Teva has really diminished in quality, as I have read here often. We could not believe it right and have this trekking sandal ordered for my friend. The second pair already from the fi series. The first pair fought back very long and was until the very end properly.
On this new model went after one wear (no hike!) The closure (buckle) broken and the sole begins to dissolve. An absurdity in these expensive sandals.
Have complained that even at Amazon, so far no response.
