Customer Reviews Teva Original Universal Canyon

The shoe is great for style and is mostly comfortable. I don't have an arch in my feet but for those who do, this is not for you. You can tell they will wear out fast unfortunately.

I bought these shoes for a bikepacking trip through South America. I have had the shoes for a year now, and have worn them multiple days a week, every week for the last year. They were immediately comfortable and had a broken-in feeling coming straight out of the box, which I loved. They were durable and lasted the entire year, and likely would last much longer. The only problem with these shoes is they smell like rotten carcasses. I have never had a pair of shoes smell so bad in my whole life. I assume it's from the bacteria that lives in the fabric of the sandal, but oh my god is it bad, and I've tried multiple cleaners to try to lift the smell, but it just won't go away. I can't wear them at all in public anymore, sadly... And now I have this hilarious tan on my feet. Still worth the comfort and durability for nine months of intense physical activity, variety of climates and off the bike adventures. Chances are, you'll probably have to toss them out long before they ever wear out.

Everything's great except the straps are really long for my tiny ankles. Other than that, they're fun and comfortable to wear!

It fits just a bit too snugly even though I bought a size that's 1/2 a size larger than my shoes. While it is a good show, it's immediately obvious that these aren't the same shoes they made 10,15 years ago. I had a pair that lasted about 14 years before they finally broke down. These just don't feel as sturdy, heavy, dense as those. But, we'll see!

These are my first pair of Teva's and they're SO comfortable. The white pair get dirty really really really fast like by the 3rd wear they started lookin kinda gross but it's mostly on the inside not so much on the outside. I don't mind it though as I own a lot of white shoes and clean them all the time. I'm usually an 8.5 in shoes and the 8.5 in these fit but I felt like my toes looked like they were too far forward.

I like these, they're affordable, cute, and comfortable. That being said if you're looking for something for going on a hike or walk these aren't for you. They're very squeaky, and get pretty slippery. However for just casual wear or a day at the beach they're perfectly fine! Oh, also the fabric on top of the strap wears pretty fast, the frantic has gotten frayed and stringy after two weeks, and a couple of wears.

I fell in love with these sandals as soon as I put them on. Two weeks later and I've worn them every day.... I need to buy more! I love wearing them but I know they wont last with so much use. I can wear them allllll day and I feel great! Better than tennis even! Great for casual but absolutely no traction so don't take them hiking or even out when the ground is wet. Slipped on a metal grate already.

I really like these sandals. They are comfortable, offer great support for such a flat sandal, do well in water, and seem very durable. My only complaint is that I wish the back strap was adjustable. My foot slides back much more than I would like, and I wish I could tighten the back strap. If this one modification were made, they would be the perfect casual, summer sandal!

I bought this because I was looking for a minimal and yet secure (not floppy) sandal. There is a bit of cushioning, but it's not too much. I usually wear a 10.5 and ordered an 11, but it was a tad too big; the straps went a bit beyond the soles, and the sandals were a tad too long. If my feet got wet then the sandals would get quite loose and slide around! As long as I'm dry though, they're good and the size isn't a big issue. I also have been on the trails with these and would say that they do not have the greatest traction on smooth rocks, and rocks can get in (though getting them out isn't hard). Travelling with them is easy because I can strap them to my bag if I'm wearing shoes.

Sandal broke at the toe strap. Loved to wear these sandals but very disappointed that I did not get the lasting quality I usually get from TEVA. Customers service is sending me and exchange label though and if I get another pair I will be satisfied.

These are the most fun and comfortable shoes!!

I love these shoes! Arch support is comfy (I have a low arch) and the color and design are really cute. I wish the yellow part was glittery or shiny though. I think it would make them even better.

I do enjoy these shoes for everyday wear. They are comfortable with a simple style. The only issue is that they have started squeaking whenever I walk. Hoping this goes away?

I used to wear these 20 something years ago and now they're back in style with my 14 year old. Glad they've changed the sole from just a flat surface to more of a molded foot bed. These are comfortable, lightweight, and affordable for a water/outdoor shoe.

Comfortably padded, and works well for when you need to get dogs out of the river.

I love these shoes! I've worn them about everyday since I got them. The only reason why I gave it four stars instead of five is if your feet sweat on a hot day (like any one would), the shoes tend to start squeaking (like rubbing rubber). Also, they can collect dirt and it can rub off on your feet, so make sure you at least wipe them down every once in a while

love everything about my Teva's except that they are a bit slippery against your foot when they get wet.

These are great for just wearing around during the day but they don't hold up as well as normal Tevas do during adventures. Took them into a river and they basically acted like flip flops where the front was folding underneath my foot as I walked. They also don't have as solid of a bottom as my other Tevas so you can feel more rocks when you're hiking. Overall I really like them they're just not a replacement for my more expensive Tevas.

These take a little time (maybe a week) to break in around the little toe, but once you do theyre pretty comfortable besides a little shifting. Not great for a difficult/uphill hike, but theyre nice for walking all day or everyday wear.

I use it for outdoor activities

I've always loved Tevas, I bought the chalk white basics and they're awesome; but the plastic toe strap piece rubbed me the wrong way (pun intended). Still love them and recommend them (for short distance endeavors).

My feet swell so sandals have always been an iffy buy. These are great and what's more they are comfortable.

I bought these sandals thinking they would compare to my chaco's that I adore everything about aside from the weight. My intention was buying a sandal that would be lighter and have a similar feel (solid platform, straps that allow my feet to be free yet keep them on the shoe, capable of doing up to class 3 scrambles/hikes/approaches) but I'm now thinking I purchased the wrong model for what I need. The shoes themselves are fine. Solid construction, nice color and RIDICULOUSLY light. Like really, I hardly feel these things on my feet! So that is definitely my favorite part. However, I would essentially call these flip-flops with slightly better straps. So far, riding my bike, walking around town, and through my local park are just about as much adventure as I'd feel comfortable doing with these strapped on. Definitely no more than class 1 approaches. Slippery, don't keep your feet on the shoe solidly especially once you get sweaty, and the platform itself is so thin you can feel rocks and goatheads and thorns through them. Straight to the soul! -- ahem, I mean sole. If you're going to be headed for an easily accessible river, a straight-off-the-road crag, or simply want to walk around town without flossing your big toes with wretched flip-flops, these would be great! I'd be down to try the models that look a little more heavy duty, but for now, I'm going to cinch up my chaco's and head for the crag.

However they were comfortable but they turn my feet blue from the dye

I'm a size 10 foot. No doubt about it. I often clip the front of the sandal on the ground; and pull the Velcro beyond the sandals to sandals to make them fit. I would order down a size!
