Customer Reviews Teva Terra Fi 5 Universal

I like these Teva's much better than the less expensive ones. All the straps are cushioned. On these,the Velcro is mostly covered with the straps. It’s difficult to explain but on the less expensive ones much of the Velcro was exposed which messes up the slacks. I’m very pleased with these. I ordered the other color. I noticed they are a tad larger than the others,but not enough to make that much difference.

Haven’t worn them much yet, but hopefully they will hold up better than the last Tevas that I paid more than $100. for! They were great until the sole peeled off after the 3rd wear!

These did not work for my feet. I have two pairs of Teva Tirras that I LOVE and can walk for miles in with no complaints, but where the Tirras provide a slight heel lift and moderately firm arch support, these had a deep heel cup and the arch support - like the rest of the sandal - was heavily cushioned, so it compressed and became less effective for me. By way of reference, I use superfeet green inserts in my sneakers and wear a lot of Danskos. Still gave these 4 stars because it's more me than the shoe - they appear very well made, loved the green color and if you prioritize cushioning these may be for you.

Sadly I had to return them. I ordered these sandals to replace a similar pair that were favorites for many years. In most respects, they were great. The length was good and the sole was sturdy . I liked the color. But the width of the strap across the toe area was really long. My narrow feet require fastening it at maximum tightness with the velcro. The cloth end of the strap hung longer and touched the ground.

My only complaint is that they are heavy.

Really nice love the many adjustable areas After a few weeks of use, one of the straps came unstitched :( can't wear the shoe at all

I sadly had to replace a beloved old pair of Merrell sandals and they did not have anything I liked this year so I decided to try several pair of Teva sandals and chose this pair because 1) the neutral color works for me, 2) the traction is very good, and 3) there is some cushion to prevent strap discomfort. They're not ideal, but I needed to get some sandals to wear now that summer is coming. I tend to be easy on my shoes so here's hoping I don't experience any of the 'falling apart' issues that I read about in a number of reviews. Cheers !

I am giving it five stars for comfort even though I am returning the shoes. I have joint pain so needed something with more give -- otherwise these are very, very comfortable. Padded straps and no need to wear anything in. I cannot say they are the most flattering shoe, even though your foot stays secure in the middle, they are very wide on the sides. That said, not sure why a pair of Teva sandals need to be super stylish....I only wore them around the house but these would have been a win for me five years ago before my medical issues.

Style & Stability: I LOVE these Teva Terra 5i 5 Universals with "Sun and Moon Motif." They are so cool looking and are my everyday go-to shoe to walk my dogs in morning and evening. I use to feel like I needed socks and trainers for a stable, comfortable walk, but its hot in Florida! These are perfect for the sun and waterproof for rainy days. I have never slipped in wet weather, I walk fast and sometimes through muck. They are extremely comfortable even when I experience the pain of plantar fasciitis some mornings. Size - I measure 8.5 and wide. Most of the time, I actually size up to a 9.5 or 10 in regular width and that works okay (I wear sandals and trainers/sneakers the most). With Teva Terra I wear a 9 and the width is perfect, so I feel that these probably run a pinch wider. However these also have 3 different adjustment straps which may be why I am able to get a great fit. Strap Durability: I'm just now reading more about this shoe as I'm writing review and see that straps are made of vegan recycled material (awesome!). The ONLY complaint I have (but keeping them because I love them), is that the end and sides of the toe straps began to fray. I've only had them a few months but do wear them a lot. There was no way I was going to keep me from wearing these shoes. So, I easily fixed this issue by trimming the fray and treating all edges with "Dritz Fray Check Liquid Seam Sealant" ($2.50) sold almost everywhere. They look back to perfect now. I did take it a step further and sewed a simple zig zag stitch around the edges, but probably not necessary. Listen, if I did not love these shoes so much, I would have just sent them back. They are the hard to find perfect shoe for my widish, hard working feet.

I work at a garden center on gravel or cement all day and wet feet on and off as I water plants. The cushioning pieces under the straps are perfect to make these awesome out of the box…no worries about spots rubbing to cause blisters. dry fast. adjustable everywhere so you get the perfect fit for your foot. I wear an 8 tennis shoe and ordered and 7 and it fit perfect.
