I read the reviews on Amazon about this shoe running too narrow that the straps hurt people's feet.  So I thought I would order a wide shoe so this wouldn't happen.  My foot is not wide, but its more wide than narrow so I thought better safe to get a pair that don't hurt...wrong.  they were too big!  The straps are all elastic bands, which is hard to tell in the picture. The only piece that is leather is the center strip and the ankle strap and a couple of connector pieces.  All leather would be nicer and most people probably wouldn't have issues with them hurting.  The other thing to note about this shoe is that you cannot tighten the ankle strap, they are made with leather and elastic on the sides for stretch. There is no buckle, so these have to fit perfectly (fat chance).  Also, the heel was slightly narrow, which I thought was weird.  I am giving them 2 stars because they are cute but not great for fit and design.
