The first 2 pair I had lasted nearly a year each with 5 day/ week use in a pool and fit in my normal size. This time I had to size up and then the sole pulled away at the toe, where is folds upward over the top of the shoe. And then it just peeled all the way off - while I was wearing them. At least I was in the pool, when they failed. The shoes hit the trash bin and I walked home barefoot, Crossed them off my list, which is a shame as they hd been a well priced, well made product - but not any more
