Customer Reviews Teva Original Universal - Urban

Great if you don't need much/any support l. I returned them and payed more for a little more arch support. I'm happy with my decision.

I was expecting these shoes to have much more support to them. They are essentially foam with straps so walking in them is not ideal. I think they work great for in water and swimming but not for much else. I won't return them because they do have some good qualities, but wish they were more functional for walking & hiking short distances.

While the product is similar to the original, I miss my original ones which had a much better made sole.

I bought a pair of Tevas from your website. Are used Apple Pay. We had just moved and I didn't realize I hadn't updated my address in Apple Pay yet. Your website never asked for an address and ship the shoes to my old house. I didn't receive a receipt or confirmation of sale for three days. In fact I thought you had stolen my money. If it wasn't for the person who bought my house calling me I would've never gotten the shoes. Multiple attempts to contact your customer service were unsuccessful. Your hours of operation are a joke.

I have a pair of 15 year old Tevas & it has wider straps and a real rubber non slick sole. My new Teva Sandals are slippery I don't see them being safe in the river like the original ones. I purchased the new pair for a replacement . I am disappointed

I grew up in a Teva family. We all had a pair as long as I can remember and we wore them everywhere. It's been about 15 years and I guess nostalgia drew me back to get another pair. I ordered the original universal sandal for women in an 8 (I usually wear 7.5). First thing I noticed is the base of the sandal isn't as sturdy as they used to be, but they're very squishy and lightweight. I think this makes them comfy for summer, but not durable. I also miss that the back heel strap used to be adjustable to get the perfect fit. Without adjustment, it's extremely difficult to get my foot to stay in the "perfect" spot which causes the front toe strap to rub the side of my foot/toe uncomfortably. Another missing element is the padding on the inside of the heel strap, but it's not a deal breaker. The straps overall don't seem as sturdy as they used to, but I think they'll hold up well enough. My biggest complaint besides no heel adjustment is that the straps are too long. For the sandals to hold my feet properly, I'd have about 1" of strap just hanging off the sandal. I'm keeping them because I paid expedited shipping, they're a beautiful color, and I'm hoping they'll break in. Pros: -Lightweight -Nice color options -Velcro makes many adjustment options -Sole flexes with foot Cons: -No heel strap adjustment -Straps are too long -Materials don't seem as durable as they did 15-20 years ago -Not the best value for the price

I have high arches and an entire day in them made my feet ache. Would be better if the back strap adjusted around the heel also. Very cute shoes but shipping was a nightmare. Took a week for them to even process my order. I think there's better options out there.

The sole on the left shoe split within two weeks of purchase. Teva was great about getting me a Free return label and dealing with the return.

Maybe I just have oddly shaped feet, but I couldn't make the velcro tight enough to hold the sandal on my foot snugly. Also, the overhang of the strap would drag on the floor. Oh well -- really cute shoe and color.

I recently purchased a pair of Original Universal and Hurricane XLT2 sandals and I have to say, I really like the Hurricanes much better. I like the cute pattern of the Original Universals, but I do not enjoy the rough surface of the foot bed. I am also not sold that they are worth the price point considering how thin they are as they just seem like a flip flop with a beefier strap on them. I find the Hurricanes to be significantly more comfortable and closer to being worth the value of their cost.

I have had them 2 days and the sole is coming off of the bottom of the shoe!

These shoes look a lot cheaper in person than they come off online. I'm willing to sacrifice looks for comfort but I wouldn't say these shoes are exceptionally comfortable. There's no half sizes with is inconvenient.

Since there are no half sizes, the next size up is too long, unfortunately.

I ordered my usual size 10 and they were so long, but the width was perfect. I exchanged them for a 9 which are perfect except they are narrow and my feet spill out a little, but not enough to cause pain. Plus they're super cute so that's a bonus :)

Buy a size up, runs small

I love the look of my shoes but they hurt at the front strap. I've tried tightening and loosening the straps and I can't get them to feel comfortable. Such a bummer!

I've had these less than 2 weeks, and I'm already worried about them falling apart. The stitching is coming out, and if you catch your foot on anything, the bottom bends under your foot. I fully expect them to just break that way. I bought a pair for myself and for my friend, and he is having the same experience.

I wasn't sure about these because the straps rubbed on my ankles when I first put them on but after wearing them for a day they felt better. I wish the straps were easy to clean like the rest of the shoe.

I dunno, teva should really edit their sizes because you're gonna have to buy a size down from your regular size. I bout a size 7 and they were too big. My mom who is 8 tried them on and they fit her perfectly.

Just received yesterday! Too large. I normally wear a 5 1/2 so ordered 6. Sending back.

I LOVE the colorful stripes!! I don't like the lack of support. I'm used to wearing the Hurricane...

I wanted these for causal summer bike riding. I got the 90s color block ones and they are really cute and the sizing seems true to size. I returned them bc the foot bed is too textured and made my feet feel funny.

These shoes are so cute. I highly recommend. However I can't wear them for long periods of time because they run and also my feet are always at the very back of the shoe when I walk, my heels practically falling off.

They were adorable and I wanted to keep them but the placement of the top strap to my toes was awkward so I had to send them back. The jury is still out on my overall opinion of TEVA though as I returned these sandals three weeks ago using their return shipping label and do not yet have Confirmation that they've received them. I am still waiting on my refund.

Very good shoe for light hiking and water trails. Can lose grip though on loose gravel. Obviously rocks will get in. If you are between sizes go down to the nearest size. For instance, if 9.5 go for 9.
