The rosewood handle is lovely and there is a full tang running through the handle with 3 rivets. Shocked to find the braided parts in the front to be made of leather. I’m very happy with my case. and these should last a bit longer than the Classic Slide sandal which I also own. These are useful, but it would have been a nice touch if HoMedics had included some type of pouch on the outside to hold the cell phone clips. The sole makes them very stable to walk in on smooth floors. Material quality: Pass the QC (quality Control) so 5 star for that. And again: $20. The bag itself was fantastic. Have worn sketchers a few Years now and cant see myself wearing anything different.
