I was quite excited to receive these shoes. There were seven pretty good reviews about these sandals so I was expecting a little better quality. I guess I can't complain for the $25 price tag (the white sandals I ordered were on sale) but I am returning them and investing that into a nicer pair. Although I absolutely loved the style/design of the shoe I felt the quality was not similar to what other reviewers mentioned. Maybe it was the material of the white ones, the black and tan seemed nicer but I was looking specifically for a white pair. The material of the shoe was not breathable and my foot immediately began to feel like it was going to sweat (I've never had this problem). The material also came with a couple of small scuffs with the rubber-like material missing and the shoe seemed to get dirty very easily in the short time I tried them; I was afraid if I tried cleaning them the material would come off. The arch was not as supportive as I imagined it would be. I really wish that I did not have any of these problems because I have not been able to find a shoe design that I love as much as I did this one. This shoe seemed edgy and classy in its design and I hope I can find one to replace it.
