Great Quality Sandal - Lightweight and Lasts For Years!
I bought a pair of these 'Teva Original Universal Sandals' over eight (8) years ago and just bought my second pair to replace them. These are my 'go-to' sandals for everything - they are super lightweight and look good with any kind of outdoor clothing and are good for every outdoor activity. I wear them throughout the summer each year and often wear them all day long - whether walking or hiking, or on the beach, in the ocean, at the pool, and in lakes and rivers. This is a great quality product that really lasts. The sizes run a bit bigger than other US shoes, so I bought one size smaller for my new purchase this year.

Good sandal
I got these to replace an identical pair that I had used (not daily) for more than 15 years. On a section hike of the AT in NC my son's boots fell apart and he used my original pair (just like these) to hike the remaining 3 miles to our trail pickup. Light weight, durable, good sandal.

Nice quality, with one exception...
These sandals are comfortable and stylish. The quality is great... EXCEPT for the piece of plastic on the toe strap. If you intend to wear these sandals snuggly, then the plastic will surely rub against the outside of your foot. I found that loosening the strap causes less friction there... But the appeal to these sandals (over flip flops, etc...) Is the toe strap that keeps the sandals in a more athletic fit.

Comfortable, stylish, rugged, and adventure ready!
Amazing sandals! These things are comfortable, stylish and rugged! Their first adventure was exploring mines, and they did great on the loose, rugged, rocky terrain. The size ten is a little big for my 9.5 foot, but with the dual velcro straps, they stay on tight! Of course they aren't very warm for winter, but it's a sandal. Love these shoes, and plan to take them on many more Adventures, and wear them until they fall apart! Highly recommend!

Great minimal sandal
I have four pairs of these sandals now. I'm a minimalist shoe enthusiast and a hiker/backpacker. My first pair that I used for hiking and backpacking finally wore down enough on the sole to lose traction on the trail, so I've replaced it. My other two pairs are used for less abusive settings, so they have lasted a long time. I've just put 50 miles on my new pair and love them as much as the others. I did discover that the rubber is softer and more cushioning in the new pair -- I don't think this is a change in manufacturing, just that the older pair hardened some over time. These sandals are not as minimalist as, say, the Xero sandals, but they give a little welcome padding for rocky trails. I use both, depending on conditions. I find no need for the more aggressive tread and fancier styling of more expensive sandals. These are great, with or without socks.
