Customer Reviews Teva Original Universal

Was so excited to get this sandal. LOVED the color & design in the back. It was comfortable right when I put it on, except for one of the side plastic buckles that rubbed on my skin. I thought maybe with time it would get better. I'm a 9 1/2 so wasn't sure if I should size up or down. I bought a 10, which ended up a little too big, so I filled out the exchange form & sent them back for a 9. Long story short, I was told the Teva warehouse had inventory issues & couldn't process my exchange, yet their website showed size 9 in stock. Trying to get an explanation for the discrepancy didn't work. Ended up feeling frustrated & disappointed in Teva staff. Exchanges with Teva don't work out.

i've worn through 2 prior pairs of this leather sandal and have loved them. Unfortunarely, for me and my aging body, the model has been "streamlined," and no longer has the same cushioning as the original. i have 5 other pairs of "fashion" Teva's that are wonderful, but the Original has been my go-to for every day and for city walking. i did return them but am open to alternative suggestions....

I'm very satisfied.

I was having a difficult time choosing between Chaccos and Tevas but I decided to give Tevas a chance since I had never had them before. They are stylish and I like the way the look so I had high expectations. Sadly, I was disappointed with the sizing and the durability. They are a half size too big and terribly uncomfortable. I wore them to the beach and by the end of the day I had blisters and my feet were aching. I would not recommend, especially if you are looking for hiking sandals.

I have bought many pairs of your sandals but the last 2 were not up to your standards i still have the 1st pair I bought and love to have another but you no longer make them.

Please send me a return shipping label. I need a better sandal than these. My real "originals" have lasted me for over 13 years. The soles are still perfect, just coming unglued.

The shoe was purchased for my husband as we were vacationing at the beach and he needed something that he could get wet while walking our dog and throwing the ball into the water. It was perfect with the exception of the blisters it caused right where the ring is positioned on the top of his feet. We are returning it for the Toachi model which has no ring. Other than that I will continue to buy TEVA-excellent quality!

It had a rough corner

Shoes feel flimsy, the fit is narrow and the soles have an uncomfortable ribbed pattern - returned.

I have wanted to try these for years and was very excited about my purchase. However, the sandal fits very strangely. My heel when the straps are fastened, my heel slides off of the back of the sandal. I cannot adjust the straps tight enough to prevent this without the straps digging into the front of my ankle.

I bought these for my 10 yr old and she has worn them twice and the sole is already separating from the bottom. We've had pairs in the past that did this after a year of use, but now it's immediate. I may have to reconsider buying tevas in the future as the brand quality seems to have gone wayyy down.

These were my first pair of teva sandals which I purchased for a trip to Hawaii since they're water proof, beach and hiking friendly. I was super excited for these but the first day of wearing them they rubbed against my foot so much that it tore my skin and I was bleeding. I tried readjusting multiple times and loosening the straps but nothing seemed to help. By the end of the day I had to purchase new (and expensive sandals in Hawaii) as my feet were bleeding and peeling in multiple spots. The sandals were white and basically blood soaked by the end which didn't come off after washing them so instead of packing them like that for the rest of our time there I ended up leaving them. Super disappointing.

How do I return these? They dig into my little toes on both feet no matter how I adjust the Velcro.

My old Tevas were work horses and lasted forever. These went back right away. The ankle strap was WAY too short and wouldn't stay closed. So much of the Velcro was exposed I can only imagine the stray threads and lint it would pick up over time. I suppose if you trim a little here and trim a little there, you can cut down on production costs.but they've gone too far.

The sole is thin and not very supportive. It looks and feels cheap.

Last pair, not so much the straps are rough and the sole is bumpy. I wanted something to wear at the beach, on the boat and in the water. These look like water shoes, nylon and rubber stuff but the are rough and the strap around the ankle can't be tighted enough to stay on. So . . . wish you had the other all rubber ones that I purchased a year or so ago, they were fabulous. All white, all rubber, and adjustable, no bumps and comfortable. Maybe you'll make them again???????

Straps were oddly very long... like dragging on the floor long. Maybe a defect? I returned and got a different pair -- the W HURRICANE XLT2. Much more comfortable (more cushion) and straps were normal length.

There is practically no arch and the soles are very slippery. A big let down!
