text: Ok so I bought this pair of sandals at a different department store for half the price of what Amazon has here. I loved these sandals initially. They're very comfortable and I can wear them all day. I have plantar fasciitis and I thought that I would have to be careful wearing these, but I had no problems after wearing them all day. I was so relieved that I thought I had a sandal that was so comfortable and somewhat supportive. So here's the problem, after two months of having them and just occasionally wearing them, the ankle strap broke! I was sooo disappointed. I was walking in them while on vacation in Chicago and the strap just popped open! After my trip I looked both shoes carefully and found that the elastic bands on both shoes were showing through the stretchy material and looks like the other could snap too. I've been considering emailing the manufacturer especially since it's only been two months. But I really liked these shoes. There's no way to wear the broken one without it looking odd. I would have given these sandals 5 stars had it not been for the broken strap! Truly disappointed....
