Great quality and comfort right out of the box. I have at least 10 pairs of Teva flip flops in all different colors. The first pair I ever bought was 18 years ago and I still wear them! I also own 3 pairs of Teva boots. I love the comfort and quality of Teva and although I haven't worn these new sandals outside yet...it's still winter, I am confident they will be just as long lasting and they are already as comfortable as all my other pairs of Teva shoes! I would highly recommend their products! These are fun with the stars, suns and moons on them!
