    Other Teva® Related Questions

    Question
    How can I prevent odor from occurring with my sandals?
    Answer

    We have several suggestions. It is possible the rubber used on the top sole, when combined with your body chemistry, is contributing to the odor.

    The easiest way to clean the sandals is to bend the heel and toe under water pressure so that any dirt in the grooves of the top sole will wash away.

    Scrubbing them using a soft bristle scrub brush and an antibacterial soap may also do the trick. Do not scrub the nylon straps because it will cause them to fray. You can also put your sandals in a chlorine pool. Do not put them in a hot tub or jacuzzi! Allow your sandals to dry, but not in direct sunlight.

    We recommend that you clean your sandals every 2 or 3 weeks in order to reduce the bacterial build up.

    If your sandals have an odor prior to wearing them, put them in a well-ventilated area for a few days. Airing them out should do the trick.

    The sandal odor is not covered under Teva® warranty.
