Detailed Review
The Teva Flatform Universal Mesh Print stands out for its combination of style and functionality. The unique mesh fabric is not only visually appealing but also plays a critical role in ensuring your feet stay ventilated during hot summer days. This makes it a perfect companion for festivals or beach outings.
The hook-and-loop closure allows for a personalized fit, which is particularly beneficial if you're planning on walking long distances. However, while the adjustable straps offer flexibility, some users have noted that they could wear down over time with frequent use. Therefore, it's advisable to check them regularly for any signs of wear.
In terms of versatility, these sandals shine brightly. Whether you're dressing up for a casual outing or looking to relax at a campsite, the Teva Flatform Universal easily adapts to your needs. Plus, its eco-conscious construction will appeal to environmentally aware consumers.
However, if you’re someone who requires significant arch support, you might find this model lacking in that department, as it tends to offer minimal support compared to some competitors. If arch support is a priority, options like Chaco's Z/Cloud may be more suited to your needs.

User Reviews
Loved the white sandal with a black stripe making them super versatile. There is a small amount of arch support. The mid platform is sturdy and easy to walk in. I mostly got for the web straps which are easier on sensitive skin. Very little breaking in time. These are going with me to Greece and one of two sandals.
I purchased these sandals for a tropical vacation where I knew there would be a lot of walking involved. As a petite woman, I always look for sandals that will help me a little bit with added height. These were a great update to my old Teva sandals I got 20 years ago when I was in college. The added height gives me added cushion that my old pair did not have, making them more comfortable than my previous pair. My original pair of Teva sandals still look great and don’t look like they are that old at all. I am still glad that I updated them with this pair that is perfect for walking long distances in the summer, or while on vacation in warm weather areas.
I love the Teva platform sandals- but- the black foot bed always blackens the soles of my feet and they look dirty every time I wear the other Teva platforms. These don’t! I love these for traveling because the platform is easy to walk in, cushions the walk, but also keeps your feet cool and above the dirt of the street. My other Teva platforms have had the layers of the soles come unglued. So far these are hanging in there. I am thoroughly enjoying not having black feet.
I bought these tevas for a week long trip to Disney world. I walked over 75 miles in these sandals and had absolutely no blisters or rubbing on my toes or heels by the end of the week. Absolute best shoes!
More comfortable than the previous flat form tevas I've had. (previous design: 2016 universal 3" flat form solid black) These have straps that are wrapped in padded neoprene so that the plastic triangle conjunction hardware and the straps do not dig into your feet like the previous design. Great improvement. There is a gentle slope to the food bed as well, not just a straight across foot bed like the previous generation of flat forms so they are more natural to walk in and make for a more comfortable fit.The sizing seems right to me. My feet are just above a sz 7 at like 7.25. I ordered a sz 7 and these fit. They do not seem too small on my feet at all. One thing I did notice about these though, is that they seem a little more narrow than the older flat form design. It works for my feet, but might be a concern for some with wider feet.
7 is my usual size. These are a size 7 and I have a pretty wide foot. Straps rubbed a little the first couple times but less now that my foot knows the shoe better. I am enjoying wearing them a little more each time. They are so cute. I also like the extra height they give me. I am a 69 year old grandma and 5'2" and have no problem walking in them.
I wear these everywhere, at the river, to work, for a walk, so comfortable!
I’m using a 7.5 but size down to a 7 for Tevas. They are the cutest sandals and comfortable as well. I would 10/10 recommend!!!
