I finally found the hiking sandals I've been hoping for! I have very narrow and low volume feet, and most Tevas look like ping pong paddles on me. (The exception is the Teva Olowahu, the only flip flop that is narrow enough for me to wear.) I wanted a secure and supportive sandal, so I've been trying all the Tevas. Most of them have soles that are much wider than my foot, and the straps rub when I tighten them up. However, the Universal Trail has extra padding on the inside of the straps and they tighten up well on my narrow feet. As far as the style, they're cute for what they are, but they are definitely more of a hiking look than a delicate fashion statement. I got the blue-ish grey color, and I really like it. As another reviewer said, I do wish these came in a narrow width, because the straps are longer than they need to be for me. Overall, though, I'm happy with these.

Originally, I ordered the green Universal Trail Teva(s) in my size (8). Initially, I thought they were ok, but I ended up returning them, because they were too long which caused me to stub the front toe of the sandal and "trip-skip" to catch myself from a "tumble" whenever I walked fast in them. So, I saw the burgundy and decided to purchase a smaller size (7). I wish half sizes were an option, because I had to return the size 7 burgundy sandals because they were too small. I think they would be an excellent and comfortable sandal if the sizes were accurate. I love the look of them!

I bought this because I read in some artocle that they were super comfortable. Unfortunately I did not think so. The bottom of my feet would stick to the shoes. Have to return.

I love these sandals so much and they fit my feet great. I even talked my mom into buying a pair after she tried mine. They have been great until this weekend. I wore them in the river and then left them on the covered porch to dry overnight so that dirt and sand wouldn't be tracked in. I went to grab them the next morning and the top layer of the sole had separated some from the bottom layers and had actually shrunk. I'm hoping this is just a defect and they will replace them, but I still have to pay to send them back and be without them for a few weeks.

I think one size bigger would have been perfect but that size was not offered for this shoe. I wear Teva’s all the time. I get into trouble because I like the sandals with the paddeing under the straps and I can not always find them. These have the padding but were too small.

These Teva sandals were my constant companion during a 3-week trip in the jungles and beaches of Borneo. They were very comfortable, non-slip soles really came in handy in wet rocks or mud, and I was even able to wear them with socks to prevent insect bites. I walked quite a bit as well and they held very well for me. I can't say they're stylish, but I picked the sandals for function, not fashion. Overall, I would recommend them for anyone who is planning to spend time outdoors and needs good non-slip soles, solid support and comfortable adjustable straps. Even my bunions were comfy!

I've always bought the Teva Hurricane for hiking and just general walking comfort. The Universal Trail is even more comfortable with more cushion and they seem very well made so far. The bottom is not as rugged as the Hurricane but I love these for walking around. I would highly recommend.

I was pleasantly surprised by these. The sole and straps are very comfortable, the fit is great, my foot feels supported, and they are about as stylish as hiking sandals get!

I bought a pair of these a few years ago and basically have worn them everyday since. I hiked el yunque in pr in them with no issue the first week I had them. I want to buy a new pair but I hate the new colors!!

Placed order but discovered i ordered the wrong color. I called and they shipped the right color the next day. When both shoes arrived I loved them both. Great fit, so comfortable.

I've been searching for a pair of sandals that is durable, comfy without compromising on aesthetics & this universal trail checked off all the boxes!! I wasn't sure if I had to "break it in" but to my suprise it was ready to go. Wish they came in more colors.

Great sandle, but the footbed is rough and it bothered my tender feet. I need a smooth footbed. I'm still wearing my 5 yr. old, leather, universals.

I have several models of Teva sandals, but these are my favorite. They are light and comfortable.

Great all around sandal that's comfortable to walk in. I've been on some longer hilly walks and that were great. No blisters or discomfort right out of the box.

Bought these for a trip to Portugal. Wore them 12+ hours for multiple days and they were perfect. Cobblestone streets, sand, rain, hills--so many hills. I was so impressed and pleasantly surprised with how comfortable they were. Highly recommend. I'm typically a size 8 and ordered a size 8 and it fits great. I don't typically wear a wide width, but my foot is a bit wider and these worked great.

While I prefer the Chao strap design, I am really happy to find a hiking sandal with vibram, good cushioning, arch support. However, the velcro strap came apart pretty immediately when I wore them while swimming in New River Gorge.

I tried several styles of the Tevas determined to find a scandal style that met my needs of comfort. I must admit, I have very picky feet, the nylon straps kept cutting into my baby toe no matter what adjustments I made. I wanted to one of the cool kids that hikes around in their Tevas looking foot loose and fancy free, not like an old grandma with tons of padding and huge soles. I found them!!! This style is not bulky, yet it has the padding I needed so my tootsies were comfortable and stable. They look better on than in the photos. I love them al the way around.

These sandals are amazing. I have a wide foot and they fit great. I have never had any issues with getting used to them. From day one they have been comfortable. They are worth every penny.

These sandals are great! They're stylish, comfortable, and sturdy - exactly what I wanted. The only issue is if you have small ankles, the straps can go a bit far off the edges and they might come unstuck easily if a lot of the velcro doesn't overlap. I have this problem slightly but it's manageable.

I saw the universal trail advertised in LLBean but they didn't have them in my size so went right to the source. I bought the same shoe many years ago and after wearing them a couple summers packed them away and in the interim moved several times. Found them again and decided to get another pair when I saw them in LLBean. Imagine my surprise when I unpacked the box to see almost the same show. When something is good, it never gets outdated. What a neat surprise in this culture today.
