text: This is my second pair of these.  They are attractive and comfortable but the do not last.  Almost a year to the day, the right shoe broke at the part that goes between your toes.  This is the second time for that exact same shoe failure.  For as much as they cost, they should last longer than a year.  Obviously, I don't wear them in the winter so it has been less than one year that they have actually been worn.
