I started off with a pair of these Hasbeens and I was so excited to try them out. I have an easy 6 minute walk to work and by the time I was 500 feet out of my house I knew I had a problem. The right ankle strap kept stretching to the point where it no longer fit and my foot just flopped around. This caused for some serious friction and nasty blisters. (This is after i wore the shoes around my apartment a couple times). I got through the day by covering every possible inch of skin in Band-Aids. So I thought, this is a fluke. These shoes are great quality. So I ordered a replacement pair. Just received them today and put them on, took 5 steps and behold, the left ankle strap is now so stretched out, the tightest buckle hole lines up with the loosest hole on the other shoe. A good 2 inches that its streched. I want to love these shoes. They're just so damned cute I want them. But I don't think it's going to work out.
