FROM LILY'S HUSBAND: I bought a pair of Teva sandals over 10 years ago, it just broke last month. I replaced them with a pair of sandals from Reef but it just wasn't the same. So when my wife bought a pair of Teva, I took advantage and ordered myself a pair of these, they were great right out of the box, no breaking in required and it feels like my feet have been reunited with an old friend. Love all the different styles and color combinations now available.
