Customer Reviews Teva Original Universal - Urban

I really want to love them, after 15 days in Hawaii they are coming apart on the sole. :(

Returned because the arches were very high. May have compacted to fit my foot with time but initially didn't feel right.

I REALLY wish the heel strap was adjustable!!! That's my biggest critique. One shoe came with longer straps than the other, but I don't really mind that. I also really wish the toe strap was moved up about a centimeter, but that's just me. I was impressed with how much more durable the bottom sole feels than it looks in the pictures. I was glad they offer some smaller sizes with fun patterns as well.

The buckle next to the pinky toe is in a really bad position. It rubs against my toe and irritates it. I wish I were in a different location because otherwise the shoes are comfortable and great for the outdoors

Very comfortable sandal. Unfortunately the sole has come off on the last 2 pairs. I used gorilla glue and it worked for a while. I will try again but probable will buy a new pair.

Wanted to love these, but they're not a fit. I'm normally a 6.5, I bought a 6. First, they are way too long in the toe bed, leaving a good inch above my toes (which you can see is the case for most if you look at photos). They're not only too long despite sizing down, but also too narrow for my wide feet. Being Teva sandals, you would think they would be comfy for a wider foot, but not the case. They squish my pinky toe like crazy, it's painful. I kept them for a trip out of necessity, otherwise I would have 100% returned.

Previous Tera sandals had a thicker sole; this one is thin and hard. Not as comfortable as my other Tera sandals of the same model.

I've been wearing flip flops since forever (and I'm only 18) and really only wear shoes when I absolutely need to (like when closed toed shoes are required). My dad got me to try on these Tevas so I have something more secure on my feet for when I go biking or hiking, and I totally love them! I wish I had tried these on sooner. So supportive and comfy. Now they have replaced my flip flops as my go to everyday footwear. Love 'em!

I have another 3 year old pair that feel better, perhaps due to wear. The left front of the shoe seems a bit longer and I've tripped because of that on more than one occasion. Light and comfortable otherwise.

The backstrap slips down. I noticed this on the last pair I ordered also.

Not very comfy and conforming to foot but still good for paddleboarding/water sports. I'd struggle to hike in these.

I don't think these are actually a replica of the original river sandal, which I purchased many, many years ago. I purchased that sandal and appreciated its arch support. This newer version seems to have no arch support whatsoever with a very flat footbed. In addition, I've noticed among sandals and shoes in general that, as they get wider and wider and expect the straps or ties to make it fit for a narrow foot, even if they have "arch support", the shoe is too wide to provide me with any significant support. Hate that. Other than that, the sandal is fine - always liked Teva - but not sure if I would purchase again because I need a flexible arch support.

Wore these for an AZ trip. After a week I felt something odd and the rear sole on both pairs were not glued. I assume this was a fluke since I've had good luck before. Hopefully the quality isn't going down. I just super glued them and trucked on. Still comfortable.

They are ok and I'm still going to wear them. The strap lays in a place that rubs on my little toes, and overall the sandal is not as supportive as other Tevas I've gotten. I'm disappointed because they were my go-to sandal brand.

Ot half si,es so did not fit well

I do not believe it is a "great" product. Selling only full but no half sizes for this product results in having to buy something that is too large and uncomfortable to wear. I have wanted to buy these sandals for a long time but the expense deterred me. Having purchased this product that is not only uncomfortable to wear but a financial mistake is very upsetting.

It's comfortable but I feel like there is too much sole extending beyond the toes. Feels very clunky. If I had had time before a special event, I would have sent them back.

I use them for walking and going into parts of the river where the bottom is rocky on my feet. I'm Enjoying them but they're a little less substantial than expected for the price point. I know Teva makes a pair that is more like a Chaco but I was going for the lighter pair intentionally so I can throw them in my pack. just a bit worries that they're flimsy/won't last. Appreciate the variety of color/pattern options, I got sand dune and enjoying.

I've worn Tevas for years. I wear a 7.5 in nearly every shoe, but these are more like a 8. Maybe they'll wear down after I've warn them, but they catch on carpet.

My 9 year old's foot gets really sweaty and slips out very easily.

I wear my Tevas every day when it gets warm enough. My poor old ones are so slick on the bottom - so I opted for these. I prefer the leather sole. Anyhow - the left fits perfectly but the right heel strap was sewn too low and won't stay on the heel. I contacted Teva and they are going to exchange it for me.

Super cute but recommended sizing too large.

Comfortable sole but too big. I'm a size 8 1/2 to a 9. The nine was too big with the plastic rubbing against the bottom of my pinky toe. I also tripped two times because there was so much extra sole at the top of the shoe. I've worn Tevas for over twenty years but not this model before. I will order the size 8 instead.

I had a beautiful, red suede, cork bed pair of Tevas I tried to replace them this year without success. I purchased a pair recently which are more sporty. Why are the straps so long? They are going to fray because they drag on the ground. I am also having leg cramps. These are not nearly as supportive as my former pair. The quality just isn't there this time
