These are at least a whole size too big, and my son says they feel like he is wearing "cheap flip flops". Not comfortable for him.

The front buckle was in an awkward spot. It dug into my pinkie toe. At first I thought maybe I had to break them in, so I kept wearing them. After 4 days I almost couldn't walk an inch in them. In fact, I'd like to send them back for a refund. I've worn tea flip flops for years and love them, so I was originally excited about the universals. Apparently they are not designed for universal fitting of all foot shapes.

Slippery when wet. Without arch support.

I purchased them because I work at a summer camp requiring that we wear sandals with a back strap. They are truly much too wide and I would have to cut the velcrow down a few inches for them to get close to fitting. I'm pretty disappointed with the low quality of the bottom of the sandal. I tripped once while wearing them
and now the toe of the shoe is all scratched up.

Bought my first Teva's nine years ago, and have worn them every summer since. Well, finally they wore out, and I decided to get some more.
I am VERY disappointed with the new pair. The quality of the product is very poor...it feels as though I bought a knock-off, cheaper quality pair of Teva's. Only thing is...they were NOT cheap!

I use this product every day to walk around outside, as part of my work uniform. It took less than three weeks for the sole to start detaching from the shoe. The triangular holder on the straps makes it very uncomfortable, and chafes very easily. The strap that goes across the toe line always causes my big toes to hurt or lose feeling, and the shoe is simply uncomfortable. The worst part for me, is that my job requires that I am often around water, and these sandals have no traction. I wanted these shoes to work out and be comfortable, but they hurt more and more every time I put them on.

I would have loved these shoes if they hadn't cheaped out and not made the straps too short. There is barely enough straps to get to the Velcro part. Your foot would have to incredibly flat for these to fit right. The pictures on their website show the strap covering your foot completely but in truth it barely covers and my feet are small.

The overall product quality was much lower than I expected, given the price. The sole felt very flimsy and offered no arch support at all. It felt like I was wearing a pair of flip flops with buckle straps.

The sandals you sent are sleazy and unwearable, and are most definitely NOT the original Teva sandals. The original Teva sandals and shoes were well-made sport/water shoes and sandals designed to provide safety and comfort in water sports. My most current sandals, which I had hoped to replace with a comparable pair, have heel cups, arch support, adjustable heel straps, and a serious sole.
I wonder if you are a counterfeit imposter - what you sent me bears virtually no relationship to the many previous Teva sandals I've loved in the past.

Being a Teva warer for years I was very supprized to find this shoe was a Teva. It was cheaply made, had no arch support and did not look like it would last in the water. I sent it back.

The sole lacks traction and substance. My son is disappointed. He thinks the sandals will wear out in a month with his activities.

Unfortunately, I will be returning this product. I have extremely narrow, flat feet, and that impacted the fit. To tighten the toe part enough, the velcro would be touching the ground. The ankle part rubs against my ankle bone.
This is likey a great shoe for a more normal fit, but does not work for mine.

I wear sandals in the warm weather contantly to go to the store , out to eat, and to do light work on my property. These sandals are painful to wear and I am disappointed in Teva for putting such a product up for sale, since Teva was the fist sandal that I ever bought soe 20 years ago. i would by the morerugged Teva if there was a discount for giving my feed back.

They're cute but they don't fit like the other tevas I own so I'm going to have to return them. Also I accidentally ordered two pair and immidiately contacted customer service to ask to cancel/change the order and they said I just had to wait until I recieved them and return them. An all around disappointment, especially considering I love their sandals.

I have worn Teva sandals for 20 years or so, and love them. This is the first pair that I would not recommend...unless you like to have sharp points digging into the soles of your feet. These are cute, but are so uncomfortable that I returned them. I'll stick to my smooth insole Teva sandals, thank you very much. If these sandals had a smooth insole, I would live in them!

Honestly I was very excited to receive these in the mail today, but the minute I tried them on, I knew I could never wear them! My ankles are a medium size, and still the strap could not go all the way around them without cutting off my circulation or not even reaching to the velcro. These shoes need to help out large-footed ladies! You need to either have one of those clips that provide extra length or less length for all sizes, or provide more velcro for other fits that just one.

Had a pair of these from years ago that must have been much higher in quality. The little plastic triangles on the strap that rub on my little toe rubbed said toe raw after a very brief period of walking.

Sandals were great except the triangular piece of plastic connecting the three straps rubbed against the side of the foot and made walking painful.

NOT the same. Less cushioning, less comfort. The textured footbed was almost sharp, with hard abrasive little bumps instead of soft rubber. One more thing that's been revived only to be killed by poor craftsmanship.
