I've had these shoes since March and bought them to go to the pool. Where I live the pools don't open until Memorial Day weekend and close Labor Day weekend. The shoes turn my feet black when they get wet and as of yesterday (8/21/15) they broke. The part that goes in between your toes came out Out of the sole. I'm not hard on shoes....matter of fact I have shoes that I've had for 10-20 years.
