I wanted a sandal to wear on a cruise to Cozumel.  Since it's very hard to find a sandal that's comfortable as well as feminine, I was stoked to see these.  I ordered them in Coral, but I was disappointed when they arrived.  Quality was satisfactory, but I agree that the design flaw is the top strap on the ankle.  After putting them on, I found that the one strap which was incredibly uncomfortable was also not adjustable.  I suggest maybe elastic.  I had plenty of room in the toe and they were lightweight and cute.  Unfortunately, I had to return them and continue searching.
