Customer Reviews Teva Original Universal Revivew

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??

The shoes are very comfortable, but I took one star off because the color is pretty different from what is pictured online. I was expecting a more tan/brown colored shoe, the shoes I received were more of a grayish tan (similar to the caribou color of this same sandal).

I used to have these years ago n was looking for something I could used in the water so I purchased them

I love the product and its style, but it doesn't fit true to size. This is now my third pair and the sizing isn't correct. I may be sizing my feet wrong, or the sizing needs to be a little smaller when selecting TEVAs.

I love the colors on these. If you are between sizes with Teva, I will say sizing down with these Original Universals works a bit better for me than ordering my normal size 9. I have both a size 8 in this color, and a size 9 in black, and while the 9s are a little roomier, there is too much length ahead of the toe and they occasionally trip me up, especially when feet slip backward in the sandal. The size 8 feels just a tiny bit small to me, but overall I'm very happy with the purchase. They are definitely big for a size 8!

I bought these to replace my 20 year old pair that finally let go in the sole. I know-20 years is amazing for seasonal footwear! These new Tevas feel familiar and pretty comfortable. They are super adjustable and easy to put on. However, I would love to change out the foot pad from a raised surface to the smooth surface that I'm used to.

I've been buying TEVAs for 40+ yrs but ever since the sizing changed several years ago it's been somewhat frustrating. The size 7 used to fit perfectly, now the size 7 is slightly too small but the size 8 is too big. If TEVA made half sizes I could have adjusted, but I wish they hadn't changed the sizing in the first place.

kinda reminds me of late 90's- early 00's! love the style. the fit feels kinda awkward. mainly the straps over my bunion. but if you have flawless feet I'm sure they'll be fine. the size seems maybe a half size large.

I got the multicolored Teva woman shoe and is really cute and very pretty and it matches everything. I do like it but the Velcro strips used to close the shoe are sewn on poorly at least on my pair and the stitches are coming out several places on the shoe. hi how are you?otherwise I love the shoe.

They are comfortable and light weight. There is slight arch support. My feet are sensitive and the, I don't know what you call them, joints/buckles? The plastic triangle and circular pieces that connect the straps, they are a bit uncomfortable on my feet, so I am wearing them to Toughen up my feet. As I said my feet are sensitive. I first bought the women's hydratek. Those have padding at the joint areas. So I bought these to toughen up my feet so I will not have any issues with those. when I wear these out, I will definitely buy again.

I use them for everyday wear in the summer. I love the fit; I love the freedom and the feeling of comfort. I'm sorry that the adjustable heel straps went away, though.... :(

In the store, I was torn between two sizes, and went with the larger, thinking it would be less likely to be too restrictive. I should have gone with the smaller size, because what I have is too long, and I'm worried I'll trip. One drawback to this design, that the imitators do better, is that there's no padding on the triangular plastic pieces. It does rub a bit.

Teva fits well and very comfortable

I wore my old Tevas until they just fell off my feet. My only reason my 4 star rating is the color of the sandals. The site shows a navy blue sandal, but that's not what I received. My sandals are a lighter, sea blue. I was disappointed in that.

I liked the adjustable straps but am struggling with figuring out the toe one so that my little toes doesn't fell uncomfortable. I have done several things but for now it is still in the bandaid mode.

As usual, comfort style and quality five star, unfortunately the pair that I received almost look mauve-not quite the same as advertised photo

I like this product! It was what I was looking for in terms of a quick and lightweight option for our vacation. I do feel like the toe of the shoe is way too long. It was hard to walk in water because the front kept flipping down. Even with the straps tightened, the toe was a bit too floppy underwater. Could have made a good flipper! Good for walking on land, and splashing through small puddles, but not great for walking through water / rivers / etc.

I have narrow feet in the straps are really too long

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.

Rubbed little toe

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 footpads were much firmer than prior. Not soft and spongy as all had been prior. And even my prior ones, though soft, had the bottoms gradually losing connection and separating. What has happened to the brand I had hoped to live with forever?

Did not fit me well.

The sole on this teva is to soft after a month or two I found myself tripping at times in grass and at times walking on carpet

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.
