This is my second pair. They are the most comfortable sandals I have ever worn. They are pretty sturdy and can take wear and tear. EXCEPT, and this is the only drawback, the shearling tends to either come off or turn black with a lot of wear. Even without the shearling, they are still very comfortable. I still wear my old ones all they time and they are still holding together well (minus the shearling). Probably not an everyday sandal, more like a weekly sandal or special occasion sandal.
