I'm glad I took the advice to buy a size smaller. I normally wear a 6 1/2 or 7, but I bought a 6. They fit perfectly. I wondered how I would like the toe strap since I don't like wearing flip-flops, but the Chacos are much more comfortable than flip-flops. The toe strap does not rub between the toes, probably because it doesn't slide. The straps were a little long, and almost dragged on the ground, but there are videos on the internet that show how to make a knot, tucking them away.
