I've been buying these shoes for years now, and the last 2 pairs fell apart with in 2 weeks of wearing them. The heal removes from the wedge cork platform; and the elastic strap stretches and breaks completely. I DO wear them everyday, but, I wore them everyday before and I was able to go almost 9 months before needing a new pair. They're just not the same anymore, its a shame because they're so cute and comfortable.
