I bought this same pair of tevas in the 90's and loved them. When I could no longer find them in the stores, I switched to Chacos. So glad I found them again!

Love this sandal. Looks amazing with jeans, shorts or a skirt. Really like thinner sole - looks more stylish. Color is exactly as shown online. Thinking of buying another pair for the summer!

I wanted to get something I can wear in and out of the beaches in Hawaii that didn't look too "water shoes-like," and these were it! Comfy, cute, and not bad around the ankles like other reviewers said. (I don't have big ankles) I also walked around in them for a long time and didn't have any discomfort at all. Only problem I had was choosing a color. Got the sea fog. =)

These feel wonderful on my feet. I bought these to wear canoeing in the lake by my friends house. My feet are a tiny bit on the wide side, and they fit great. I also have wider than normal ankles, and the strap around my ankle fits well.

This is my most comfy pair of flip flops and I own a lot since I live somewhere where triple digit summer days are common. (I guess you could call them a flip flop even though they have an ankle strap, right?) The textured foot bed feels great on the bottom of my feet and the fabric upper is nice and soft and doesn't rub. I have flat feet so even though there is no arch support I can wear these all day and not feel leg or back pain. That's why I gave them 5 stars all around. However, if you have high arches, this probably isn't the shoe for you.

These are very comfortable! I usually wear 6.5 or 7 and I decided for size 7 and it fits perfectly, my feet are not wide though. These sandals don't look bulky or masculine like others do . These are perfect for a day on the beach. I recommend them.

My last pair of Tevas are ANCIENT, decided to finally replace them. Ordered these, I wear a 10/10.5 and the 10 fit perfectly. I have a rather wide ankle, so I was nervous after reading other reviews that they might not fit around mine with the velcro closure, but no trouble at all, they fit great. Keepers!

I just ordered these to replace my very, very old ones. I was floored years ago when they discontinued this original style. What were you guys thinking ??? And what took you soooo long to bring them back?? I had my old ones re-soled twice!!
Just love having my pinkies free in the wind & water without losing my footing on slippery rocks or any surface for that matter. I am just praying that the new ones are as good as the 'original'.

My new favorite sandals! Extremely comfy right out of the box, and the strap between the toes is soft and doesn't rub or cause blisters even after walking many, many miles throughout the course of the day. I did buy one size down based on the advice of other reviews, and they fit perfectly. I will mention that I have pretty slim ankles and these sandals are comfortably snug on me around the ankles. The ankle straps are adjustable but due to the design, I can see how this might be a problem for someone with thicker ankles!

Slight discomfort with back strap rubbing and stiffness. Rotating and wetting of the straps helped alleviate this and now fit super comfortably! Always wear a size 6.5, but the 6 fits, probably better than going up to a 7. Cushioning is nice.

Love these shoes! They are so comfortable. My only comment would be to not put the little piece of Velcro on the strap at the inside of foot. Without it, you can slide the back strap to be most comfortable for you and then the back Velcro is perfect too! So other than having a little piece of Velcro showing by my ankle, these are amazing!

I just got these today and they are darling! Fit true to size and already have compliments. I wear a 7 and did not go up in size and they are perfect. Thanks for great service as usual!

I was able to order a full size down. Good sandals for wet or dry, sand or sidewalk, rain or shine. The velcro back strap keeps the sandal securely on the foot, even in slippery conditions, and the nylon dries quickly. They're very easy to take on and off, and the simple style looks less clunky than other athletic sandals. There was no break-in time and the footbed is very comfortable. I do wish the back strap were a little longer.

Despite the other reviewers, I don't think these run big. However, they do run a little wide and do have a roomier toe box than most Tevas. So that may give the impression that they run large. I have a slightly wide foot and long toes, so this fits perfectly. Most comfortable Tevas I've ever had!

I shouldn't be surprised to like these better than the Original Universal (I've always preferred toe and ankle straps and these fit the bill), but I am. I really hated the look of these on the website, but then I saw how they looked in real life on the employee's Teva 365 blog. It sold me. Hopefully they keep being made...forever.

I bought these sandals in 1984 in red. I looked for them in the 90's not so much luck...they don't make them anymore. Got an email from you, low & behold THEY DID MAKE THEM AGAIN!!
Thank you!

I think they are very cute and can be dressed different my depending on ur mood. Sometimes the piece that goes between ur big toe and the rest of your toes can get uncomfortable. You just have to break them in. Other that that they are comfortable.

I love these sandals. I had to buy a second pair because I somehow lost one of my first. I can't give 5 stars for 2 reasons.
1. The front straps are so long and don't adjust. I do not have thick feet and they flop a bit much.
2. For some reason black is the only colour option now. My first pair were orange and purple. There are so many options for the other style; why not this?

I am usually a solid size 7.5 in most shoes. After reading about the sizing of the original sandal, the suggestion was to go with a size 7, so I did. I thought it was fine until walking along the river and my foot kept slipping out the back. I had already worn the shoes so could not return. So I ordered a size 8 and think those will be perfect. I would suggest sizing up if you are an in between size like me.
