"I bought these sandals for our planned vacation. I have had other Madden sandals which I liked very much, but could not get the same ones so searched for something similar. I bought these sandals, and even before we went on our vacation, after only wearing twice, the thin leather straps starting ripping away from the strap on the side of the shoes. I ended up cutting one thin strap off right away, but by the next wear, another one broke. I did bring them on our vacation, but had to toss them after two more wears. I would definitely NOT recommend these sandals!"
