Customer Reviews Teva Strata Universal

As a woman who has bought men's size 8 for years in order to get a more supportive sole, the size 8 with this order was too short. I exchanged it for a size 9 (no half sizes) and the length was fine. The ankle straps, however, are so broad and stiff that I could not comfortably wear them. Back to the drawing board.

I love the comfort of this sandal, I'm on my fourth pair and use them just about everyday for a 3 to 5 mile walk. The Velcro seemings to start bursting it's stitches after a year but that's also the time I feel the arch support declining and buy a new pair.

I just received these sandals as a Valentines Day present from my wonderful wife. Out of the box it looked a little small, and when i tried them on my foot totally filled the shoe from front to back. I love the look and feel of these sandals but I should have asked for 13 instead of 12. I have worn Tevas for many years and this is the first time they were too small.

I bought and wore for years in Africa a premium pair of Treva sandals. They were great. My latest purchase does not compare to the old pair. The old pair were much more comfortable..

Hard to break in. Leather is very hard.

For everything , hiking (with socks) and every day. Stretch for water shoes.

A nice sandle, but IMO not as good as the model I replaced (F27116K). The previous model had an insole that was better moulded and better fit my foot. The thickness of the sole is also less and I feel stones, etc. more than before. Build quality is still very good.

comfortable

would be better with a clip tie for easier on/off access. Only a limited number of Teva's have option

This is a great shoe/sandal. I purchased these for my cross country trip so that i could have a sandal shoe that is easily manageable to take off and put on. Also, that I could hike up a mountain and go through a stream. Well I did all of that in this sandal. I hiked many miles in the sandal and went through many streams. They dried quickly when wet and gripped the trails very well. I wore them the entire trip and did not wear a different shoe (except my feet when sleeping). I would say best overall sandal I have ever had. The only suggestion is to make the straps have more velcro so that people with narrower feet can get a good strap down with the straps. Overall great sandal!!!

You need to have 10.5. This one is "ok" at 10, but slightly larger would be better. Heel thickness is great. I wish you had the leather f5 again.

I use them all the time including hiking and backpacking, in the water (though I don't try to do that).

The first thing I noticed was that the sandals seemed short. Having ordered multiple payof TEVA Sandals in a size 12, I compared them and the size 12 of this new model is definitely at least 1/2 inch shorter which unfortunately outmuscled toes at the very edge. Why would TEVA not keep a size 12 the same length? So, I was leaving on a trip, and decided to just try to deal with it; but the length is absolutely shorter than it should be. It would be nice if TEVA would send me a 12.5.

The company needs to make a model with fastex buckles at the ankle as in the past.

has Fraying issue around the edges of the straps that did not happen on my Terra Fi's. whether I would buy them again is completely dependent on how long they last. for example my Terra Fi Universals generaly last a year of heave use.

Not that anyone gets Tevas to look fashionable but these (Turkish Coffee) are the epitome of old man sandals. I just need to wear a golf polo, khaki shorts, and white socks to make the outfit. I have been wearing tevas for near on 25 years so maybe I'm ready for old man status though. I'm sending these back! Lol!

I had these sandals for just under 2 years and they have become my favorite sandals ever. Extremely comfy, and capable on all kinds of terrain....until the rear strap snapped off. Might be fine if you only wear them occasionally but I'd really question the durability of these if you are in hot climates and wear sandals everyday.

these are great sandals. I hate to return them. problem is too much arch support for me.

This sandals squeak loudly when walking on tile floors.

I've been wearing Teva since the 80s. Decided to make the upgrade to he vibram soles version. I ordered through Tevs. I'm a 9/9.5 size. You only had 9s. The 9 was way too small and narrow. I exchanged them for 10s and they were small and narrow also. I exchanged those for 9.5 Terra Fi 5 hiking sandal. They should fit. I've had those sandals before.

Teva is not the company or the products they used to me
