These appeared to be really comfortable and sturdy shoes, however both straps were so short that they barely reached the tip of the Velcro connection. I couldn't close them over my foot without showing over half of the black Velcro area on the bottom strap. That really ruined the look of the shoe. I ordered medium but usually need a wide hoping they might work since they did not carry a wide. I had to return them. I do have a very high instep and wish the brand would offer wide and double wide widths.
