I first purchased a pair of Karrimor on-line several years ago and was thrilled. The pair lasted me 4 years. I then bought a second pair through Sports Direct near my home and a strap broke after one year. I then purchased another pair in time for summer this year and the velcro stopped working - it lasted six months. I have now gone back to on-line order (this is my last attempt for your product) and if I have such poor performance again, that will be the last you see of me. The sandals have now arrived and I note the product actually came from Sports Direct which is what I was trying to avoid.. Also as can be seen in the photo, the product is marked down from £54.99 to £26.99 and I paid £54.98 including delivery of £6.00 - Had I known I could have gone to my local Sports Direct in Staines which is 10min walk from my home. Feeling hard done by.
