These walking sandals are incredibly comfortable, so much so that I've got them in four different colors.

Hear me out: Tevas may be well-known, but back in the '90s, their signature 'original universal' sandals were considered part of the 'bad granola dad' trend (people on Reddit can be quite harsh about them). However, around 2015, they made a comeback as 'ugly shoes' became a fashion trend again. Even the Olsen twins are now wearing Tevas.

If you've been avoiding Tevas because you're not fond of their signature patterns (which can remind you of a 'Legends of The Hidden Temple' vibe or a 'Saved By The Bell' summer yacht club look), or if you're skeptical about their comfort, let me change your mind on both counts. Teva's 'original universal sandal' comes in around 40 colors for women and 30 for men on Amazon, ranging from their unique prints to solid colors, including color-block designs. I wear mine with everything, from casual shorts to dresses, and I was even convinced they could be work-appropriate! But comfort is key: I walk at least 5 miles every day in New York, and these sandals have never caused a blister, despite my feet being prone to them. The adjustable Velcro straps let you customize the fit, and the grosgrain ribbon straps are gentler on my skin than leather. They also offer decent support and cushioning, even on hard sidewalks. Plus, they hold up in the rain and are reasonably priced. Now I own them in four colors.

“The TEVA Women’s Original Universal Comfortable Quick-Drying Casual Sport Sandal has exceeded my expectations in terms of comfort and durability. I recently wore these sandals for a 10-day trip to Costa Rica, and what impressed me the most was that I didn’t experience any foot pain or rubbing, even though I hadn’t broken them in beforehand.

These sandals provided excellent arch support and cushioning, making them ideal for long walks and exploring various terrains. The quick-drying feature was a game-changer, as I could comfortably wear them in water activities, and they would dry off quickly, preventing any discomfort.

The build quality of these sandals is exceptional, with sturdy straps and a durable sole that withstood the rugged conditions of hiking trails and beach adventures. They also maintained their shape and showed no signs of wear and tear even after extended use.” —Eme M.

“I’ve owned several varieties of 'water-resistant' sandals (such as Keen, and Sanuk) with the very purpose of using them for humid, rainforest-like climates to hike, swim, and trek through muddy or rocky terrain. These sandals far surpass the other brands I have tried. They had no break-in period, they felt great to wear all day, and even after getting wet, they did not make your feet feel soppy or pruney because they dried so quickly! I trekked up steep, wet rocks on a hike to waterfalls and never felt that these soles couldn’t keep me safe. I swam into a waterfall pond with them on and trekked through red volcanic sand and mud, which I thought for certain would stain them indefinitely — I got home, tossed them in the wash on gentle, and they came out as pearl white as when I bought them. I love them so much, I want to buy several more pairs... just because.” —Bethany

“I bought one of the very first Teva river sandals back in the late '80s and wore them hard for at least a decade until they basically fell apart. After all this time and experimenting with other sandals that never lived up to my memory of Tevas, I finally got another pair. It was like reuniting with an old friend.” —Swamp Monkey
