I fell in love with these sandals and was willing to spend over $100 for the difficult-to-find gorgeous matte chalk off-white color... and they are just beautiful, comfortable and classy looking out of the box and for the first couple wears. Unfortunately, despite great care and shoe leather protector, they started peeling along the tip of the toes and cracking all along the sole where shoe bent while walking. Didn't stay nice very long at all. Definitely NOT what I expected of a "leather" Coach product and for that price.
