Customer Reviews Teva Terra Fi 5 Universal

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.

I love the design. The shoe has really nice padding and the footbed is supple but provides good support.

The advantages of the cross straps being completely adjustable is key for me! With RA there are days I need the shoe to barely touch my joints . On those good days when I am out walking I appreciate the adjustable straps and the great arch support.

Love these shoes, my 8 yr old Teva's had to be replaced and wasn't sure if i could wear these.

I really wanted these to work for me. The sun and moon motif is super cute but the style just isn't for me. I have to tighten all the straps a lot in order to keep my foot from sliding forward and that makes them uncomfortable especially around the toes. The arch support was good though.

Clunky. So clunky. Didn’t fit to my feet the way Teva normally does. Felt so heavy. I bought them for summer walks with my dog. I won’t be wearing them again next summer.

These did not work for my feet. I have two pairs of Teva Tirras that I love and can walk miles in with no discomfort. I was hoping these would be the same, but the insole was actually too cushioned. The arch area is so soft that it compressed with wear and didn't provide the support I was looking for. The Tirras have some cushioning but are a little firmer, and the arch does not compress as much. The olive color looked great, though, and they seemed to be well made. If you like a lot of cushioning, these may be for you.
