text: For years, friends have raved about comfortable Minnetonka shoes are.  Since I found this sandal and loved the look, I purchased them with high expectations.<br /><br />Pros:<br />- love the look.  they are my most versatile summer shoe.<br />- comfort.  Very comfortable.<br />- sizing.  I usually wear a size 9B and these are a size 9B<br /><br />Cons:<br />- quality of the bed of the shoe<br /><br />I have worn these quite a bit over the past year, but not enough for the shoes to begin falling apart.  The material under the big toe on my right foot started flaking off and showing a very stark white color.  Every time I wear them, a bit more comes off (now a little larger than the size of a nickel) and now the same spot on my left foot is starting to flake.  Early on, it was limited to directly underneath the toe, so as long as you had the sandal on your foot, it didn't show.  Since one of the things I love about summer sandals is the ability to slip them off to get extra comfortable, this was definitely a negative.  Now, the flaking is extending all the way to the inside edge of the bed so the white shows even when the sandal is being worn.  I am going to try to buy some black nail polish to cover it and see if that helps.  The rest of the shoe is wearing exactly as I would expect but unless I can darken the BRIGHT white now showing, they will be unwearable.  I will definitely be hesitant to purchase additional shoes from this company that I would plan on wearing daily.  Would be fine for less frequent usage, I would think.
