I really loved these sandals and my daughter did too. I was already surprised by the steep duties I got charged with unexpectedly in shipping to the US, but I thought I was investing in sandals that could be passed down to my younger kids. Unfortunately after two weeks, one of the straps on both of my daughter's sandals broke when she was playing normally. She hadn't left them out in the sun to my knowledge, maybe they had been in a warm car. But if they can't handle even a warm car, then these just are not durable for kids to wear. I'm disappointed!
