Not a hippie hence new to Teva sandles.

I bought a pair of these at the local REI store in the spring. Since then have hiked mountain trails & local greenways for hundreds of miles. My feet have rarely been so comfortable on these outings. I feared the 1st pair might wear out & Teva would discontinue this pattern so I bought another pair to keep in reserve. 7 months later and 500 miles down the road the first pair is barely broken in! The reserve pair may have to wait a bit.
