I loved the shoes right out of the box. The straps are supper soft, the shoe is very comfortable. Unfortunately I had to return them.  Many years ago I broke my left small toe, and dislocated my right little toe.  The left shoe fit kind of good but with the right foot it was hard to keep the strap on my toe, and figured after a while of adjusting I would get real irritated. Otherwise, I would have purchased another pair. Great with jeans, and skirts, dress up or down
