Customer Reviews Teva Original Universal - Urban

Shoes are fairy comfortable but have no traction. I wore them for an easy hike and slipped and fell on wet boulders. Not safe for hiking in slick conditions. Not easy enough to slip on the make them ideal casual shoes for me. Probably best suited for the beach (not tidepools though). I'd love if the design was updated to have more (ANY) traction.

I guess I've always gotten a "better " type of TEVA so this type was disappointing when I received it. I was happier with the price on this style, which is why I got it, but it is not the Tevas I am used to.

These sandals are so cute and so comfy, but they squeak so much!! I've only worn them 4 times. They were not wet nor were my feet sweaty, so the squeak is not due to moisture. I think there's a design flaw and I'm so disappointed.

These are nice and light and I really wanted to keep them as I got them on sale. However, the toe strap rubbed my toes in the wrong place so I returned them.

I'm not sure if mine is defective, or if it's my foot, but the lateral aspect of the toe strap tends to rub uncomfortably when I wear it. I normally wear the tirras and absolutely love them, but wanted something a little more flexible to dress up and down, which is what this style does offer.

I am 90 years old with neuropathy. These would be fine for someone younger who does not need foot support. But l love TEVA, and have 3 other pair, all over 12 years old, that l am wearing out. Storied these.

I have a pair of 30-year old Teva river sandals, worn A LOT and the sole is separating but could probably be re-glued. I thought it would be nice to freshen up my Teva selection and order another. But I was surprised by the weight of this sandal--almost like a flip flop, it was so light. And the surface covered in tiny uncomfortable texturing. I sent them back.

Lacks arch support compared to all of the other TEVA sandals I have purchased. Also were loose on my feet and was not able to adjust them as I would like

I don't like them as much as my old leather Teva sandals. But they're basically fairly comfortable. My main objection is that the heel often drags on the sidewalk. I don't know why.

I really wish Teva had 1/2 sizes. The sandal is fairly comfortable, but my toes are right at the front edge of the sandal. I have purchased the next bigger size in Teva previously, but in that pair the sandal sticks out from my toes almost an inch, and I trip over the excess sometimes. The 1/2 size would likely be perfect. The straps are a little itchy, likely due to being made from recycled goods. The ring that holds the toe straps on one sandal tends to dig into my little toe while it is not an issue at all on the opposite sandal. The bumpiness of the footbed of the sandal becomes uncomfortable after walking around in them for a few hours. Teva used to make the most comfortable sandals ever and they were much higher quality than the last couple of pairs I have gotten. I have a pair of Teva that are probably 20-30 years old that I've been nursing along because they are still my most comfortable pair. It's sad that Teva has gone from making great sandals to offering a larger number of styles that aren't nearly as well made.

Bought these for my husband. Arrived really fast! But they are very thin. Too thin for my taste.

I love the feel of the original Teva and the designs. Unfortunately, the bottom is already peeling off from the foam and I've only owned them for four months. Pretty disappointing I bought some about eight years ago that held up for a lot longer.

I wore these for two weeks on vacation and the sole is already splitting away from the sandal. These are for fashion only.

I really like the slimmer profile on these being a woman, and they are not advertised as a heavy duty sandal, but they seem a little flimsy for what I expected. Note that the heel strap is not adjustable like their other styles. If you have narrow heels like me they will slip often. Will upgrade to a tougher sandal when I wear these out.

I love the look, but my feet don't like them Returning Sorry

I seem to remember the heel strap being more "stretchy" and you were able to slip on these sandles more easily once you adjusted the front and top strap.

I love its lightweight but the straps are cutting my skin.

The footbed is very hard and flat, and does not conform to my foot. Not very comfortable after walking on city pavement, resulting in leg pain that's lasted too long. I have an older pair of leather "dressier" Tevas that I can wear all day in great comfort. I thought these would be similar, but they aren't. They're fine for casual use, but not all-day wear. I'm ordering a different pair with thicker, molded bottoms.

I usually buy a size 14 for all my Teva footwear, but these seem to be smaller than my previous size 14 purchased.

These are great, sandals for walking around. I wish they were studier. The top flap gets caught on the ground often and wears away quickly. I like the style and more minimal foot bed of the original universal, but next time I'd go for the studier hurricane to last longer and in rougher environments (water, hiking, etc).

These are beautiful shoes. The foot bed is soft. The plastic fasteners for the straps are hard, and irritating. They hit the base of my toes and create a lot of friction. I'm keeping them but will not wear them for extended periods.

I love the colours, I love the fit but the sole is too smooth. If you are on dry grass they are lethal. Super smooth stones are bad news also, polished surfaces bad also.

These sandals look nice and are adequate, but not for out in the woods. Not very supportive and over-priced for what they are.

Don't hate them, don't love them
