I love these shoes; they have lasted very well. Good quality, comfortable, cute. I am in California and wear them with jeans, shorts, skirts all the time. They did start to get smelly after 9 months, but I covered the soles with baking soda, left in a closed Ziploc bag for a couple of days and all good again. I've even bought a second identical pair, as eventually Clark's will stop making them, and they're my favorite sandal.
