I bought these to try for a renaissance fair.
There is nothing to go between toes, and that first thing of plastic is large enough that I could slide very very far forward in the shoe. I tried various tie methods. All were leaving marks because I had to tie it tight enough that things did not move. I tried going up the calves, and I tried just around the ankle. They are alright, but I could not get it situated in a way that did not shift or move while walking.
