text: I love Frye products. I have Frye boots and a Frye bag that I use on a daily basis and they hold up so well. I had high hopes for these sandals. I love the style (they go with anything) and they were immediately comfortable when I put them on. The sole is durable and I could tell they would last for a long time. Except I had to return them because part of the ankle strap was deteriorating.<br />I noticed they were feeling a bit looser but assumed at first the leather was just giving a little. On closer inspection however, I saw that there was a small piece of nylon / elastic that connected the strap that goes around your ankle to the buckle. This piece (on both shoes) was unravelling and falling apart.<br />The good news is I checked immediately and was still within the one month window to return them for a refund (thanks Amazon) But very disappointed that they were not better constructed.
