I bought this sandal and walked once around the block. By the time I got back I had cuts on my feet. This is due to the buckle closest to your ankle is on an elastic. So every time you walk the elastic stretches and keeps rubbing on your foot until you have an open cut. I tried sewing it down so it did not move, but that was then uncomfortable to walk in them. Every time I have worn them I ended up with cuts. Cute...but painful ;)
