Customer Reviews Teva Original Universal - Urban

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

Every time I wear them I have to put bandaids on the inside of my feet where the toe strap sots because it rubs so bad I get blisters. And then old blisters that are almost entirely healed then re-open

I used my prior Teva's for everything from hiking, beach and casual. They were tough and handled any situation. The "new" Teva's sole is not nearly as substantial as my old ones. The old ones had tough double soles with great tread and traction. The NEW Teva's have rubber foam soles and are not nearly as tough.

Footbed isn't very comfortable. Not as good of quality I was expecting

I am happy with the appearance, fit, and comfort of the soles of these sandals, but the plastic triangle piece hits a spot on my foot that hurts at times when walking. It's not constant, so I'm going to keep them. I've adjusted the straps, but regardless of position it still does this occasionally. I have a pair of Hurricane XLT's in the same size that I love and they have this same construction with this piece also, but they don't hurt at all. On a side note, I typically wear a 7.5 - 8 in most shoes, but a 7 in Teva sandals fit me perfectly.

Not the amazing shoe I expected. They feel flimsy and both my pair (size 9 & my friends size 7) and very different tighter fit on the right shoe

It's my first purchase. The shoes feel flimsy and don't fit the same right foot to left foot on both my pair and my friends I bought on sale as a gift.

super comfy and holds my feet really well! The soles were soft, which I liked, and I didn't stub my toes. I wore it daily for a week for outdoor summer work (like I do my chacos) and they are now soo smelly! I will wash them and try to combat the smell but I was hoping for a comfy everyday outdoor work shoe and it's not quite the right level of zero-maintenance.

As much as I wanted to love this pair of shoes, my foot always slides to the back of the shoe after walking a few steps. I've tried adjusting the straps tighter, but my foot still moves. The quality is good as well as the print.
