About Teva
It’s fair to say that recent fashion trends have been a conveyor belt of “dad” trends, with everything from anoraks to golf course–ready polos getting attention from the fashion crowd. The practical sandal was undoubtedly one of the most popular, with hiking brand Teva shifting its camping shop credentials to become the sandal of choice for Instagram’s coolest.
It saw sellout success within weeks. Well, it’s time for dad sandal lovers to rejoice, because the £50 comfy-yet-cool shoe style is back for another year, and is ready to transition your loungewear into the warmer months.
Tevas are shoes you can just as easy mooch around at home in as you can walk 10,000 steps a day in, thanks to the spongey platform and the adjustable straps. They come in many colours, including orange, white, khaki, aqua (a popular style is the Hurricane Drifts).
However, the most-loved style within fashion circles are the Universal sandals in the Midform version, which are available in the UK for £50. Thanks to the platform, these are perfect for toughening up pretty floral minidresses and slip skirts. For those looking to go full-on dad, try adding a pair of white chunky ankle socks.
Overview of Teva
The Teva Original Universal provides excellent value for most users, with one of the lowest prices in our lineup. While these sandals might not always provide the raw performance of some of their fancier sandal competitors, they do dish out plenty of comfort and capability in a surprisingly lightweight package, weighing in at 0.84 lbs (13.5 oz) per pair in size 10. Classic Teva lovers will enjoy the simple design and retro style.
The Teva Original Universal impresses with its retro style, supreme comfort, and throwback price tag. Surprisingly lightweight, these kicks are easily adjustable with their simple Velcro straps and are quite comfortable with plush EVA foam underfoot.
The tradeoff for this lightweight cushiness is that they came up a bit short in our traction and stability tests, particularly in wet conditions. While these might not be your top choice for crushing tons of miles or traversing slick or technical terrain, they make a versatile all-around sandal with plush comfort, simple use, lightweight build, and great price.

What Other Sandals Should You Consider?
Who doesn’t love a traditional Teva? We sure do, but there have been some improvements over the years, and the Teva Fi 5 is just that. The Fi 5 offers significantly better comfort and traction over the Universal, and it is also more stable and versatile.
If traction is vital to your adventures, the Fi 5 is the Teva to choose. Alternatively, if you want a great lightweight sandal that allows for easier passage of pebbles and sand, the Bedrock Cairn Adventure is one of our top -performers. This sandal is like an adventure flip-flop with impressive traction, comfort, and versatility the Teva couldn’t match in our tests.
