text: I was looking for comfortable sandals that I could walk in for miles with no discomfort, and tried these on at be store. They felt great and looked nice, so I got them. However, one of the plastic pieces on the front of my right shoe snapped into pieces the first (and only!!!) time I wore these shoes out. This was very unfortunate, because the plastic pieces are what holds all of the straps together.  I was left hobbling around in public with my foot dangling out of the front of my sandal while I tried to find something to wear for the rest of the day.  Other people who had purchased this same shoe had similar experiences (look up its reviews on DSW's website). This was probably one of the worst purchases I've ever made.
