Also, my feet have increased in size some so I was needing new shoes. They break near the top. I bought a pair of similar sandals last year for my husband. Now, this comes with a caveat. Other than that Ive got no complaints. I was gentle with them, didnt mistreat them. The case fits great and looks awesome i worked in fire alarm testing and they were invaluable for bell tests on and off all day. For those with slightly wider waist and bust, Id advise for a size larger as its slightly tight and narrow across the bust area. While this was all occurring regarding a transaction directly with M & D I decided to check out the same pair from Amazon.
