I love my Tevas. I bought my first pair twelve years ago and I can still wear them. I must add that the customer service department is the best I have ever encountered. Thanks for your wonderful customer service.
I got my first pair of Tevas 20-something years ago when there was only one style, and the Hurricanes are pretty much the same as the original ones. It took me several years of daily use in everything from backpacking, river running, even hiking in the snow (yes, really) to finally wear them out. When we had kids we got them the Hurricanes (or whatever the predecessor was called) as soon as they could walk, and they've taken everything my boys can dish out. Their only complaint has been that the straps chafe a bit until they break in, but after that they're fine. The boys (ages 9 and 12) have never actually worn out their Hurricanes-they just outgrow them. We travel quite a bit, and the boys' Hurricanes even stood up to 5 months of traveling in India last year. Great product, and Teva customer service is great to deal with as well. Kudos.
