I had a pair of these that I wore for a couple of years, and they finally broke at the end of summer last year. I purchased this new pair in the spring to replace the broken pair. Same style/size, but these feel cheaper. The memory foam started to break down in the heel, and I'm not a heavy person. Today the thong part of the sandal snapped, and I had to stitch it together with fishing line to wear them home. Very disappointed, and I miss my old pair :(
