I have have my h2 sandal for over 3 year , and have put well over 1k mile on mine . around town , in the water , and on the trail . they have not wear out or fall apart , or lose color . I do have to have a shoe repairman reinforce the seam on the fabric where the side panel meet the sole , maybe 100 mile ago , but after 1k mile , I guess a little seam repair be more than reasonable . I just buy another pair , on sale , but they be still in the box cause the old one be still go strong .
