FAQs
How do I adjust the straps for the best fit?
Loosen the hook-and-loop straps, place your foot in the sandal, and then re-secure the straps snugly but comfortably. The universal strapping system allows for adjustments around the ankle and forefoot.
Can I wear these sandals in water?
Yes, the TEVA Original Universal Sandals are designed to handle water. They are made with quick-drying materials and are suitable for beachwear or light water activities. Rinse with fresh water after exposure to salt or chlorinated water.
Are these sandals suitable for hiking?
They are suitable for light hiking on well-maintained trails due to their durable outsole and comfortable footbed. However, they do not offer the ankle support or protection needed for rugged or technical terrain.
How do I clean my Teva sandals?
Hand wash with cold water and mild soap. Allow them to air dry completely away from direct heat or sunlight.
What is the lifespan of the EVA footbed?
The EVA footbed is durable but will eventually compress with regular use. Lifespan varies based on usage frequency and intensity, but typically lasts for several seasons of moderate wear.
Do these sandals offer arch support?
The TEVA Original Universal Sandals feature a contoured EVA footbed that provides basic support. They are not designed with significant built-in arch support and may not be ideal for individuals with flat feet or those requiring substantial arch correction.
What is the difference between different colorways?
The primary difference between colorways is the aesthetic appearance. The core construction, materials, and functional features remain consistent across different colors.
Troubleshooting
Straps not staying secured
Ensure the hook-and-loop closures are clean and free of debris. Press firmly to secure. If straps are worn, consider replacement.
Footbed feels too firm or lacks cushioning
The EVA footbed will mold to your foot with use. For immediate extra cushioning, consider using compatible aftermarket insoles if they fit securely within the straps.
Slipping despite the outsole grip
Ensure the footbed is dry. If the issue persists, the straps may need further adjustment for a more secure fit. Check if the sole has worn down significantly.
Discomfort or rubbing from straps
Adjust the straps to find a non-restrictive fit. Ensure the webbing is not twisted. Wear for short periods initially to break them in.

Care Instructions:
- Cleaning: Hand wash with cold water and mild soap. Avoid harsh detergents or brushes that could damage the materials.
- Drying: Air dry completely away from direct heat sources like radiators or prolonged sunlight, which can degrade the EVA and rubber.

- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place. Avoid prolonged compression, which can affect the shape of the footbed.
