I ordered these shoes because I had a another pair of Teva shoes that I purchased over 10 years ago and still wear. The old ones don't seem close to wearing out!  Also, because Teva makes their shoes with adjustable velcro straps, they are one of the few shoes that I can get to fit my long, narrow feet. When the new ones arrived I was pleased with the color (two tone blue) and the fit. I also noticed that the soles have arch support, which is quite an advancement over the old, flat ones that I have. They are quite a bit more expensive than other sandals, but comfortable and stylish.  I really like them.
