I will keep these sandles only because I do like the style, and I am tried of looking for a style I like.  The buckle as mentioned in the earlier review is WAY too short.  However, I can not agree that these are made real well.  Yes, they are leather, but they are extremely light weight and corners were cut in the making of them.  Over all, I paid too much for these shoes.  I would not recommend paying the price they are asking.
