This was my second pair of Sanuk shoes. My first pair looked very similar to this pair but I wore them out for a year after almost daily use. I wanted to continue the party and bought it. When I first wore them they were terrible (unlike my old pair which were perfect from day one and also bought online). I was hoping they would break through but they keep tearing at my feet at the base of my toes on each side. The stitching of the upper has been designed so that it presses against the inside of the shoe. This is not an anomaly on a pair as I received a second pair of the same shoe in a different color and they do the same thing. Both pairs will be recycled and I will no longer buy Sanuk shoes.
