FAQs
Are these sandals suitable for hiking?
The Teva Original Universal Sandals are best suited for light hikes on well-maintained trails. They offer good traction and cushioning for casual walks but lack the specialized support and protection needed for rugged or technical terrain.
How do I adjust the fit of the sandals?
The sandals feature hook-and-loop fasteners on the ankle strap and across the foot. Simply unfasten, reposition the straps for a snug yet comfortable fit, and re-fasten.
Can I wear these sandals in saltwater?
Yes, the quick-dry webbing and durable materials are suitable for saltwater. It is recommended to rinse them with fresh water after exposure and allow them to air dry.
What is the benefit of the REPREVE® polyester webbing?
REPREVE® is a brand of recycled polyester made from plastic bottles. Using this material makes the sandals more sustainable by diverting plastic waste from landfills and oceans.
How do I clean the EVA midsole?
The EVA midsole can be cleaned with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. Wipe it down and allow it to air dry.
Do these sandals come in different widths?
The Teva Original Universal Sandals are designed with adjustability to accommodate various foot widths. While not offered in distinct width sizes, the multiple adjustment points allow for a customized fit.
What is the sole made of?
The outsole is made of durable rubber, providing enhanced traction and longevity.
Troubleshooting
Hook-and-loop fastener not sticking securely.
Clean both the hook and loop sides of the fastener with a small brush or tweezers to remove any trapped debris. If the loop side is matted, a stiff brush can help restore its texture.
Sandals feel slippery when wet.
Ensure the rubber outsole is clean of mud or debris. While designed for water, excessive slickness may occur on extremely smooth wet surfaces. Dry the soles on a rougher surface if possible.
Straps are causing irritation.
Readjust the straps for a less constrictive fit. Ensure the webbing is not rubbing directly against bare skin in a sensitive area. Break in the sandals with shorter wear periods initially.
