I've owned these sandals now for more than a month and have worn them as much as possible in the time that I've owned them. They still give me blisters on my middle toe (due to the band rubbing against it). It's a shame. The construction of the base part of the sandal seems very durable, but the straps are made thick with leather and just aren't breaking in for me. Your mileage might vary. Definitely not worth the price for me, though.
