These sandals are expensive but worth it.  They will probably last until I decide it is time to replace them.  The fit is perfect and I like that they don't flop around on your foot making them feel very secure.  I haven't bought many sandals with a strap around the heel but think I'm going to look for this style more often. It is a good option for a narrow, skinny foot like mine because they actually STAY on your foot!
