Customer Reviews Teva Original Universal Revivew

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??

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.
