I always worry when I see a shoe designed like this one. I'm always wary that the two little straps at the front will not be comfortable on my (wide due to bunions) feet, but these were very comfortable. I'm usually a 10 in Betsey Johnson shoes, but I had to return the 10 for a 9.5, because they were too long by about an inch at the toe area. They look really cute on, and don't bother the backs of my heels. The strap keeps them secure. Great sandal for the $49 price... I love the little orange tiger on the vamp.
