These shoes are *almost* great except one of the straps is so tight it hurts and the other on the right shoe is loose. On the left, one of the straps is too tight and the other is fine. I don't know what the heck 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.
