I got these shoes when they were in "Today's Deal" and probably would have returned them except the price was so good.  The ankle straps were so tight that I couldn't get the velco to close except for the last bit - I see that others had the same issue.  I figured for the price, I could get the straps adjusted.  BUT on the 2nd day that I was wearing them, I realized the straps were fitting perfectly - they had stretched out!  I tightened the velco on the ankle and on the toe, so the fit was secure and comfortable.
