I've owned a pair of Tevas since the 90s.  Usually I buy this style and color.  I've tried replacing my old ones which split at the sole a couple of years ago.  At first I thought it was 3rd party seller or Amazon's fault that I kept getting the wrong size sent, but I tried again this year with a different seller and had the same problem.  The materials are different- feel cheaper.  The shoe is cut differently and look clown like (super wide and long) compared to my old ones. And the strap at the top is attached closer to the arch which leaves the toes feeling kind of hanging out there and un-supported. I called Teva to find out what was going on and their rep admitted that they're getting complaints from customers about the new materials they're using.  Another example of a company that sold out to their bottom line and is trying to ride the wave of their name instead of producing a good shoe.  I found another (Atika) of somewhat comparable quality (not quite as good as the old Tevas, but certainly made better than their new styles and at half the price!)
