. Only CON sometimes I don't like the velcro, the sound when taking it off or the fact that it can get caught on some other fabrics.

I have to say that I am very pleased with my Teva Originals. These were my first pair of Tevas as I was hesitant to invest in more $$ sandals. But I have made the right choice in buying these last year. I have light to medium skin color and decided to get the coral colored ones, which go well with everything I have. They aren't too flashy, they're light and flexible, and give me the support I need for my feet! I brought them to Hong Kong last year for 6weeks (super hot and humid) and they were the perfect shoes as my feet tend to swell in hot temperatures! I wore them everyday and also got them wet from hikes, the beach, and the pool. Pro: Great for amusement parks, fairs, concerts, kayaking, short hikes, etc. A Con was that the bottom sole started to slowly separate from the top layer from the walking and wet terrain I've been to. Another Con is that because I have a slim foot, I had to keep the straps a little looser than I would have liked because they start to become too long when i adjust them to my liking, which I don't really mind, but would like it shorter when i do more rigorous walking/hiking. Another con (not really) was that it gave me the weirdest tan lines....but I like my Tevas enough to not mind that! In conclusion, I am looking forward to buying another pair. Probably the Hurricane or the Vera version for my next upgrade as I like the sturdier soles (especially since I tend to always get mine wet). In addition: After I got mine, I convinced my two other friends to get their own...and now we all match!

They're great, but the most annoying part is if the rough side of the Velcro accidentally sticks to the outside of the strap (with the design), it sort of pulls at the threads and frays them.

Previous pair wore well--hope these wear as long. Too bad I didn't find them in a local store.

I was worried about the fit because I have very wide feet. But, the sandal accomodated the wideness of my feet great! They did leave a couple blisters when I first broke them in.

wear while on my boat

I really like how my Tevas look. I love the cute pattern! When I purchased these I was hoping for a comfortable shoe with some support for walking long distances. They do not have the arch support I thought they would, but I'm hoping they will break in and form to my foot more as I wear them. They are great for casual wear. I especially like wearing them on hikes that involve crossing water.

Use these all summer- practically indestructible

I like the overall look and quality of the shoe. The straps could be a little less stiff and scratchy. The plastic triangle piece that connects the strap at the toe digs in to my pinky toe. However, that could just be my feet. I get a lot of compliments on them. They are very cute and I'm sure they will only get even more comfortable with use.

As soon as I walked in these I felt like my feet were lighter. Comfortable & sturdy

I love the looks of the Teva and the straps feel soft around my foot, better than the original Teva's I bought 20 years ago. However, the soul of the sandal is a rougher feel on my feet. My other pair are smooth next to the bottom of my feet.

I wear them every chance I get

Walking around in these is close to going barefoot. Really comfortable. Saw these all over Bonnaroo. 70,000 people can't be wrong!

I love these! My only negative remark- I got a blister on my big toe, from the strap rubbing.

I got these for wearing to the pools in hotels and resorts. They're cool and dry fast. I was a bit disappointed they did not have the mush footbed like the other universals I have, but those are a size larger and a little big on me---I usually get a 7.5 so I sized up to an 8---so this time I sized down and got a 7. The length is perfect but they're a bit narrow. I have heel spurs and Achilles' tendon issues so I wear shoes all the time, usually Birkenstocks or vionics or Tevas with the heel cup. But I've been wearing these all day for four days without a flare up so that's great! They have a nice arch support. I'd buy them again.

It's dressy enough to wear to work in a woman's boutique ... sea fog is great color!

Solid sandals. Not the support or comfort of the Terra Fi's, but still a great sandal for the price.
