Customer Reviews Teva Ysidro Universal

I have loved Teva sandals for a very long time. I have wide feet with high arches, and typically Teva's 7.5 feels like it was made for my foot. I purchased the Ysidro to replace a worn out pair of their Ventura Cork II sandals, and was met with utter disappointment. The Ysidro was almost a full inch shorter than the Ventura Cork II, and it was also significantly narrower. Additionally, the front strap is further forward on the sandal, and in the exact place where it could cause a bunion on my already wide feet. I don't even think going to a larger size would solve the problem. I'm hoping this is just a problem with the Ysidro, as I don't want to give up on Teva!

I LOVE these sandals! I just bought two pairs to replace the two I bought in 2009 prior to a three month trip to Europe. I walked miles every single day in these and never had a problem. With the heel strap they feel very secure which is very important. So glad I was able to find them again.

I love these Teva Ysideo Universal sandals. They are very comfortable. I ordered black in a 9-1/2 because this is my size but when I ordered another pair in tan I order a 10 and they are perfect. It seemed that because of the higher heel my foot moved forwarded and I got a callus on my one toe because it hit the edge. But, the size 10 was perfect so I would order 1/2 size larger than shoe size. I just ordered another pair of black in the flatter heel this year also and I just love them. Most comfortable sandals I own!!!

These shoes were exactly what I was looking for: a comfortable, ruggedly fashionable sandal that can handle some serious walking/light hiking. I wore these everyday on a 2 week trip to Mexico, including for Chichen Itza and other ruins that have rugged stone paths and they were comfortable and durable. The decently thick sole prevented any pain from long days of walking. I did find that they took a few weeks to break in (the sole was uncomfortable for my heel at first due to it being a bit short) and the leather does stretch out a bit. I ordered both my regular size and a half size bigger, and kept the half size bigger since the other one was a bit short.

I really love these shoes. I wore them for three days around Disney World without one blister or getting tired feet / legs. We walked quite a bit, at 18,000 + steps per day as well. I did feel the difference between the footbed and the edge of the shoe as some of the others have mentioned. In fact, when I first tried them on, I thought it would be an issue. I gave the shoes my "treadmill test" though and knew that after a couple of miles I would be able to walk in them as much as necessary. I was so happy with these that I recently ordered the same shoes in a wedge. I do wish that they made this type shoe with a little more "pizazz"! It would be great to have the comfort and the sparkle! Ha! Give these a try! Even if you don't like them, you can send them back with no hassle!

Super comfortable. need to go up a full size. I normally wear 8 or 8 -1/2. Never have bought a 9-1/2 shoe except this one.

This shoe was so cute out of the box! It has nice thoughts to it like a wrap around the back of the heel so it doesn't rub, and very soft leather. Unfortunately the shoe was absolutely small, especially in width. After I put these shoes on and stood up, I could feel that my foot was spilling over the edges. My big toe and lateral side of my foot were both over the edge, and there wasn't support from the arch supports in the shoe as my feet went over this as well. Too bad! So cute! BTW - the heel is not as high as it seems.

Runs narrow and short

These sandals look and feel great. I normally wear an 8.5 and did have to go up to a 9 to not have the straps over the front of my foot feel tight. The footbed is molded to the foot for natural feeling support. They are wonderful for walking. I like the minimal look of the narrow straps. What also drew me to these is the smooth leather footbed-comfortable and stay clean looking. Man-made footbeds get sweaty and the suede type footbeds end up with disgusting toe marks (I hate that!). Most of my comfort sandals are slides but planning for a major walking vacation, I wanted something with straps that would stay on. I can wear these all day with complete comfort so I think they’ll work well for vacation! Wish they weren’t made in China though-I tried several other brands and styles since I normally avoid China made at all costs, so you know they are comfortable if I ended up buying them over the others I tried.

these seemed like comfortable but stylish shoes that I could wear for walking around but still looking stylish. The brown color didn't quite suit me as much as a lighter color, so I returned them.

Never thought I would own a pair of Teva's. Never liked the look of them. Then I found the Ysidro style. I LOVE them. They look really nice on with any outfit and are so comfortable. Only one strap at the ankle to attach. Easy to toss on/off. Never had any issues with the leather, or breakage, or stretching... the cognac color is beaautiful. They feel like I'm wearing slippers. Did not have any "breaking in" stage. I'm guessing, because of the great quality, I will have these for many years. Very true to size.

I bought these to wear at work - business casual but we can wear tennis shoes and open-toe shoes. I work in an office environment, but we are all serious about walking on our breaks. I walked almost 7k steps today around downtown today in these sandals and not a single comfort complaint. The material for the straps is very soft. I love the velcro vs a buckle bc I sit pretzel style in my office chair a lot. Buckles dig into my skin. I have a pair of sportier Teva sandals that I also love and have had for almost 2 years now. I like to walk a lot and flip flops just aren't functional for me.

Lovely shoe. Superb arch support. Wanted to keep but found another Zappos sandal that was a wee bit cuter. And it runs a little larger.

I usually wear an 8.5 but ordered a 9 based on the reviews. The sandal fit well but there is no arch support for my high arches, so I'm returning them.

These were great except for all the stitching around a foot pad at the ball and along the edges of the foot pad. I could feel these spots and knew they would not work for walking any distance. They went back. Soft leather on uppers.

Didn’t like them at all. Too small, too narrow and didn’t look how I imagined they’d look on at all. Straps were stiff and looked cheap, even though they’re not. Sent them back.

After reading other reviews I got a half size up (7.5 instead of 7) and found that sizing up was a perfect fit. I bought the shoes for a trip to Portugal because I wanted something comfortable but my stylish than my classic Tevas, and I found that these were a good fit for my trip.

These are super comfortable and actually fit me perfect. Based on other reviews I expected to need to return the size 9s and exchange for 9.5 but I fit well, and my toes tend to hang off of some sandals but these shoes fit just right. Super comfortable walking shoes and the leather feels great and soft.

I originally ordered my size 8, but it was too short. The size 8.5 is just right. Other reviewers reported that the width is more narrow than marked. They were right - this fits my narrow foot just fine, but it sure doesn't fit like a medium.

I love these sandals and will be ordering them in black. Love the style because they can be casual or wear with casual dresses. I can walk in these sandals with no problem.

PS. I love these sandals! I wish you sold them in navy blue.

I am happy with these shoes. I ordered up a 1/2 size as was recommended and they fit well. I've only worn them around the house so far but I think they will be just fine for a comfortable, solid summer sandal.
