Terra-Fi 2 (TF2) is the closest to the original made by Teva, however it does not measure up. Original used thick Spider Rubber (similar to rock climbing) that was durable and stuck to anything, the TF2 has a thin layer which soon wears through.Ankle strap has neoprene to cushion, here's where we separate the engineers from the users. Seems like a good idea, however the cushion maintains water and sweat and keeps grit under it which grinds against the skin. Bad idea. The original was simple nylon which might not have been as comfortable if you were walking around the house in them, but for serious users it dried out quickly and shed dirt.
Strapping system is good, however breaks easily. This is unacceptable if you are using them for serious hikes. Plastic which holds the three rear straps together is cheap.
When dealing w/ customer service for replacement I had to hound them and finally wrote to the head of Teva.This only took 3 letters and as many months for a reply, and what a reply..it's questionable if he graduated from high school.
Very sad that such an outstanding shoe and idea have become just another sandal to wear around the yard.
