At first, I loved these sandals. I was having a lot of pain in my feet from wearing cheap sandals on tile floor and outside (I almost always wear sandals) - I needed a good sandal with arch support. After doing my research and trying these on in a local store, I decided to buy them from Amazon since they were selling them for less money. The pain in my feet went away within days (The reason this is getting 3 stars) and I was amazed! I wore them daily for about 3 months and then I noticed there was a strange feel to them - like something was stuck in my shoe. Upon inspection, I learned that the fabric/material on the top of the sandal (where the foot sits) was rubbing off in multiple places. WTH????? A pair of shoes that retail for $70.00 and this is the "quality"? I kept them because I wanted to give an accurate and complete review on them. I've had them for about 9 months now and about 75% of the the brown material where the foot sits has rubbed off (some of the material on the side of the sandal has come off as well. The arch support is still amazing, but I don't like how they look with material coming off in most places. I would recommend them for arch support. But if you expect expensive shoes to be durable, look for a different sandal.
