I have many Athena Alexander sandals.  I had same one for few years, but finally the strap broke.  When I found this from Amazon, I was so happy and immediately placed my order.  It came to the door in two days.  It was not the same as real Athena Alexander.  The sole is not the same as real Athena, the whole top was manmade.  The product was exactly the same as the picture and the description, but NOT the same Athena Alexander that I used to have or the Nordstrom has.  it was huge disappointment as it looks so cheap.  Who knows when it break so I will return them.  It's a fake Athena Alexander.
