The sandals are great, comfortable, and adorable. That's my first pair of Teva and I would recommend it 100%. One little thing is the straps especially on the pinky toe are harsh on the skin and a bit tight, like the placement of the straps could be wider. That causes pain, but if I tight it more around the ankle it seems to mostly resolve this problem.

I bought a pair of Teva's hoping they would fit my foot needs for the summer, but they hit right on my bunion. They are comfortable to wear otherwise. Have loved wearing them through the years.

These have been great for hanging out and especially for being in the water, but I expected them to be more comfortable. I definitely can't walk in them for hours like I can with Birkenstocks, but hopefully they'll get more comfy as I break them in!

I would buy the hurricane again rather than this style Although the sandals very comfortable it doesn't feel very secure or firm feeling in the toes and I have cut my toes on the edge of the sandal it feels like it would roll

I returned this pair of shoes after seeing the better (in my opinion) foot pad that the Teva Hurricane design has. It's a little more expensive, but is not just a flat pad, but has a better molded construction and better arch support. This is not to say that that the original universal design is a bad shoe, but after seeing the other design, I selected it. Both designs are well made.

Well, my feet are happier. Not in love with the style but happy feet are really what I need.

These shoes are exactly what I want in style, in comfort, in function...I just wish they had an adjustable heel strap; I feel like I can't adjust the size based on activity because while I can adjust the arch strap and the toe strap, neither of them impact how the sandal fits my foot front to back. It seems so obvious to have a heel strap, so I wonder why they don't, but it is the one drawback.

Waiting for the summer weather to take hold so that I can wear these all summer long. So far, I've worn them at home and they are very comfortable.

These shoes were super comfortable right out of the box. I love the moons and stars! They are light weight and seem sturdy enough for the kind of walking I will likely be doing in them. The only reason I didn't give that 5th star is that they don't really have arch support, which is something I find I need more as I get older. But in general, I love them!

These are great for just casually walking around, but not for hiking like they used to be. They are not as firm at the base, don't really protect your foot and allow your foot to slide side to side in them. Still very comfortable, but disappointed compared to the ones I had 15 years ago.

These shoes are super comfy and great to wear ! However I do have an older pair and the straps on these new ones rub against my feet and sometimes cause blisters ! That's the only down side otherwise they are perfection ! Wondering if they changed the material of the straps !

While I would purchase this again, the material for the sole feels more "plastic" than the older versions of the original had. Straps were right on and the Velcro's adjusted speedily

I like the minimalistic feel and look of the Teva. My foot likes the fresh air. My previous brand had a lot of rubber and nylon and while they were good for many activities, I didn't need that much any longer. I have worn these with socks and without around the house (it's winter) and I look forward to test-driving them on the trail in a couple of months. I gave 4 stars because I want to try them outside before really raving about these comfortable, simplistic sandals.

I ordered these instead of Chaco's because of the price difference. - The most negative thing that stood out to me was how the edges seemed like they were just cut out of a machine. (they still had little pieces of the material attached that came out with a rub. - the most positive thing is the price and designs.

Not suitable for northern climates. My toes were pretty chilly last night, but surprisingly a lot of arch support.

Tevas generally run large, and the Universal is no exception. I normally wear size 10 and I had to actually go down to 8 to find a pair that fit! That aside, the Universal is a great sandal. The classic Teva. I like how it looks and feels. While I would have preferred having an adjustable back strap, the Universal is otherwise well designed. Easy to get on and off, and very comfortable once worn in a little. However, the overall spongey feel makes it less than idea for any serious walking. (Check out the Universal Trail).
