Hot looking strappy sandals but will the zippers hold up?

About AJ. Valenci - Stretch Microfiber Sandal with Croco-Embossed Wedge
These shoes comes in camel, black, and turquoise. They have three inch croco wedges and mticrofiber straps with stretch to accommodate different foot widths. They do come in Wide and Medium widths as well. The back has a zipper that allows your foot to slide into the shoe. The zipper then secures the shoe on the foot and you're ready to roll. They have a good leather sole and a matching croco toe bed.
I am not really into high shoes that much this summer but these actually feel pretty good on. They don't make me feel unstable or wobbly and they don't hurt my feet. The straps don't dig into my feet or ankles and the stretch allows me to walk in comfort. My issue with these shoes, which I have in the blue and camel, is that the back sippers are tough to pull down. If the zippers don't work, you can't get the shoe on so it is essential that they work properly. Both of my pairs work but the zippers on left shoe of each color seem to want to stick and I get nervous every time I go to put them on. Once on, they feel good and look trendy and cute.
They have a slightly padded foot bed which feels fine. I haven't had any issues with the shoes slipping or blistering my feet and they really do look trendy. They are kind of a cross between the extreme gladiator sandals everyone is wearing and something more classic. The microfiber straps can be wiped clean which is a plus.
If I had more confidence in the zippers, these would rate higher but I just don't. I know it's a matter of time before a zipper sticks and causes issues. Still, at between $19.90 and $24.90, these shoes look much, much more expensive and feel great on for wedges of this height.
My Viewpoint
I like my AJ. Valenci - Stretch Microfiber Sandal with Croco-Embossed Wedge sandals. Even if I just get the summer out of them do to the zippers, they were worth the cost. Those zippers worry me. I am going with 3 stars based just on the sketchy zippers. Otherwise these are 4 star, affordable trendy shoes!
