FAQs

Are these sandals truly vegan?

Yes, the Teva Men's Orig Universal Vegan Sandals are made with vegan-friendly materials, including recycled polyester webbing and EVA components.

How do I determine my correct UK size?

Refer to the size chart provided by Teva or compare with your usual UK shoe size. These sandals are designed for a standard fit, but adjustability allows for some flexibility.

Can I wear these sandals in the ocean or pool?

Yes, the quick-drying webbing and water-ready materials make them suitable for light water activities. However, rinsing with fresh water after exposure to salt or chlorine is recommended.

What is the difference between the Orig Universal and other Teva models?

The Orig Universal represents Teva's foundational design, known for its classic strapping system and essential comfort features. Newer models may offer advanced cushioning, specific traction patterns, or different materials.

How should I clean the EVA footbed?

The EVA footbed can be wiped clean with a damp cloth and mild soap. Allow it to air dry completely away from direct heat.

Do these sandals offer arch support?

The sandals feature a molded EVA midsole with heel cupping and an arch cookie for added support. While they provide support for everyday wear, they are not designed as orthotic footwear.

What does 'REPREVE® polyester yarn' mean?

REPREVE® is a brand of recycled polyester fiber made from plastic bottles. Using it in the webbing supports sustainability by repurposing waste materials.

Troubleshooting

Straps not holding adjustment

Ensure the hook-and-loop fasteners are clean and free of lint or debris. Press firmly to secure the straps. If the hook-and-loop is worn out, consider replacement.

Discomfort or rubbing

Readjust the three points of the Universal Strapping System™ for a better fit. Ensure the straps are not too tight. Break in the sandals with short periods of wear initially.

Slipping on wet surfaces

While the rubber outsole provides traction, extreme wet conditions may reduce grip. Use caution on very slippery surfaces.

Fading of colors

Prolonged exposure to direct sunlight can cause colors to fade. Store the sandals in a cool, shaded place when not in use.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

These sandals require no assembly. Simply unbox and adjust the hook-and-loop straps for a secure and comfortable fit. The Universal Strapping System™ allows for three points of adjustment: across the ankle, instep, and toe.

Compatibility:

Designed for adult males, these sandals are generally compatible with most casual outfits. They are suitable for a range of foot shapes due to their adjustable straps.

Care Instructions:

To maintain the quality and longevity of your Teva Original Universal sandals:

Cleaning: Use a damp cloth to wipe away dirt and debris. For tougher stains, a mild soap can be used. Avoid harsh detergents or abrasive cleaners.
Drying: Air dry the sandals away from direct heat sources (like radiators or prolonged direct sunlight), as excessive heat can damage the materials. Stuffing with paper towels can help absorb excess moisture and maintain shape during drying.
Material Care: The recycled polyester webbing and EVA components are durable but should be treated with care. Avoid prolonged exposure to harsh chemicals.
