Sandals Teva Original Universal 06"

Teva Original Universal sandals trace their roots to 1984 and a Grand Canyon raft trip, evolving into a versatile everyday sandal with a focus on comfort, adjustability, and durability. The design combines quick-dry recycled webbing, a supportive molded EVA midsole, and a rubber outsole to suit both wet and dry conditions while offering a simple hook-and-loop closure for easy on/off.

Advantages

The sandals use quick-dry webbing made from recycled plastic with traceable REPREVE® polyester yarn, providing a durable, eco-conscious strap that supports the foot. Multiple adjustable points within the Universal Strapping System™ allow a personalized fit, while the molded EVA midsole with heel cupping and an arch cookie adds underfoot support. A rubber outsole improves traction and durability, and a peppermint-based antimicrobial treatment helps reduce odor-causing bacteria.

Suitable for

• All-day urban wear and casual use
• Light outdoor activities and festivals
• Water-related activities and wet environments
• Travel and getting around town

When it may not be suitable

These sandals are not intended for technical hiking, heavy backpacking, or activities requiring ankle support or a closed-toe design. They may not provide enough cushioning or protection for long treks on very rough terrain.

How to use

Slide your foot into the sandal, adjust each hook-and-loop strap to secure a comfortable, supportive fit, and ensure the heel cup and arch feel aligned underfoot. For water use, rinse with fresh water after exposure to salt or chlorinated water and allow to air dry; avoid prolonged exposure to direct heat to preserve materials.

What to consider before purchase

• Intended activity: choose sandals for casual, water, or travel use rather than technical hiking
• Fit preferences: the Universal Strapping System™ offers multiple adjustments—try different strap settings for optimal fit
• Care needs: quick-dry webbing and antimicrobial treatment reduce odor but regular rinsing and drying extend lifespan
• Sustainability: webbing is made from recycled polyester; check recycling program options if disposal is a concern

Usage recommendations

For best results, use the adjustable straps to create a snug but not tight fit, rinse after saltwater or pool use, and participate in the brand’s recycling program to dispose of well-worn pairs responsibly.
