I liked the sandals out of the box but once I put them on that started to change. First, the leather looked plastic-y and the strap at the top of the sandal by my toes was rather tight so the middle of my foot looked like a balloon. (I have a problem buying shoes because I have narrow feet so having a tight shoe was a first for me.) The sandal was comfortable to walk in (I walked around my living room/kitchen area) but when I went to take the sandals off, the little ring thing that holds the strap down came off so now the strap on the left sandal flops around. For what I paid for these sandals I didn't expect them to fall apart 15 minutes after I took them out of the box. They are being returned.
