I was very excited to get these, but I was very disappointed. The crisscross straps are very tight, and don't have any give at all (and I actually have feet that are on the narrow side of normal). I almost had to force my feet in to the front portion. Once I had them on, the straps just cut into my feet in weird places. The pair I got ended up actually being a bit too big for me (silly Teva sizing), and even with this, the front was still too tight. I didn't dare try and force my feet into a smaller size!
