FAQs

Are these sandals suitable for hiking?

The Teva Original Universal Sandals are suitable for light hiking on well-maintained trails thanks to their durable construction and reliable traction. For very rugged terrain or long-distance trekking, sandals with more robust support might be preferable.

How do I clean the webbing straps?

The webbing straps can be cleaned with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. Rinse thoroughly and allow to air dry.

Are these sandals truly vegan?

Yes, the Teva Original Universal Sandals are made with durable vegan outer materials and recycled polyester yarn, making them a vegan-friendly option.

What is the main benefit of the Universal Strapping System™?

The Universal Strapping System™ allows for a highly customizable and secure fit, with three points of adjustment (ankle, instep, and toe) to ensure optimal comfort and stability for different foot shapes.

Can I wear these sandals in salt water?

While the materials are durable, it's recommended to rinse the sandals with fresh water after exposure to salt water to maintain their condition and longevity.

What is the purpose of the molded EVA midsole?

The molded EVA midsole provides enhanced comfort and support for all-day wear, featuring heel cupping and an arch cookie to help absorb shock and maintain foot alignment.

Troubleshooting

Straps feel too tight or too loose.

Utilize the hook-and-loop closures on the ankle, instep, and toe straps to adjust the fit. Experiment with different strap combinations until a secure and comfortable fit is achieved.

Soles feel slippery on wet surfaces.

While the rubber outsole provides traction, very smooth or algae-covered surfaces can still be challenging. Ensure all straps are securely fastened for maximum stability.

Sandals do not dry quickly after getting wet.

Ensure the sandals are exposed to air circulation. Avoid storing them in enclosed spaces while damp. Placing them in a breezy area will aid in faster drying.

Discomfort after prolonged wear.

Ensure the straps are adjusted correctly to distribute pressure evenly. If discomfort persists, consider if the activity level exceeds the intended use for this sandal model.
