Customer Reviews Teva Original Universal

Fits well comfy looks good sole a bit soft ... tendency to bend if you dont lift your foot high enough when walking top catches on pavement and bends ... definitely not my hiking shoes!!!!

These shoes look so great, and seem to be well made. and I even have a pair of 25 year old tevas that are still getting regular use.. but these aren't quite the same. They are total pinkie toe punishers. Rubbin those babies raw. Also we need some half sizes up in here please, that might solve the fit problem

The fit and function of these tevas are amazing! I've wanted to try them for such a long time and will not be leaving any time soon. However, I did order one of the retro, color block patterns, and it was much brighter in real life, and much less muted, like they looked online. It wasn't so bad that I needed to send them back, but just know, they're pretty bright. Overall, great shoe!

These are beautiful and I wanted to love them. I am a true 6.5 but ordered a 7 thinking that would be plenty big enough. Unfortunately my heal kept falling off the back edge and there was too much space in the front for the toes. I consistently have to keep schootching my toes forward to ensure that my heal is not off the back of the platform. I can't imagine actually going on an outdoor adventure in these. I haven't seen anyone else report this issue. Not sure if it is because I am a half size. Needless to say I was disappointed after all the hype about this brand. And I really wanted to keep them because of the beautiful bright colors.

The Original Universal does not offer the same amount of support as the Terra, Sanborn or Hurricane Tava sandals. I wish the Hurricane, Terra and Sanborn came in the same vibrant colors/patterns. I'll be returning/exchanging the Original Unversal sandals for another pair of Tevas

Almost too light, yet not comfortable on the bottom of the sole of my foot. Also, the straps are hard to take off because the little tab that was once easy to grab is now not so easy to grab.

Received the wrong size only to have the size I needed out of stock. Customer service was not helpful in getting me the size I needed.

Larger & more clunky than pictured . I'll use them for the beach . A little disappointed . I loved the colors & might have ordered more but won't now .

I've never owned Teva sandals before so I thought I would give it a shot. I hike a lot and I'm always outdoors so these sandals seemed like a great choice. The size is true to fit, I love the number of options you have print/color wise and they are super lightweight. The only downside for me is that I got a killer blister on my pinky toe, but only on one foot. Maybe my feet are two different sizes now, but I never had a rubbing problem with Chacos. The Teva sandals just have that plastic piece where the fabric attaches in such a weird place. I'm also not a fan of the velcro straps for two reasons: Dog hair trap and I can't slip them on and off easily.

The shoe it big in my opinion which makes the straps not fit quite how I would want them to. Size down if your gonna purchase. Love love love the print.

The sandals were scratchy and not anything like the other two pair I have.

Loved the color combo, but fit smaller than anticipated when using the size chart. Had to send back.

Previous Tevas I have bought were 91/2, I was forced to get a 10 because no half sizes offered. The 91/2 would really have been my size, as I said these are ok, but a tad longer than needed and it's more how they look rather than how they feel, since they're sandals.

So this is second request. I got the shoes just 4 days ago. I haven't really had a chance to figure out how I feel about them. It being strange times, the purchasing process was also strange. This has coloured my feelings. I haven't jumped into wearing. On the other hand they are not an "oh this is great" feel. The top strap is a little pinchy. Because they're 8s and I wear a 7 1/2, they're just a little big. Perhaps you could ask again in a couple of weeks I have worn Tevas for 20 years and always loved them. Major problems:. Someone at Teva took money out of my account without authorization. Initially shipped one pair of 2 ordered. Not sure what all is going on at Teva.

Great if you don't need much/any support l. I returned them and payed more for a little more arch support. I'm happy with my decision.

Comfortable for the money. I was bummed not to see an adjustable back strap. I thought it was a standard with all Teva's.

I was expecting these shoes to have much more support to them. They are essentially foam with straps so walking in them is not ideal. I think they work great for in water and swimming but not for much else. I won't return them because they do have some good qualities, but wish they were more functional for walking & hiking short distances.

While the product is similar to the original, I miss my original ones which had a much better made sole.

I bought a pair of Tevas from your website. Are used Apple Pay. We had just moved and I didn't realize I hadn't updated my address in Apple Pay yet. Your website never asked for an address and ship the shoes to my old house. I didn't receive a receipt or confirmation of sale for three days. In fact I thought you had stolen my money. If it wasn't for the person who bought my house calling me I would've never gotten the shoes. Multiple attempts to contact your customer service were unsuccessful. Your hours of operation are a joke.

I have a pair of 15 year old Tevas & it has wider straps and a real rubber non slick sole. My new Teva Sandals are slippery I don't see them being safe in the river like the original ones. I purchased the new pair for a replacement . I am disappointed

I grew up in a Teva family. We all had a pair as long as I can remember and we wore them everywhere. It's been about 15 years and I guess nostalgia drew me back to get another pair. I ordered the original universal sandal for women in an 8 (I usually wear 7.5). First thing I noticed is the base of the sandal isn't as sturdy as they used to be, but they're very squishy and lightweight. I think this makes them comfy for summer, but not durable. I also miss that the back heel strap used to be adjustable to get the perfect fit. Without adjustment, it's extremely difficult to get my foot to stay in the "perfect" spot which causes the front toe strap to rub the side of my foot/toe uncomfortably. Another missing element is the padding on the inside of the heel strap, but it's not a deal breaker. The straps overall don't seem as sturdy as they used to, but I think they'll hold up well enough. My biggest complaint besides no heel adjustment is that the straps are too long. For the sandals to hold my feet properly, I'd have about 1" of strap just hanging off the sandal. I'm keeping them because I paid expedited shipping, they're a beautiful color, and I'm hoping they'll break in. Pros: -Lightweight -Nice color options -Velcro makes many adjustment options -Sole flexes with foot Cons: -No heel strap adjustment -Straps are too long -Materials don't seem as durable as they did 15-20 years ago -Not the best value for the price

I have high arches and an entire day in them made my feet ache. Would be better if the back strap adjusted around the heel also. Very cute shoes but shipping was a nightmare. Took a week for them to even process my order. I think there's better options out there.

The sole on the left shoe split within two weeks of purchase. Teva was great about getting me a Free return label and dealing with the return.
