These sandals are decent quality for the price - except for the velcro straps. I did read reviews with sizing issues and did order a half size smaller. This was suggested by many and I did take particular notice, regarding another review of my same size 9 - The actual issue with these sandals is the velcro strap is not thin in width through extended length. When the strap is slid through bracket, it can not slide through sufficiently to tighten an adjustment around ankle and toes. It stops within the loop bracket, because the rest of the strap that rests on your toes and ankles is wider than the loop bracket.  I own many of these type of sandals and the straps are the same width throughout entire length of  strap, allowing them to be tightened to fit sufficiently around ankles, toes, and heel of foot.
