Customer Reviews Teva Original Universal Revivew

I have worn my Tevas constantly since I bought them a few years ago. They are the best! Super comfortable, great arch support, and very versatile. I've worn these shoes hiking, wading through water, swimming, playing sports, paddleboarding, and exploring during the summer, and with socks in the winter. My dog chewed one of the straps, but it refuses to break! Truly these are the best shoes.

I have many sandals. I found myself wearing my Teva's the entire summer. No need to break in. Just put them on and go. I highly recommend these sandals if you planning a vacation and are going to do a lot of walking.

I absolutely love these boots! I like how versatile they are as they are not just for winter, but are also waterproof for the wet spring season. They are easy to pull on and off, and do not chaff my heels like others do. I also love how they don't look out of place when wearing around town on the weekend, so I will definitely be getting my full use out of these!

I'm 37 now and have never had a bad pair. I hear lots of folks commenting how their new pair isn't made the same as a pair they got in like 1996... Of course they aren't. Materials change, manufacturing grows.. we learn certain ways produce a lot of pollution and adjust. They are a bit different but the only thing I notice is they are lighter and just as strong, fine by me. I wear a size 12 and buying slide and sandals is tough.. I've just given up on slides entirely. But for sandals, LUNA and Teva male some fantastic shoes. The biggest thing for me is being dependable when I'm out hiking and stuff. The Tevas webbing runs under the soles so they literally cannot break, it's not possible. That to me seems like the best bet out in the middle of nowhere. Cheaper brands rubber-weld or sew the straps on and the first time you really run them hard ajd do wet/dry they fall apart. Not Teva, these excel in abuse and climates changing quickly. They also don't carry mud like lots of shoes and boots do, so you stay light. They are a great buy. And my long slender feet do great in a size 12.

I wear Teva sandals most of the year in hot and humid Texas. I use one pair as pool shoes. I was able to add two more pair on sale. Happy!!

Great shoes. Wear them around the house with thick socks in the winter instead of slippers. Tevas offer better support and comfort.

Loved this sandal!! Soooo much softer - NOT squishy though! - than I'd remembered my original Teva sandals ever being...LOVE!!

A necessary basic for anyone who enjoys the outdoors. Wear them constantly for: kayaking, short walks, and they're cute enough to wear with cuter/casual wear too

I love these sandals for everyday wear in the summer months. They are essential for work where I often get my feet wet and dry out nicely for when I am in the office.

I went on a cruise, these sandals where my go to's. Although sometimes the tip of the sandal got caught on whatever I was doing walking. Not sure if it was me not picking up my foot while walking or the rounded tip was too long for my foot. Anyway...I love them! Will buy more colors.

The fit and construction are top notch.

I am taking these to the shoe shop to have the strap over the toes shortened. It goes all the way to the floor and more on me, but otherwise perfect. Very comfortable. I sized up from half size.

I typically don't like sandals or open toed shoes, but I wanted a good beach shoe without having to sacrifice any of my god sneakers to the sand gods. I went with this shoe because my sister recommended this brand to me and this style was on sale and honestly I will be wearing these to places other than the beach! Very cute, stylish, and easy to clean! I'm still fighting with how tight to make the straps, so sometimes my foot will slide toooo far backward in the shoe if I make the ankle strap too tight but other than that, love these!

First pair I've bought. So far I really like them, very comfortable.

I just wish the footbed was a smooth material as opposed to the grainy texture....it has an annoying bumpiness to it which is an odd texture and feeling

I like my Teva sandals. They are everything you expect when you buy a pair. I did have to size up. It's a little large because they didn't go half sizes. My regular size fit but felt like I would be toe surfing eventually.

Great casual but versatile style - and waterproof! Very comfortable for all-day wear. My only suggestion is a bit more arch support.

Haven't had this style for a while - hope it will last as long as my others.

I like how these look, how light they are, and how comfortable they are, especially considering they're not heavy-duty hikers. Look good at the campground, but also dressed up with nice jeans. @Teva, I would love if they came in half sizes and if the heel straps were adjustable! I haven't made up my mind on whether I like how thoroughly textured the foot bed is or whether the feel of the foot bed could be improved when feet get sweaty. Would get these if you want something versatile for your wardrobe in the hot months. Would not get these if you intend to walk big distances and/or with any weight on your back. Overall, would recommend.

I bought these in large part because of the cherry red color but as others have noted they are not the same red displayed, they lean more pinkish. I would love if they came out with a deeper red especially in the other styles. Otherwise I've worn them for a few hours here and there and the straps do rub a bit but I am going to play around with the tightness to see if that helps. I am usually a 6.5 but bought a 6 and that was the right choice.

Can't go wrong with a classic and these are indeed classic Tevas...very functional, nothing fancy, a slight upgrade to the sole of the initial design of my first pair back in the mid '90s. I ordered the Burst Blue Tile/Confetti in a size 8. LOVE the vivid colors in the design! I ordered an 8 because I normally wear an 8 or 8.5 women's shoe (US). However, I got to try on a pair in a store this weekend and probably should have gotten these in a 7. The 8s are just a little long; I've tripped over the shoe a time or two. Unfortunately, I can't return worn shoes! Trying to decide if I want to go back and order a second pair of the exact same sandal in a 7...

Versatile & comfortable sandals

Very cute and comfy, love the mountains. Wish they had padding on the straps though like the discontinued universal trail sandals. These rub my feet a bit.

I am copying my review from the other pair I bought at the same time of this pair, as they are the same model) I've been buying and wearing Teva sandals for years and love them the last couple times I've bought them. I noticed my foot would slide forward and I figured it was just a matter of breaking them in and/or finding the sweet spot with straps. I bought two pairs for this summer and absolutely love the way they look, but realized as soon as I tried them on, what was happening. The back strap is not adjustable and it is slightly too tight, which pushes my foot forward. Factor in the result of the sole warming up with use and my foot slides forward a lot ..right off the front of the sandal! That's when I realized that my very favorite pair of old Teva's had an adjustable back strap. Ah ha moment for me, and also sad face for realizing I'd have to return these, and buy the Hurricane series to get an adjustable back strap. (Which I already have) please, Teva designers, make the ack straps adjustable for these too??
