I do not assume that these Teva's last as long as my old Teva Terradactyl (Globi offer small prizes for big feet, 14) which I have worn for 13 years Every summer. Such indestructible footwear would drive every shoe manufacturers out of business. One half as long life would also be OK. I assume that these sandals are keeping long as they are doing a very solid and sophisticated look. Attracted, minimally corrects the front loop and comfortable. That's how it should be! ;-))
