I bought these for my husband for his birthday. He had been eyeballing them. Yes they are on the more expensive side for being sandals, but they have been well worth the money. He has worn them all spring and summer long in all kinds of weather and conditions. They are really holding up their shape and quality. He pretty much wears them everyday after coming home from work. Wears them all weekend long. He loves them and they are well worth the price.
