These shoes are *almost* great except for the fact that one of the straps is so tight it hurts and the other is dangling off the right shoe. On the left side, one of the straps is too tight and the other is fine. I don't know what the hell happened when they were made, but the straps were definitely different sizes. I'm good at sewing so I clipped a loose strap to tighten and used the excess to loosen a tight strap, but if I wanted to make my own shoes I would. Not even close to worth the price.
