Product Description

From a Grand Canyon raft in 1984 to docks, stoops, and sidewalks around the world, one of Teva’s very first sandal stands as a testament to timeless comfort and utilitarian style.

Teva is an authentic icon in the outdoor industry. Founded in the early 1980's by a Colorado River guide, Teva pioneered the sport-sandal category. For more than 20 years on rivers, in canyons, and across the trails of the great outdoors, athletes and enthusiasts have traveled the globe comfortably and confidently in Teva footwear. Providing positive contributions to the world in which we play is at the core of everything Teva stands for. The Teva name itself is a Hebrew word meaning "nature" and the hand logo is the Hopi symbol for "friendship" and "water." Teva supports the outdoor athletic lifestyle and remains committed to innovation in outdoor performance footwear, the platforms which carry enthusiasts beyond the offices of the day-to-day and onto the rivers, trails, and canyons of the next adventure.

Arguably better than Chacos!!
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!

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.

The sandals are very lightweight and comfortable. They look sturdy as well, the straps are very soft. They fit true to size, I wear size 11 US so ordered these in the same size. I bought these in winters so haven’t had the chance to wear them, will update the review after using them in summer.

These sandals are siiiiick. From the streets, to the beach, from the trails to the lake, these bad boi's are more versatile than potatoes. My second pair of original Teva's and they're better than the last ( I've worn this pair for about a year now); the top-sole (foot side) is squishier than playdo in a ziplock bag (much improved from older Teva's) and comfy for all-day wear. The plastic triangles for the straps will sometimes wear on your skin, but I have wide feet and this is fixed by just adjusting the tightness of the straps (I found looser with some slack is better for me). Weirdly my feet sweat a lot when I wear them, but that's probably just a me thing. Finally and most importantly (should have started with this) ORDER DOWN 1 WHOLE SIZE!!!! The fit is perfect if you order 1 size smaller than what you wear in athletic shoes, as they run large. 5 stars for the colors and look, I get mad respect when wearing. 10/10 would recommend

Great Sandal! Used it on my trip to Vietnam and Thailand. pretty comfortable and compact. It fit nicely in my backpack. After awhile the strap did give me a blister on my pinky toe but that maybe due to me wearing them every day for 14 days lol

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.

Reviewed in the United States on March 31, 2017

Like the color and the brand, but this model seems to run somewhat smaller, and half-sizes aren't available (wish they were). I prefer the sandal to be slightly larger so when your foot shifts forward/backward your heel or toes aren't hanging out over the sole. And yeah, the inside sole surface is rougher than my other Teva's, but it's probs for better traction.
