I am a long time wearer of double arch leather wide straps and these just don't compare.  I bought to wear to the beach so water wouldn't affect them negatively.  Wearing around the house for a 15 min I realized they just weren't going to stretch and be broken in like a nice leather pair.  Returning these and sticking with my usual leather....  These are really cute, but the quality isn't there and they run smaller - even the platform was slightly shorter than the same size in my leather double arches by Rainbow.  Wanted to like them.  Spend the extra $20 and get a quality lifetime pair instead!
