These were exactly what I had been looking for and the price was right. I grabbed them up and I'm so glad I did.<br />First things first, the straps are not adjustable. You put your feet in through the back part of the sandal, which zips. Once I got them on, they did fit sort of oddly. The straps across the front of my feet were perfect. The ones across the tops off my feet were a little bit loose, but not uncomfortably so. The straps around my ankles were tight. Like... visably. I wasn't thrilled, but hoped they would stretch out over time. The straps are sewn directly into the frame of the sandal on one side and sewn in with elastic on the other side. I also want to say I don't have like weirdly large ankles or anything. I have athletic calves from cycling, but my ankles are actually fairly slender.<br /><br />I've been wearing the sandals for about five days now and they're actually much more comfortable already. I think they just need to be broken in. I wore them to work the other day where I was on my feet for 8 hours and they were totally comfortable.<br /><br />Honestly, the left one still seems a little tight around the ankle, but I'm hoping this will loosen up before I wear them on the vacation I bought them to wear on.
