Listen Joomra: Design Change Proposal Fix a Major Error in This Shoe

Let me start by saying that I love, love, love these shoes. I had severe pain in one foot, which I eventually realized didn't get better until I took my shoes off - whatever shoes I was wearing. It finally dawned on me (oh!) to look at the sandals. It was a cheap enough entry point to try them out and see if there was a difference. Well they did it right away. My "bad" food may still be chewy, but it doesn't hurt anymore, and at the end of the day I still have a lot of running in me instead of screaming home and my footstool. I ordered my usual shoe size and they fit like a glove. But there is one serious design flaw - a Velcro strap that runs across the instep of the foot. First, it's poorly constructed - you have to FULLY tighten the strap before the female end of the Velcro comes out to tighten it, so if you only need to tighten it halfway, for example. on the foot, well, a pity - there is nothing to connect it with. All Joomra had to do was put about halfway down the sticky part of the velcro, not just a tiny bit at the end to get hooked. like something you would put on a baby. I finally figured out these two issues with the strap and did it as shown in the attached photo. I removed the Velcro completely and inserted the laces. The shoes look more like regular shoes than what my 2 year old will learn to walk in! A hole for the laces had to be drilled on one side of the boot where the strap was attached, but otherwise the lace holes are already in place, so go for it! BTW I ordered another one of these in style 3 which is listed as plus size so you should order one size down which I did - WRONG. They are the same size as style 1 so I had to send them back and get them down to my normal size. Style 3 sneakers, sock jumpsuit type in pink girly camo, AMAZING super cute shoes, can't wait for the right size to arrive. Not to say too much they saved my life - they restored my ability to move around the world pain free and I'm switching to barefoot. They are inexpensive so good even if I only use them for a year. I tried another brand's sandals here at Revain and they were disappointing compared to them - the material is too flimsy and flimsy. They're important, I really don't see them falling apart any time soon. Highly recommended.
