FAQs

Are these sandals suitable for hiking?

The Teva Original Universal sandals are suitable for light hiking on established trails where good traction and quick-drying capabilities are beneficial. However, they offer limited ankle support and protection, making them less ideal for strenuous hikes or very rugged terrain.

How do I determine the correct size?

Refer to the sizing chart provided by Teva, which typically relates UK or EU shoe sizes to their sandal measurements. The adjustable straps also allow for some flexibility within your size.

Can I wear these sandals in saltwater?

Yes, the quick-drying webbing and durable materials are suitable for saltwater. Rinse them with fresh water after exposure and air dry them thoroughly.

What does 'vegan construction' mean for these sandals?

It means that no animal products or by-products are used in the construction of the sandal. The webbing is made from recycled polyester, and other components are also sourced to be vegan-friendly.

How long does the antimicrobial treatment last?

The Life Naturals antimicrobial treatment is designed to be durable and integrated into the materials. While it helps prevent odor, regular cleaning will best maintain freshness. Specific longevity can vary with usage and care.

Are these sandals waterproof?

The sandals are not fully waterproof, but the materials used, particularly the webbing, are quick-drying. They are designed to handle getting wet and dry efficiently.

Troubleshooting

Straps feel uncomfortable or cause rubbing.

Adjust the hook-and-loop straps to find a more comfortable position. Ensure the webbing is not twisted. If irritation persists, consider if the sandal size is appropriate or if the material needs a short break-in period.

Sandal sole feels slippery.

Ensure the rubber outsole is clean and free from mud or debris. For wet surfaces, maintain slow and steady steps. Note that while the outsole provides traction, extreme conditions may still pose a slip hazard.

Odor develops after prolonged use.

Clean the sandals as per the care instructions. The antimicrobial treatment helps, but regular cleaning is recommended. Ensure they are dried completely after washing and use.

Hook-and-loop closure is losing its grip.

Clean both the hook and loop sides of the closure with a stiff brush to remove lint and dirt. Ensure the straps are not excessively worn.
