I purchased these shoes and, upon putting them on, the cheap plastic buckle that the strap slides through broke. Since I was on vacation, I had no choice but to continue to try to use the shoes (didn't bring an extra pair for exercise), and the toes proceeded to rip out. Finally, I couldn't wear them anymore as the other strap buckle completely broke. These are Vibram knock-offs that have zero tolerance for wear. Complete junk is an understatement.
