Customer Reviews Teva Terra Fi 5 Universal Leather

If you like the Langdon sandal, then you will definitely not like the Terra F1. Whereas the Langdon has only three(3) transition points between connectors/fabrics on the inside of the sandal, the Terra F1 has ten(10). The footbed of the Terra is also sculpted and less comfortable than the Langdon. Overall, I would say the Tera F1 was over engineered to the extreme and everything you love about the Langdon you will dislike about the Terra F1.

Outsole worn through on both heels after just over three months use. Materials clearly not fit for purpose.

Outsole worn through on both heels after just over three months wear! Sole materials not fit for purpose. Have been Teva customer since inception.

Love the Universal non leatherfor sailing offshorebut at 20 degrees of heelthe leather.. moves and when wet.. major problem.. After thousand of miles in the standard Universal never a problem Leather maybe good for just walking only.. on back to the Universal ..locks in my foot for safety. not Leather.

I have worn Teva sandals for decades for routine day-to-day wear as long as there is not snow on the ground and as my footwear of choice for river running. While trying to secure my raft on the Salmon River a couple of weeks ago the strap that secures the ankle strap to the sole detached from the sole. I was fortunate to not suffer significant injury as I was moving on the rocky shore. But it gets worse. I've tried for two days to submit a warranty claim for these sandals that failed less than six months after they were purchased. The warranty web page is non-sensical, asking in the shipping information the same info that is entered initially. I then hit the submit button and get a page with two words: block response. Even worse is the poor customer service. A phone call was of no help. The chat option is a waste of time, trying its best to stop customers from communicating with a real person. Once a real person is reached, no viable help is provided (as for the phone call). This pair of Tevas is going into the trash and it will be the last purchase I make from Teva after being a customer for decades.

Older Teva models fit fine, no rubs. This new Teva now has an exposed strap coonetion traingle that rubs again the inner arch and outside of foot.

Lightly used for a year and then when hiking the next. Nothing crazy, just a little hilly terrain along a river and both front and back straps broke on one sandal halfway through. Had to go a mile back barefoot on account.

My feet are torn up from these. Definitely not the same. They no longer make this in womens, so I replaced mine with men's, and they fit me fine, or so I thought, but both my big toes are rubbed raw underneath. Is this really leather??? Where the strap rubs my ankle I am all torn up also. Did a chat with Teva, sent Nikki pics, and she said the "warehouse" won't refund worn shoes. Despite what they did to my feet. I've had them one month. Just lost a lifelong customer Teva.

The front toe strap failed under normal ware just outside of warranty date. This is clearly a defect in the materials used, the material disintigrated. The suede footbed also peeled up and tore.

I bought these sandals while vacationing in the Outer Banks, NC. They were a little expensive but I thought that I would treat myself. I figured since they were Teva that they would last me a long time. I was wrong. The straps just came right out from the base, fell right apart. I bought a cheap pair of $10 sandals on the Wildwood, NJ board walk years ago that lasted me 12 years. These Teva ones suck. I will never buy a single Teva product again. Poor product.

I chose these based on other reviews. I decided to spend the extra money to get the highest priced item and hopefully enjoy them for at least a decade. I can't say that will be the case. I'm considering returning them. I don't believe the leather insole is going to last and will be problematic in adverse weather.
