Customer Reviews Teva Original Universal

The picture in ad is misleading as the product falls way short of the photo. Not only that, but previous purchases of Teva sandals were wonderful....nice looking and very very comfortable immediately. These were ugly and most uncomfortable. Good bye Teva.

This sandal is not comfortable and I was told I cannot return it

I bought this original style, not realizing that the sole of the sandal is different than what it used to be. It is now a waffle-style ridged sole (the part of the sandal that touches the bottom entire sole of your foot). This ridged surface created cuts in the sides of the soles of my feet that became painful very quickly. I tried putting bandaids on my feet to cover the cuts, and I still got the cuts in the same places.

I still wear many Tevas from prior purchases. The "old" Tevas have a more sculpted fit. This only has a flat piece of rubber. Not a good fit,bad for my feet. Very,very disappointed. Would not order agin.

I've been wearing Teva's for over fifteen years now. My suntan lines are my Teva straps, and they are visible year round. I replace my Tevas about once a year because they are what I wear 250 days of the year. (I love living in California.) I like the way these look, but they aren't very durable. The pretty threaded design on the straps has already started to unravel after just a few months. I'm not particular hard on my Tevas, I simply wear them walking. If you are walking over an uneven sidewalk and come down a bit toe first, the sole of the shoe will generally bend backwards. This has never happened to me with any other pair of Tevas. It's an odd sensation. I will most certainly recommend Tevas in the future, just not this particular style. This is the first time I've ever been truly disapointed with a Teva product.

They are generally uncomfortable no matter how I adjust them. The looked very comfortable in the pictures, but not so. Wasted my money

This shows don't feel good to walk in like others have said. There is no support in the arch area at all. Do not recommend.

I returned the Teva

I bought this thinking they would be the most comfortable shows i owned. Sadly thet are trully uncomfortable, my feet hurt so much after using them

Unfortunately, no matter how much I adjust the straps, my foot inevitably slips off the back of the shoe. This creates a large space in front of my toes making the sandals look weird and easy to trip up on.

Like the look and feel but they're already coming apart after a month of moderate city use. Occurring on the left sandal at the end near middle toe.

No arch support leads to pain in toes and feet. Decorative but useless.

I have worn Tevas during the summer months for years. However, the sole of this shoe is extremely thin and floppy. The front part of the sole easily bends under when walking. I have almost fallen a few times because the sole bends under and pitches me forward.

You sent the wrong size. Not happy especially for the price and how how long it took me to get shoes. Not paying postage to send them back. Wouldn't recommend to anyone else

Only buy in person. Getting shipped what you want is impossible

They feel small and cheaply made. Not happy with my purchase

I could not imagine a worse shoe. I bought a pair of these shoes for my trip to hawai'i to visit my sister. I love hiking and saw these shoes were good for light hiking, beach adventure or just walking the town. They were also so trendy among my friends. Never have I ever regretted a shoe so much. For one they run big. I sized down. Then I got to hawai'i and I could not walk without the sole folding in on itself. I fell many times because of the shoe. Beach adventure, sand gets in-between the straps and rubs to give you nightmare blisters. Hiking, we went to several different places, one was paved (diamond head) shoe kept folding itself and was wide and rubbed in all the wrong ways. I cannot express how UN-PRACTICAL this shoe is. Stupid expensive shoe, I feel like I lost money because I ditched them.

I am absolutely disgusted by the terrible quality of these shoes. I rarely allow myself the luxury of buying new shoes, and I was so excited about these sandals. I had tevas in college, and remember them being sturdy, comfortable, and great for any adventure. The quality has gone so downhill! They are TRASH. These shoes began falling apart two months after I bought them. If this is what I can expect from Teva- I will NEVER buy this brand again.

I don't like the puffy fabric on the edges of the bands. You cant see it in the picture but when the shoes arrive you can see it. Style looks like a little girls shoe.

Not what I was expecting. I have Teva walking sandals that I purchased a couple of years ago with the same solar design as one of the new pairs I recently purchased (online) and I expected these to be the same quality, but I was completely disappointed. The new sandals are cute, but nowhere near the high quality of my original sandals and, unlike my original pair, have little arch support. I bought two pairs because I love my original sandals, but I won't be able to use them for my daily walks as planned because they're just not sturdy enough.

I ordered this to replace some similar TEVA's I have had for years and use as slippers around the house. But the new version has absolutely no arch support. Its an expensive flipflop with straps.

I am wondering when I may receive a refund as I returned the sandals, as although "they were called original" they were not like my "original" two previous pairs".
