These sandals are cute, fit well, are comfortable, BUT I sound a bit like Darth Vader when I walk in them. A pillow of air whooshes out of the right shoe only with each step...annoying, but I decided to put up with that and hope it would eventually go away; it hasn't.

The deal breaker for me was this morning when I got out of my car to go in to work. " Snap!"  The leather broke right where it goes into the side of the shoe! If it had slipped out of the hole, that would be fixable, but this is not. The leather just gave way. The shoes are not tight, I have only worn them maybe 5 or 6 times since I bought them a little over two months ago, and most of the time I spent in them, I was sitting down! Bass shoes should certainly last longer than that! I have had many through the years, but my loyalty is waning. I don't think their quality control is what it used to be.

So the lesson is, if you choose to try these, wear them a lot in that first month to make sure they are sound, so you can return them if they aren't. There are too many other reviewers with identical stories to mine. I spend literally thousands at Amazon and have had to return maybe three percent of what I have purchased.  I am hoping Amazon will do the right thing and either send a full refund or another pair...their return policy doesn't cut it for situations like this.

UPDATE:  Am now on my 4th pair of these sandals.  They fit so well and are so comfortable...BUT I broke another 6-month-old pair yesterday!  I guess I just have to decide if I am willing to pay $30+ dollars for these otherwise-fabulous "disposable" sandals!
