text: Less than 5 months after purchasing this product, the heel area of the left and right sandals are failing. One side has a crack in the outside sole and the strap and sole lining have collapsed. On the other sandal, the sole has formed a hole and the sole lining for this side has also collapsed.  The last set of sandals that I owned (not a Northside brand), they lasted 5 years. Take this into consideration when buying this brand.
