## Description

Reemerging just in time for warm weather adventures, tie-dye makes a comeback in the form of quick-dry polyester straps. A vegan sandal that employs recycled plastic from traceable REPREVE® yarn, this retro remake propels the iconic Original Universal into bold new territory.

Review: The old standby - Reliable and sturdy and super comfortable at a great price. With “hard use” they last a year—then they serve another year as house sandals. They got the molding just right. Great product.
Review: Totally different type of sandal than Chacos - I am very happy with these. I had initially bought Chacos, buying into the hype of the strapping system and the durability. Unfortunately, the molded heel bed for Chacos do not fit my feet at all and hurt a lot. I returned those and went with the main competitors, Teva. I'm very glad I did. These fit my feet much better. They have a somewhat molded foot bed, but the material is softer and compresses under my weight more. The velcro on the straps is a bit annoying, but I find these easier to get on and off than Chacos. The heel strap sits more across my heel than my Achilles tendon and it feels very secure. I have run around in these without them slipping off. The strap that goes around the front of my ankle sits a bit high, making them feel secure around the ankle. The only problem I had, as other reviewers noted, was the plastic triangle where the three straps near the toes meet. Only on my right foot it caused pressure on the protruding joint near my small toe. But, since the triangles are not equilateral, I was able to rotate the one causing pain and have not had an issue since. Comparing these against standard Chacos, they are obviously not as durable. If you need something as durable as Chacos, I'm sure Teva makes a closer competitor that will be equally as durable (and expensive). The footbed is a relatively soft EVA material, which is comfortable to walk on out of the box. The outsole is a little bit stiffer rubber, but nothing like the Vibram/Chacogrip outsoles on Chaco that can be resoled and are highly durable. My typical uses for these outside of day to day wear is hiking and biking. I will wear these for only the mildest of trails, whereas I would trust the Chacos more for rugged terrain, but they will give my feet some rest if I've been wearing my hiking shoes a lot. That said, these weigh significantly less than Chacos, so using these as camp shoes isn't as arduous as hauling around a pair of 1lb sandals. I've been biking to and from work in these, and they work great. They certainly aren't high performance, stiff soled shoes, but they work better than running shoes and my feet don't slide around on the pedals with these on.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great Sandals
*by K***E on October 21, 2025*

I typically hate wearing sandals and am known for always wearing gym shoes. I wish I had found these sooner. They are very comfortable. The sizes seem to run true. I had no issues with blisters or chafing and I have worn these for days when I am walking the entire day.
