I like them as these were my first Teva's. However I made the mistake of walking around town with them and ended up with a blister. Not my most comfortable sandals but I will try them again as I want to use it to the beach, boat and lakes. They do look very cute and true to size

Great for my trip to Hawaii but the buckle on the right foot rubbed on my toe. I was only able to wear two days. I don't know if this is always going to the issue. I hope not otherwise they will set in my closet.

I used this to do longer walks on trails and pavement in Hawaii. Comfortable shoes. Didn't worry about shoes when it rained. I used to be concerned with the "look" of the shoe, and now I value comfort more.

I returned these only because, at 66, I need more cushion under my feet. My usual size fit well and they are easy to get off and on. I also ordered a pair of Midform Universal Geometrics and the thicker sole felt much better for me. Would recommend them if you're OK with a thinner sole.

Pros: I used these for a trip to Costa Rica and they were amazing during the random rain showers and all the hiking I did. Comfortable and did not slip once. Cons: NOT WIDE FOOT FRIENDLY I have bunions due to wearing vans all my life and these sandals kept cutting into my pinkie toe and big toe. I only kept wearing them because I wrapped those toes in bandages. Overall, would wear again but would not buy another pair.

I took off stars because I cannot find half sizes for this style! Size 7 is too long and size 6 is too narrow on the toes. I enjoyed hiking on flatter trails with the larger size, but it does not work for steeper hills. If the back strap was adjustable, I could have made these work.

The good: - Really wanted to like these. As a shoe, super comfortable out of the box I felt like I could walk forever in them. The bad: - The product description claimed "3-way adjustment," but as far as I can tell, there's only 2: the strap beneath your toes and the one on top of your ankle. - Colors were too faded for my taste.

The shoes were much lower quality than I expected based on prior year's purchases in a store. They will suffice for around the house but not for any long walking.

Used this for the rocky beaches. It's nice to be adjustable and going between water and land, but it feels like I'd get blisters if I wore too long or far, especially on my pinky toe on the outside of the foot. I have wide feet, so while the foot bed seems ok, I wonder if the odd pressure is due to my foot shape.

The front strap seems to edge into my skin, which is painful. I had to stop wearing these sandals after a few days for that reason. Otherwise, they fit well and had good traction.

I like them but they aren't as comfortable as my other ones. For some reason the right shoe flips in the front from time to time.

I loved the style and colors, however, the material was very stiff and uncomfortable. I also have a bunion on my right foot and the strap was painful. I will be returning them.

The original universal sandal is not my favorite but I really wanted a solid red and it was the only way I could get it. The red color is a little disappointing due to pinkish hue. I wanted the cherry red I saw on the website. My favorite shoe is the all day hiking sandal that I wish came in more solid colors.

I've bought 3 pairs of Teva's over the last 10 years. They always last me about 3-4 years (mild to medium use) which works great for me. The problem is they aren't sold in any stores near me and the colors never look the same in person as they do in the picture. The most recent pair I got was cherries jubilee which looked like a bright red in the picture online. In person it's not even close to red, it's a hot pink color. I had asked my fiance and mom which ones I should get and they both voted on the red ones and I was disappointed that they ended up being hot pink instead. I would suggest buying in person if you can so you know exactly what you're getting. Size fits true to size.

I bought a size 10 in this style sandal in 2019. These size 10 sandals are a 1/2 inch smaller. 11 would be too big- & these size 10 are a bit too small for me.

Not terrible. The shoe is actually very thin. This is the cheapest pair of tevas I have gotten and the quality shows. There is a pattern where you foot lays and it's a bit like a flip flop and kinda uncomfortable. The sizing is accurate

They were okay, quite comfy but the lilac color washed out just from walking in the sun a few hours :( so disappointing I would've rather had them all in black

These are so cute. I saw them on my sister when i went to visit a few weeks ago and they were great. She said she thought they ran big but we followed alll the directions and ordered mine they are big. Because of the Velcro closing though, you can kind of get away with it. There's lots of extra space above the toes and below the heel. The other thing is that the soles are bumpy and uncomfortable and when it's hot out they are even worse. I really wanted to love these because they are so cute

I have purchased Teva sandals in the past and was very disappointed with the quality of the universal sandal. Not anywhere the quality of the sandal I purchased in the past.

These were more comfortable than the new Tevas. But not as well cushioned as the originals. Plus the footbed size didn't fit my feet properly. I can wear them around the house but not that comfortable for outdoor walks.

I was hoping that I would love these but they rubbed my toe. No matter how I adjust them, I assume I ordered too big.

Thought I'd try it. Surface under the foot too scratchy/coarse... Not your most comfortable.

Loved the style but as soon as I walked around the house the sandals put a painful pressure on my baby toes. I think it's a small ring that digs into the side oof baby toes.
