text: Bought O'Neill sandals because I had a previous pair that lasted ages.  Bought this pair which looked similar in style, but far from the quality.  Within the one week I received them in the mail, the top band (that lies on top of the foot) has started fading and has fiber hairs sticking out as though it's unraveling.  I never write reviews, but had to for these awful pair of cheap sandals.  I'm giving O'Neill one more try and buying one of their expensive pairs, and if those wear as quickly, they'll have lost a customer.  Buyer beware on this pair.
