I have owned these for a year. They are still very comfortable. A couple of other reviewers complained about the "leather" not being leather. They are advertised as "PU leather" which is obviously (well, to me at least) not leather. (PU means polyurethane.) Normally I don't go for PU, but the comfort of these won me over, and the "leather" has held up great. There are a couple of cons: 1. the black outsole is glued to the cork, and it has come loose on both of my shoes - so I super glued them back on (not perfect, but it's the bottom of the shoe so no one notices). See picture. 2. the super soft footbed liner also came unglued from the whatever cushy thing it is covering, but not visibly - I can just feel it kind of stick to my foot and pull away from the support material as I walk. Hard to describe. See other picture. The PU leather has held up remarkably well considering I have a tendency to smack my feet together as I walk, which of course also bangs the shoes together. I do not reverse these but keep them black all the time, and I think the "leather" looks very natural, not cheap or fake at all.

If anyone from Modzori reads this, I would certainly advise using a better adhesive in your manufacturing process on both the sole and the footbed. Also, it's hard to tell but it looks like maybe the clasp has been moved from the outside of the ankle strap to the inside since I bought my pair last summer - this is ill-advised, if true. I would be bashing them into my opposite ankle nonstop and chopping my skin to bits.
