FAQs

Are these sandals suitable for hiking?

The Teva Original Universal Sandals are suitable for light hikes and trails, especially those involving water crossings. For technical or rugged terrain, sturdier hiking footwear is recommended due to the sandal's design.

How do I determine the correct size?

Refer to the size chart provided by Teva or the retailer. These sandals are listed in UK adult foot sizes. Measure your foot and compare it to the chart. The adjustable straps also allow for some flexibility in fit.

Can I wear these sandals in saltwater?

Yes, you can wear these sandals in saltwater. Rinse them thoroughly with fresh water after exposure to saltwater and allow them to air dry to maintain their condition and prevent salt buildup.

How long does the anti-odour treatment last?

The Life Natural anti-odour treatment is infused into the materials. While it provides lasting benefits, regular cleaning will help maintain its effectiveness over the lifespan of the sandal.

Are these sandals waterproof?

The webbing is quick-drying, making them water-friendly, but the sandals themselves are not fully waterproof. They are designed to get wet and dry quickly.

What is the weight of a single sandal?

A half pair for a UK W5 (Women's 5) weighs approximately 156g.

What materials are the sole made of?

The sole is made of a combination of 50% rubber and 50% synthetic rubber for durability and traction.

Troubleshooting

Straps feel too tight or too loose.

Utilize the multiple adjustment points of the Universal Strapping System™ and the hook-and-loop closure to loosen or tighten the straps for a perfect fit.

Sandals feel slippery when wet.

While the rubber outsole provides traction, always exercise caution on extremely slick surfaces. Ensure the outsole is free of debris that could reduce grip.

Debris stuck in the sole or straps.

Use a soft brush or a damp cloth to remove any mud, sand, or small stones. For stubborn debris, a gentle rinse with water may be effective.

Material appears discolored.

Clean with mild soap and water. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight, which can fade colors over time. Air dry thoroughly.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The Teva Original Universal Sandals require no complex setup. Simply adjust the hook-and-loop straps to achieve your desired fit. The multiple points of adjustability in the Universal Strapping System™ allow you to fine-tune the tightness around the forefoot and ankle.

Compatibility: These sandals are designed for general adult use and are compatible with most casual and active wear. They are suitable for individuals with standard foot widths, with adjustability accommodating minor variations. They are not intended for technical mountaineering or activities requiring rigid ankle support.

Care: To clean your sandals, use a damp cloth to wipe away dirt and debris. For the webbing, mild soap and water can be used. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners. Allow the sandals to air dry completely away from direct heat or sunlight. The anti-odour treatment is integrated into the material and does not require special care, but regular cleaning will help maintain its effectiveness.
