Customer Reviews Teva Original Universal

I wanted to love these sandals. The footbed it comfortable, but like so many others who reviewed, the lack of an adjustable back strap was an issue. Your foot naturally works its way back while walking until your heel is practically hanging off the back of your shoe. I tried two different sizes and couldn't make either work. I do recommend ordering a size down though. I love the look of the shoe, so this was very disappointing. I hope Teva fixes this design problem because I would love to own a pair that work.

The shoe is comfortable but the color of the shoe is not at all similar to the color in the picture description. The dimensions are larger than the details.

I was really disappointed that these tevas have a blue base. It is really difficult to tell from the website that the footbed is blue, it looks to be black. They also seem to fit smaller than my last pair, I have measured them against my old pair and they seem a good half centimeter or so smaller, so almost too small for my feet now.

Great for my kayaking sport. Really lousy because the soles kept separating & shoe repair folks could not secure the sole back together w/any type of glue. When the soles separated, that was the end of the sandals. Hopefully, w/the new sole, the product will last a bit longer than &45.

I've owned the Original Universal sandals since the 80's. I love them and have always had at least a pair. I wanted to venture out so I bought these with the vibrant colors. Mistake. The sandal is obviously awesome, but the yellow color strap gets so dirty. I have to wash it after every use. Love the colors, but the yellow is just too light.

I've always loved tevas and was excited to see them come out with the old style that were always my favorite. However, the soles of these are much too hard and course, making them uncomfortable. They are so heavily textured that when I take them off after wearing them a while, the bottoms of my feet become highly sensitive. It's disappointing. I don't believe these are the kind of shoes that require to be broken in, they should be comfortable from the start. I hope they are able to be broken in because otherwise I'll really never want to wear them.

I've only heard great things about Teva so I decided to try some. I normally wear a 8.5 but didn't see any half sizes so I ordered a 9 and they seem to fit fine however I've worn them a handful of times and my foot constantly slides to the back of the shoe. This makes them uncomfortable to walk in. I've tried tightening all the adjustable straps but nothing has helped. Is this normal?? Thank you

Compared to the ones my husband recently purchased them Owens are flimsy and cheap looking. I will not be purchasing any more.

The plastic attachment on the front outside edge of each sandal digs into my foot when I walk, making them quite uncomfortable. They are nice and light, I just wish that piece didn't dig into my foot. I can only wear them for very short periods of time.

These ladies shoes are flimsy and cheap looking compared to the ones my husband bought.

I wish I could have kept these sandals since I love the design and style, but unfortunately, had to make an exchange since the straps were way too long and 2-3 inches hung off the sides of my ankles. The front strap across the toes was also too long. I ordered the same size for the original universal sandals and the straps were much better.

I don't like the original to flat Makes my knees hurt gave them to my daughter I'm send a pic of my old ones that probably have 100,000 miles on them. Help me choose similar style please

I can see that these shoes could be great for outdoor activity, but frankly I found the material and feel to be stiff and not comfortable. Sent back.

A size up would be too large, but my current size has my heels hanging off of it as I'm walking. No matter the adjustments I make, my feet tend to go sideways in it. Wanted to love them as they are cute, but too uncomfortable.

I love them but after a couple uses without socks I got blisters on the top on my pinky toe. The plastic triangle rubs. Maybe I don't think it's the size because they fit just right. It just depends on the shape of your foot. Unfortunately you can't return or have options for that kind of thing.

The toe area of the sandal catches on the ground almost causing me to trip quite often. I have tried tightening the straps but I continue to have the problem. Maybe they accidentally shipped a size bigger.
