Although in my opinion this is a very pretty sandal, There are two problems, 1- The size is not accurate by any means. I wear a size 7 in every shoe style and this is by Far not an accurate size 7. These run Much Lager than normal. 2- TOO Much Velcro is openly exposed when closed. I have normal size 7 feet and I am not a large woman and do Not have swelling on my feet, yet the Velcro straps are too short therefore leaving too much of the strap exposed. The exposure of so much Velcro as we know will eventually pick up every bit of lint, hair, dust, and anything else you walk near. Not pretty.
