Customer Reviews Teva Original Universal - Urban

It is great for wearing in a hot climate and I love having a sandal that is good for walking.

I love knowing that I can basically wear them in any element and they will be fine. I was kayaking the other day and water kept splashing into the kayak. I never had to worry about staining, ruining, or getting my shoes wet. I can't comment yet on how well they hold up on longer walks or hikes yet, because I have my exposed them to that. But so far so good!

I had a pair of Teva's years ago. These are not as robustly made. I was disappointed when I received them, but they will do well enough.

I love these sandals so much. I have always wanted a pair of Tevas so I set my eyes on these and got them. My only problem is I am an 8.5 and I got a 9. When I walk sometimes the top somehow scraps against the sidewalk and I almost trip since they are a little big. I have only had them for a week or so and the tops are completely scuffed up but I really love these shoes ),: I just wish they were a little cheaper if they can be so easily scraped up. Otherwise, they are so comfortable.

I use my Tevas' when going to the lake or beach or outdoor activities in general. I love the versatility and how it fits my lifestyle. Already looking for my next pair!

Heel needs longer velcro for additional adjustment. Owned this pair since 1986.

Strap over instep could be a bit longer. I have wide feet and attach Velcro for a wide foot. This leaves too much of the lower Velcro showing and the Inca print does not cover the exposed Velcro.

The Tevas are very comfortable for walking.

So look, I like these shoes because they are a very basic sandal that is not particularly eye-catching. That is exactly why I bought them. I love wearing sandals, and I found most of the sandals this year to be downright gaudy and didn't want to buy any of them. I am going to be straight with you: I grew up in the '90s and we used to make fun of Tevas all the time, so I was hesitant about getting these. I take back my words completely, they are a good, basic sandal. These are very versatile for both fashion and function. I can wear them with everything! And I'm not talkin jeans and t-shirt, I am a dress or skirt every day kind of girl, with some shorts and slacks peppered in once in a while. I definitely couldn't wear these anywhere fancy of course (besides the fact that I don't go to any fancy places), but all I'm saying is that they look good with a pretty dress OR hangin out clothes. Also they are really comfortable. The BEST PART is that I can wear them wading through streams or mud when I am walkin around in the woods, they protect my feet, clean up easy, and will dry out fast. I would not hike any serious inclines or distances with these on, though. Anyway, I have ONE gripe, which is that the sole fits my foot perfectly, but sometimes my foot slides back a lot. I dont know if this is an issue with the fit, or how I am walking, or how I am fastening them on though. Also, I got black but sometimes I wish I had gotten the grey or the pretty green color. Okay! This is how I feel about these shoes, review over!

too big, too flat and no support

I was SO excited to get my tevas and I am still so excited to have them. I worked as a camp counselor for a week in Phoenix AZ and wore them for at least 8-10 hours a day. I am not sure if maybe its because my feet were constantly sweaty or because I wore them all day, but the straps rubbed my feet and made some discomfort. I tried loosening them and taking a break from wearing them all the time, but I would love to hear some feedback from others if this happened to anyone. Is this maybe a break in feature and my feet have to get use to them? Overall I think they are so cute and offer much more support compared to just trendy sandals. I hope I can figure out the rubbing on my feet situation. However wearing them for that long all day really made them worth while to have, I love them! I also love that I can wear socks with them when it gets cold!

Love this sandal...very comfortable; almost as good as going barefoot! I wear it everywhere...work, play, walking, etc. The sizing information indicated that since my foot is an 8 and 1/2 I should order a size 9, however, I decided to chance it with a size 8 and I'm glad I did. It fits perfectly.

I use these tevas for work and play. I camp in them I can walk multiple miles in a day with them. They're great for walking out to check on animals in the morning in the wet grass! They are really comfy, my only con to these would be that they are little too wide for my definitely narrow foot.

Super comfortable and cute! I have fairly skinny feet, so the straps are too long and hang off more than I would like.

I love these sandals! They're super comfy and they stay in place on my feet. They're great for hiking and kayaking but also for just hanging out. They're easy to clean and you can wear them with socks when it's chilly. Love them!

Only downfall is your feet shed a lot of dead skin at first, when wearing them....So as long as the dead skin is off the bottom off your feet, you'll be okay!

Nice sandals. But the front strap hurts my foot, unlike other Teva sandals I have owned. It is placed a little higher on the foot. Unfortunately I sent it back.

I love my Tevas. I just got my first pair (in Eiffel Tower size 8) and they're awesome! a little tight and stiff but I can tell they'll get better. I wear a 38 in Birkenstocks and 8 in converse and these fit great. the toe area is kind of large like birks but the foot bed is soooooo comfy! I can't wait to wear them with socks. I only gave it 4 stars because they need breaking in.

My only criticism would be please make half sizes. Since I had to go up, I occasionally feel like the extra length will trip me up somewhere.

owned two before, just not happy you can't adjust the heel strap like the originals were

Really comfortable, the straps are not rough after the initial wear. Only problem I have is a slight blistering on the ball of my feet, but that stopped after I wore them a few times. And I worry how long the shoe will hold its shape and continue to be supportive.

I wish it had a better padding, sometimes it gets uncomfortable BUT it is not terrible. There's just room for improvement!

wore them for a three month backpacking trip across Europe. Perfect for walking and dressing up or down!

I bought these sandals right before my honeymoon because I knew we'd be walking around California a lot. These sandals are some of the most comfortable sandals I've ever owned. I like they they had them in black, because it goes with everything.

I use sandals around the water and boat. At my pool, sailboat, kayak, and dinghy. A real boat sole ie Sperry topsiders would be great.
