I have been wearing this sandal fairly regularly since April, and now (August) it has broken. There is a metal strip that is now sticking out of the sole! This has made the shoe unwearable. It is past the return date so I guess I am stuck with them and will throw them in the trash can! It's a shame because I really did like this sandal. I guess you get what you pay for. I liked the price at the time but I would advise future customers not to expect these to last very long/wear very well.
