These were my first pair of Teva sandals ever. I thought I was paying way too much for them, but it turns out that I've gotten way more than my money's worth. I picked them up while living in Alaska, wore them through a pregnancy, hiked, climbed mountains, mowed my yard in these things. I am still wearing my original pair 5 years later and just now looking into replacing them...not because they are worn out so much as I just want another pair! I'm the kind of person who doesn't wear shoes unless I absolutely have to, and these are my go to slip ons for literally EVERYTHING! You won't be disappointed in these flip flops.
