I am beginning to understand that reading &#34;customer reviews&#34; is often completely pointless.  I cannot believe that a person can claim that these sandals have leather uppers.  This is a sandal that is made of synthetic materials, other than the thin little suede lining of the sandal (inside).  The brown exterior material is just another synthetic faux leather, that I find it hard to believe would fool anyone.  That's why I do wonder about the impartiality of these &#34;reviewers&#34;.  Though maybe they are just very used to synthetic products that do not resemble the claims made in the item description.<br /><br />Likewise, the material of the sole is rigid plastic material, not very good for a walking sandal.  I would say that all this sandal is good for is appearances, period.  It isn't worth the money.  It's worth about $10-15, like all the other plastic sandals made in China or Asia.
