text: I purchased my first Teva's when they only had one or two models.  I believe I paid $15 and that pair lasted 18 years.  Three years ago I purchased a pair of Terra Fi Lite and the bottom just, literally, fell apart into two pieces.  I try to buy quality in any purchase but the first thing I noticed, which probably played a large part in the lack of quality, is that Teva's are now made in China and cost more than four times as much as my original pair.<br /><br />I contacted Teva and zero love from them.  Evidently they only expect their product to last one year because that's all the warranty is for.<br /><br />I won't be buying another pair.
