I bought these shoes for my wife earlier this May. We were long distance and engaged at the time, so when I finally gave them to her, she wore them every day for about two months. A couple weeks ago, the strap on one of her shoes completely broke from the sole, and I could see my 80 bucks go down the drain. I've submitted a request for a return through Amazon but have not heard back. Ideally, I would like these shoes to last at least 6 months rather than two, and I sincerely hope Avarcas will exchange these shoes. If not, we won't be buying shoes that only last a couple months, despite how much my wife loved them.
