FAQs
Are these sandals suitable for hiking?
The Teva Original Universal Sandals are designed for everyday wear, travel, and light, casual use. While they offer some traction, they are not intended for strenuous hiking or technical terrain that requires robust ankle support and aggressive grip.
How do I adjust the straps for the best fit?
The Universal Strapping System™ features hook-and-loop closures. Loosen the straps to slip your foot in, then re-fasten them snugly to secure your foot. Adjust both the forefoot and ankle straps as needed for optimal comfort and stability.
Can I wear these sandals in the ocean or pool?
Yes, the quick-dry webbing and durable construction make them suitable for use in and around water. Ensure you rinse them with clean water after exposure to salt or chlorinated water and allow them to air dry completely.
What does 'REPREVE® polyester yarn' mean?
REPREVE® is a brand of recycled polyester yarn made from plastic bottles. Using this yarn means the webbing on these sandals is made from recycled materials, contributing to sustainability.
How should I clean my Teva Original Universal Sandals?
Hand wash using cold water and a mild soap. Rinse thoroughly and allow the sandals to air dry completely away from direct sunlight or heat. Avoid machine washing or using harsh detergents.
Are these sandals available in other colors or sizes?
Yes, the Teva Original Universal series comes in various colors and sizes. Please check the product listings for available options.
What is the expected lifespan of these sandals?
With proper care, the Teva Original Universal Sandals are designed for durability. Lifespan can vary based on frequency of use and the types of activities they are subjected to, but they are built for dependable everyday wear.
Troubleshooting
Straps not staying secure
Ensure the hook-and-loop fasteners are clean and free of debris. Brush them gently with a stiff brush. If wear is significant, consider replacing the sandals.
Footbed feels slippery when wet
While designed for quick-drying, the EVA footbed can become slick when saturated. Gently wipe the footbed and allow it to air dry completely for better grip.
Slight rubbing or discomfort
Adjust the hook-and-loop straps for a more precise fit. Ensure no part of the webbing is folded or bunched uncomfortably. Break them in with shorter periods of wear initially.
Outsole losing traction
Clean the outsole by removing any embedded dirt or stones. For continued loss of traction, the outsole may be worn down and replacement might be necessary.
