Customer Reviews Teva Original Universal

I absolutely love these shoes. I bought two pairs and I wear them all the time. The style and colors are so unique but the comfortability and supportability of the shoe is great. I’m typically a size 7.5 but I bought a size 8 because I prefer my sandals half a size bigger.

It’s taken me some time to warm up to the Teva style. Now that I have a pair, I’m definitely enjoying them. They’ve proven to be a great alternative to flip flops or my more dressy sandals and have been great for walks and playing outside with my kids. Think they also look pretty ok with skinny jeans or shorts.

Not cute and not comfortable. Very clunky and manly looking and feel as if the straps would rub and cause blisters.

These are cute, but not styled the same as they once were so I’m returning. I have a 10+ year old pair of Teva cork-soled sandals that I love but they are finally wearing out and I was hoping to replace them with these. What’s weird about this pair is how far back the toe band is on my foot. It doesn’t feel secure, like the front end of the shoe would be a trip hazard I still have the old pair so I’ve compared them. There is a distinct difference.

I put the shoes on to check for size and comfort and ended up wearing them all day because they felt so good.

I love the original Teva sandals! I have another pair in black that I’ve been using for kayaking. They are perfect for that. I also have another pair with a leather sole. My feet are almost flat so I don’t like much arch support. I have always loved that I can adjust Tevas. I thought it would be fun to get some in another color. They do not disappoint! I don’t like for my toes to be too close to the front of any shoe. These are the perfect length when walking on them. I wear between an 8 1/2 and 9 in sandals and always get size 9 in these.

I’m a true size 10 and think I could have sized down 1/2 size.

Definitely order half a size or even a full size down! I ordered my regular size at first and they were too big. Otherwise these are great sandals.

Love them. very comfortable. Only downfall I'd have to say is that the straps are too long. After pulling secure and fastening the velcro, I have almost 2" of strap at the ankle that dangles and catch on things. It's quite annoying, but to the defense of the shoe, I have tiny ankles and narrow feet...so maybe it's my fault?

I wear a size 9W in women’s. I compared these women’s original universals in a 9 to a size 7 men’s mid universal. They have a very similar look, and the length and width are the same. I thought the width generally worked for me in both shoes, but especially in the men’s shoes. The straps on the women’s are thinner than the men’s, and the front cross-foot strap is attached further back and is also set at a more inwardly turned angle. Both of these things led to my pinky toe getting rubbed pretty badly. The men’s pair was great in the front, but the back strap was too short for me and painfully rubbed my heel. The men’s also had a taller foot bed with more arch support, which I liked. In the end, both pairs of shoes are going back. I attached pictures of the size 7 men’s mid universal on the right and the size 9 women’s original universal on the left.

Fit is loose and cannot be adjusted on the back strap. Even if I tighten the only adjustment strap up all the way, my foot is still too far back. I don't know why Teva would make a sandal with no back strap adjustment. ?. I am going to try Hurricanes and see how they are. I wish they still made Terrodactyls. Those lasted me 2001-2019 with much loved use. They blew out last summer and I was so sad I had to choose something else.

Ok fit but really uncomfortable. Expected more cushion and better arch support for tevas. Big disappointment. Wore for three days in a row and my feet were killing me. Gonna go back to Merrels.

The fit was true to size and width. It didn't seem to have arch support, but I didn't expect it with this style of sandal. Ny foot was held securely by the ankle strap and toes strap, both of which were velcro to allow adjustment. The sandal didn't rub on either side of my foot. very comfortable and cute.

I love Teva! Arch support is always excellent...try their flip-flops sometime! These are perfect summer shoes!

Love these colorful sandals. Will be awesome for beach vacation. I love the adjustable straps for a custom fill

Very comfortable sandal. Adjustable. No slipping. I wear these for hours of walking without any rubbing or discomfort. I am between 7.5-8 and the 8 is a perfect fit. They have held up very well for several months.

I was apprehensive because I have bought similar styles from other brands, but these Tevas were the real deal. So comfortable right out of the box. They don’t rub my feet or toes. The normal width is wide enough for my feet. And I feel like the arch support is great even though the sole is flat- they have a lot of give. Plus I loved the color I got! Matches a lot of my outfits!

I love these sandals so far and the light multi was a great choice. I read other reviews and ordered a size 8 although I usually wear and 8 1/2. I have a wide tie box, so being able to adjust the straps easily is a must.

THese are the cutest !! I haven’t worn them yet but tried them on and they seem to fit!! I can’t even imagine the compliments I’ll receive when I actually wear them !!
