the first month, it felt great, snug and well made and comfortable. unfortunately, the heel softened too much and the suede between the toes loosened so much that it's difficult to wear without the toes having to apply extra pressure to keep it from slipping off. it's way cuter than the other standard fitflop which i have and wore out to a nub, but for some reason this style (maybe the suede) just loosened too much. too bad. too pricey for a sandal that you can't wear at least a full year?
