I recently ordered three sandals from Amazon: a pair of white Keen Women's Uneek in 8.5, a pair of white/gray Ryka Women's Savannah in 7.5 wide and a pair of these in rainbow tie-dye in the Big Kid size 6.  I really, really wanted to be able to keep one of the white sandals.  (I'm trying to find a sandal to wear with white pants.)  I couldn't do it.  The other sandals were too tight across the top of my foot--the Keen Uneeks had a stretchy membrane that was way too firm and tight and the straps on the Ryka were still too tight even when I attached the Velcro at the loosest possible spot.  These boy's Newports are still a little tighter than I would like, but the velcro actually attaches completely, LOL, the neoprene area is smaller and softer than the Uneek, and they feel as though they will loosen and be fine.  With all these bright colors, my plan is that I will still be able to wear these with my white summer pants, as long as I choose a shirt in any one of the tie-dye colors.  See, I meant to wear this--it matches the shirt!  ;-)
