The straps are very rough which combined with the fact that Merrell continues to fit shoes for people with obesity or puffiness means the straps are loose and uncomfortable . The brands you're looking for are Olukai or Reef, thought I'd give Merrell another shot and unfortunately they continue to make things for a larger audience.
