Customer Reviews Teva Original Universal Rainbow Pride

Wore these for about 2 months over the Southern Hemisphere summer. After about 3 weeks the soles had started to wear out quite noticeably and where the material is connected to the base by my big toe was starting to pull away. I probably won't be able to wear them again this summer for fear they could fall apart at any time. The thin sole also means they are not suitable to wear out walking/hiking, unlike previous Tevas which have had much more robust soles and lasted several years. This pair was a replacement for my Ventura Cork 2's, which I returned as they were sub-standard, can't be bothered paying the postage to return this pair. My original Venturas lasted at least 4 years and would love to see them make a comeback.

I could not wear these shoes.

These are thing soled, lacking any kind of arch support and feel flimsy. I am very disappointed. I've had TIVA's with soles like auto tires that lasted fifteen years. Not these.

The white rubber sole is unattractive...not to my liking.

I am disappointed in how uncomfortable these sandals are. I am sending them back. They felt very cheaply made. I'm sorry Teva. I used to love your products.

I wore the shoes for a thirty minute walk and then the soles started detaching from the shoe! Yikes. I thought these were hiking sandals. :/

I ended up returning these because they looked incredibly stupid as soon as I put them on my feet....my boyfriend literally burst out laughing at them as soon as I put them on also. First time that's ever happened..haha I'm sure they work well, and are of quality - they just looked so bad, were ill-fitting on my foot (I usually wear a 9.5 and the 10 was huge on me), and the colors were much brighter than were represented on the website.

Very poor quality compared to my original Tevas which finally fell apart after 10+ years. Soles are thinner --not as comfortable for walking. Very disappointing.

I plan to return them soon

The hard plastic triangle that all the straps attach to is in a very uncomfortable spot. No amount of breaking in would soften it. This makes the sandals unwearable.

As Teva has grown, quality has suffered. My first pair of Universals fell apart after 15 months. The replacement pair came apart after 7 months. The soles delaminated from the uppers in both cases. FYI, the sandals were worn 4-5 hours each week...light usage. After being a loyal Teva wearer for 30+ years, I have turned to the competition. Previous sandals lasted for years not months. The current offerings are a sad excuse for the amazing shoes that Doug Otto created.

If the straps accidentally touch the Velcro, the material pulls out a little and gets fuzzy. Happened second time I wore them when I crossed my feet. Never had this problem with other material in Texas

I ordered the sandals and was very disappointed in the footbeds that were very uncomfortable for me . I have ordered Teva sandals before & was very pleased with the product. This new line were not the same. Had to send them back. Very disappointed !

On the water, Hiking. It just was not like the original so we glued the sole on the old pair and will continue to use them. The [air is a good 15 to 20 years old! Thin, no support. awful.

Cheap footpad. No better than 99 cent flip-flops! Returned product.

I had my last pair for about 10 years. I loved them. Was were disappointed when I got these and had to return them.

I had Teva a few years ago and expected it to be the same, especially since the top was leather. I expected a shoe built for a woman on the go. I use these sandals for just about everything but not this time. The sole was so cheap and thin and the leather would never stand up like it did in years past. Not sure what happened but I returned them. I need a rugged sandal that is worth the price - which I'm willing to pay if the quality is there and it wasn't there this time.

I returned these shoes. Style was cute, but straps were a big problem for me.

Although a very good looking sandal, I found the bed of the sandal to be slippery. Tightening the straps did not prevent my feet from sliding forward out of the sandal. I had to return them. Despite the low rating for the sandal itself, I give 5 stars to Teva for their very easy and convenient return policy!

Disappointed in quality.

These are at least a whole size too big, and my son says they feel like he is wearing "cheap flip flops". Not comfortable for him.

The front buckle was in an awkward spot. It dug into my pinkie toe. At first I thought maybe I had to break them in, so I kept wearing them. After 4 days I almost couldn't walk an inch in them. In fact, I'd like to send them back for a refund. I've worn tea flip flops for years and love them, so I was originally excited about the universals. Apparently they are not designed for universal fitting of all foot shapes.

Slippery when wet. Without arch support.

Bought my first Teva's nine years ago, and have worn them every summer since. Well, finally they wore out, and I decided to get some more. I am VERY disappointed with the new pair. The quality of the product is very poor...it feels as though I bought a knock-off, cheaper quality pair of Teva's. Only thing is...they were NOT cheap!

I purchased them because I work at a summer camp requiring that we wear sandals with a back strap. They are truly much too wide and I would have to cut the velcrow down a few inches for them to get close to fitting. I'm pretty disappointed with the low quality of the bottom of the sandal. I tripped once while wearing them and now the toe of the shoe is all scratched up.
