Teva Men's Original Universal Sandal

So I'm a woman reviewing these Men's Tevas. I have wide "sausage" feet and normally wear a woman's 9.5 wide in most other shoe brands. I decided to order a pair of Woman's size 9 and a pair of Men's size 8 and compare the two! The woman's were not wide enough and the plastic triangle piece rubbed on my baby toe, however the length didn't seem too small, just an uncomfortable tight fit.The men's size 8 were the winner! They fit MUCH better on my wide feet, and did not rub like the woman's did. Overall they are incredibly comfortable and cute! I would definitely recommend for any of my fellow fluffier footed lady friends :)

Teva Men's M Original Universal Sandal, Armida Black/White, 9 M US I bought my first Teva flip fop back in the 1980's when they first started in business. It's bullet proof and I'm still wearing it today. I bought my second Teva, this style, in the early 90's. It, too, was bullet proof. I wore that sandal everywhere, through the desert, on the river, and in the mountains. That sandal served me well for something like 25 years. The sole was like a tire tread with a 60,000 mile warranty. Alas, nothing lasts forever and the sole finally cracked last month. I was gratified to find that the style was still made and I rushed to buy one. It's like the original ... but slightly different. The biggest difference is the sole. It's now much softer which makes it maybe a bit more comfortable to wear. The sandal now feels like it's now more for casual street wear rather than for rugged outdoor use. At this point in time I will not put this sandal through the rugged terrain in which I wore the old pair, but if I get another 25 years of of regular use from this pair, I will be very satisfied.

I have an extremely weird feet shape. Extra, extra wide sole, my toes spread out even further, like roots from a tree. All my life I have had difficulty with finding decent footwear at a good price. This April faced me with a Spring Break-type walking getaway in one of USA's illustrious parks. My custom-designed ultra-nice minimalist $100 pair was worn through; I faced the facts: I needed a replacement pair, but the company I used couldn't promise a delivery within my necessary date.I went to Amazon, knowing I needed fast shipping. Since I was expecting pain and misery no matter what, I ordered cheap. The pair I selected was less than $30. Pleasantly surprised at the end of the day (we walked 7+ miles), I had no blisters from either the sole or the straps, even though I wore them new and unbroken-in! As the days turned into weeks, I found myself luxuriating in these simple, cheap, toe-loving things.If I said a negative about these, it would be the cross-hatch pattern of the pad. It took a little getting used to, since my custom-made pair hugged my foot like a sloth on its branch. But after the obligatory acclimation, I love them.

Contrary to some reviews, these Teva sandals fit me true to size. They definitely were not too long as some have experienced. The quality seems very good. I've been wearing these almost exclusively for about two weeks. I experienced none of the rubbing or discomfort from the straps. From other reviews I thought I would need some bandaids to avoid rubbing or chafing until the sandal and my foot adapted. That hasn't been needed at all. They were perfectly comfortable out of the box and remain so. It's like being barefoot with protection for my sole. I have worn Keens for about ten years. I decided to switch brands for one reason. Keens have hiking or work boot style soles. So, they are big and wide. It's not an issue unless I am driving my car with standard transmission. They are just too wide to get between the footrest, clutch, brake and gas pedals. So, I needed a narrower sole in my size. Glad I tried the Tevas. These are perfect. I drive with them with no issues. I still love the Keens, but the Tevas are more functional for my intended purpose. Great sandal.

First of all, it's great for the summer!!I have been looking for these kinds of sandals and I've compared between Chacos & Teva. I would have to say that these are better than Chacos.Pros of Teva:- Lightweight- Easier to put on with velcro, so no excess band flying around- More comfortable material (cushioned)Cons of Chacos:- Heavy- Hard bulky soles- More expensiveTeva sandals are just easier on the eyes too, with more options & patterns!

I bought these mostly for walking while it's raining out. Whether it's a light drizzle, a torrential downpour, or it's hot, clear, and sunny, these shoes are very comfortable. I live in Florida so not really cold out. They fit very well, and are nice and snug and secure where I can walk in a normal manner. I've also done brief bits of running and jumping, such as running toward a sudden slope and jumping when I get it for a very high jump. Compared to basic flip flops, these are much more comfortable and better meant for medium and long distances. The size diagram hinted that I was supposed to be size 7.5, but my normal shoe size I get is size 10 or 10.5 so I just got size 10 so basically just get whatever shoe size you normally get instead of using the size diagram.

Tevas are OK and are certainly one of if not the top name in this type of sandal. That said, they are quite expensive. I suggest that CAMEL CROWN Mens Hiking Sandals are even nicer and at a price of 30-50% less. In addition, the soles on the Tevas are not the best. Not as sturdy as on the Camel Crowns and there is a texture on the foot side of the Teva sandals that while it does help prevent slippage a bit, it is somewhat uncomfortable on your feet, a bit abrasive.

I don't know what it is but some of the cheaper sandals have a habit of hanging at the front and getting caught on things and cause me to trip. These do that. I had to throw them away as they were dangerous. I have other sandals from this brand that are a bit more expensive that don't do that and are fine. I think it's because the base is completely flat. The better sandals slightly curve up, perhaps it's because I am used to them curving up that causes me to trip. But no other shoes/sandals/footwear I have do this. I must have tripped 3 times before I noticed the pattern. I then made a conscious effort to note which footwear I was wearing next time I tripped, it was always these so they ended up in the bin. So one stars as they are dangerous for me and had to be thrown away.

Husband been looking at sandals for quite a while...ordered these in size 12 (his normal size) far too big. Ordered again size11 ...perfect!

You know that product that grows old with you? My husband's trad Tevas. So glad you still make the originals!

These sandals gave me cuts on the top outside edges of both my big toes after wearing them for a relatively short amount of time and not walking very far. My feet are still sore a few days later.They look nice otherwise.

Very comfortable and resistant. I bought those for a 20 days travel in Thailand. I've used them almost every day on asphalt, sand, grass, underwater... everything. They always supported my feet very well, like a second skin. In the beginning I thought they were a bit too long for my feet but that 1 extra cm on the tip was never a problem.
