text: These are beautiful and generally well-made sandals. The style is such that the heel slips a bit when walking (a bit like wearing a clog) but the fit is fine and they are comfortable for wearing all day. The leather is especially soft and required no breaking in.  So, why only three stars?  After wearing these sandals only two times, I noticed that the leather inner sole started peeling off on both shoes, towards the front. Maybe I got a defective pair, but whatever the reason I didn't want to keep $200 sandals that need any kind of repair after two wearings.  Even though it was a bit over a month since ordering, Amazon immediately offered a full refund after I explained the situation. Great customer service!!
