Customer Reviews Teva Terra Fi 5 Universal

I use my Teva sandals as everyday walking shoes. I like the fit and that they are lightweight. It's like being barefoot but with a protective sole.

Loved this product have worn them constantly this past year. Have hiked ,walked, swam in them. The only complaint I have is the bottoms fell apart on me and the arch supports fell out from the bottom. Besides that I would buy these shoes again. Just wish they lasted a little longer considering I loved them.

I love almost everything about this sandal! Super comfortable with good support and decent grip. Good hiking and everyday sandal. Slightly large fit but not too bad. The only downside is the time in which the ankle pads/supports take to dry. Same with the comfort padded straps, I ended up with 4 blisters per foot after walking along Lake Superior in the water for about two minutes, then hiking for about an hour and a half after. the bed of the sandal dried fairly quickly and felt good the whole time. The only improvement is finding a faster dry material that won't chafe the skin when wet for an extended period of time.

Casual wear everyday. Very comfortable compared to cheaper models. The front ankle strap could be a little longer for people like me with high arches.

I'm very happy with this sandal, but it took a bit of trial and error to get the correct size. I first ordered this sandal in a 9, as being an 8.5 shoe, I was instructed by customer service to order to the next size up. This certainly made sense. When I received the 9, it was WAY too big, I'm talking an inch plus of extra sole at toe and heel. I returned and ordered on 8, perfect. I have had sizing issues in the opposite direction with the Strata Universal, another model I tried. I figured I would stick to an 8, after the sizing issues with the Terra F!. That proved a mistake, because the Strata is WAY too small! So beware of sizing discrepancies with Teva, and try on if possible (though impossible in certain areas). Otherwise, this sandal is very comfortable, and offers the arch support I was looking for. The only drawback was tabs on the end of the strap starting separating from the webbing almost immediately, It doesn't inhibit function, but is definitely quality issue.

Will use for everyday use.

I had to replace my first pair. My only issue: my puppy thought they were delicious. This model offers fit and support for my extra wide feet. Please keep making them; I'll need a new pair in 4 or 5 years.

As with all Teva sandals, it takes a couple days of wearing and adjusting of straps to find that sweet spot, but once you do these sandals are fantastic. The footbed is very comfortable, with an athletic sneaker-type feel. Pricey, so i'll wait to see how they last to decide whether I'd purchase again.

It is a bummer that these are not available in half sizes. Being able to get sandals that fit me really well (I need a half size) was what drew me to Teva in the first place. I purchased the whole size above and below the normal half size that I wear, and had to return both. Instead, I kept a pair of Minams that were available in my half size. Teva, please bring back half sizes. I would rather have half sizes and fewer colors/models to choose from than just whole sizes.

The sandal arrived quickly and i've worn it many times since then. Long walks on various pavements (5-10 miles), short distance comfort strolls for errands (less than a mile), hiking moderate trails that include mud, water, brush, wooden planks for 4 hours, and lounging at the beach! I got a blister on the inner side of my right heel for a week, but I changed the strap settings and it's been perfect ever since. I feel like i've been walking comfortably on any terrain and i'm very happy with the sandal.

front strap around ankles could be about inch longer

I've enjoyed my first pair! Comfortable, light, well constructed. A little more arch support would be perfect - could feel it into the 3rd hour of a walk!

Great sandals for in and out or the water. Easy to adjust. I would recommend softening sharp edges--painful in building callous. Also, would be nice to flip the velcro so the loop part was not so able to grab grass, seeds and dog hair

I bought the terra fi 5's, but my favorite are my old terra fi 2's.

Fits well for the size, pretty confortable, the sole is soft flex with plenty of grip, even in wet/water conditions. Takes a couple of days to break in, but after that are perfect.

This is probably my 1000th pair of TEVAs, I've been using them since 1993! I love them so much! These Terra Fi's are the most comfortable pair I've owned, with a nice cushion to them! I bought size 12 for the width. 11s fit me perfectly lengthwise, but they are too narrow for me. 12s are a little long, but the width is perfect. The only thing that keeps them from being 5-star, is they took the spider logo off of the sole! I don't know why that bothers me, but I always loved that detail in the past, and now my spider friend is gone! Get these, you won't regret it. Maybe they'll bring back the spider next year.

i ordered a size 9 initially and it was too long. then ordered a size 8 and the length was beeter but the instep was off and it was uncomfortable. i have worn the terra fi5 for decades but being older i need a different sandal now. this is a great active sandal for a younger man. returned the 8 also.

I live in them. I live in the desert so they are my daily shoes. I even play golf in them
