I bought a pair of these in black from a local shoe store in June. A month later the heel on the right sole is completely crumbling, making the sandals unwearable. I don't do anything except walk in these, and only when I'm going out in public. I wear different sandals around the house, and some cheap ones to the beach (which are older and have held up far better). These have been nowhere but in my vehicle and on pavement/floors. For the price I paid, that is ridiculous to fall apart so soon. I'll never buy this brand again, and will also avoid this type of sole in the future.
