About Teva: Teva’s Original Universal is one of their first sandals, the one that started on the Colorado river. What we stock is that men’s sandal, and the women’s Midform Universal, which uses the same adjustable strap idea on a 1.25 inch platform. The straps are hook-and-loop, so you can set the fit across the foot. On the Original Universal, Teva say to size down if you are between sizes. Their UK size matches the UK we show. Their Euro size matches up to a women’s UK 6, then it runs smaller than the EU number on our site.

Teva fit & sizing tips

  • Measure the longer foot. Trace both feet, measure heel to the longest toe, and use the longer one. Teva say to round to the nearest 2 mm.
  • Between sizes, go down. That is Teva’s note on the Original Universal. The straps still let you tighten or loosen the fit once the length is right.
  • Women, UK 3 to 6. These match Teva’s own Euro sizes: UK 3 is EU 36 (22.0 cm), UK 4 is EU 37 (22.9 cm), UK 5 is EU 38 (23.7 cm) and UK 6 is EU 39 (24.5 cm).
  • Women, UK 7 and 8. Teva call a UK 7 an EU 40 (25.4 cm). We show EU 41. They call a UK 8 an EU 41 (26.2 cm). We show EU 42. Order by the UK size.
  • Men. A UK 10 is their EU 44.5 (28.1 cm), not the EU 45 we show. A UK 11 is their EU 45.5 (28.9 cm), not EU 46. A UK 12 is their EU 47 (29.8 cm), which does match our site.
  • The straps do the width. Both sandals have several points of adjustment and a quick hook-and-loop closure, so a wider or narrower foot can be set without changing size.

Teva Women’s Sandals

The women’s sandal we stock is the Midform Universal, from UK 3 to UK 8. The foot lengths below are from Teva’s women’s chart for that UK size. UK 3 to UK 6 line up with their Euro sizes. UK 7 is 25.4 cm and EU 40 on their chart (we show EU 41). UK 8 is 26.2 cm and EU 41 on their chart (we show EU 42). The platform height on the Midform is 1.25 inches. The straps are the same adjustable Universal system as the Original.

Frequently Asked Questions

Should I order my usual UK size in Teva?

Yes. The UK size on our site is the UK size on Teva’s chart. If you are between two lengths, Teva’s note on the Original Universal is to take the smaller size. The straps can then be tightened.

Why does your EU size not match Teva’s?

Up to a women’s UK 6 it does. After that, Teva’s Euro size is smaller than the EU we show. A women’s UK 7 is their EU 40, a women’s UK 8 is their EU 41, a men’s UK 10 is their EU 44.5 and a men’s UK 11 is their EU 45.5. Men’s UK 12 is their EU 47, which matches us.

Are they adjustable?

Yes. The Universal strapping has more than one point you can set, and it closes with hook-and-loop. That is how you fit a wider or a narrower foot in the same length.

Can they get wet?

That is what they are for. Teva list the Original Universal for water as well as everyday wear, and the straps are a quick-drying recycled polyester. The sole is rubber.

What is the difference between the two sandals?

The men’s Original Universal is the classic flat sandal. The women’s Midform Universal uses the same strap idea with a 1.25 inch platform. Both are in whole UK sizes only, in the sizes we currently have.
