Am so happy with these sandals, the upper strap may be a little snug but give it a chance, it will stretch. These are really good-looking, only wish they were available in more colors! I wear a size 6.5 but the 6 works well for me. Also my feet are narrow, so the tight strap may be problematic for some. A hot hair dryer and some patience as you stretch the strap, will help make these more comfortable.
