Why We Like The Original Universal Sandal
Nearly thirty years ago, a river guide revolutionized outdoor footwear when he cobbled together a sandal that was comfortable, water-friendly, and would stay on his feet. Teva is celebrating by bringing back, for a limited time, the Men's Original Universal Sandal, one of its very first products. Featuring the then-revolutionary, now-classic technical water sandal design we all recognize, that has been jazzed up with new color options to make it just as appealing and relevant today as it was way back when.

Velcro sandals are officially back.
These things are amazing. Bought them kind of as a joke to see if they'd look cool but I've been wearing them for a week straight. Highly recommend.

I purchased the sandals for camp shoes. Not lightweight. Too many straps. For removal and putting on.

Grip is so bad
They are confortable and beautiful but the grip is really bad!!!! Today I fell for the fourth time in 15 days. Before I had the hurricane model and there is SUCH A BIG DIFFERENCE, with that ones I could go even trekking. I am disappointed, before I was so happy about my teva for 5 years.

Been using the Original since I was 6 years old
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.

Sandals a Hit
Wear the sandals daily. Now that it's getting colder, easy to adjust to accommodate sock wearing. Size was what I expected, my usually purchased footwear size. Will wait til spring to buy another color (other than the basic black). Hope you take no offense: but since I'm a former Viet Nam Era Marine, I refer to them, around the house, as my Ho Chi Min sandals. Like your product.....get them made in the USA! Robert E.

Great sandals
The sandals are sandals. They are secure to my feet and are nice enough to walk in without making me feel like I slide around the sidewalk or trail

Hope they never stop making them
This is my 3rd or 4th pair, they're great and I'll continue buying them. The durability is great, but I've had a new puppy the last year and well... 1-2 pair were destroyed by no fault of their own!

It's been awhile
I have a pair of 30-year old Teva river sandals, worn A LOT and the sole is separating but could probably be re-glued. I thought it would be nice to freshen up my Teva selection and order another. But I was surprised by the weight of this sandal--almost like a flip flop, it was so light. And the surface covered in tiny uncomfortable texturing. I sent them back.

No
Lacks arch support compared to all of the other TEVA sandals I have purchased. Also were loose on my feet and was not able to adjust them as I would like
