text: Very cute shoe, pretty comfortable inside...BUT - the strap is way too far up on the shoe and cuts right into your ankle, if you can even get it closed. The strap was not only too short (the velcro - yes, cheap velcro on a shoe this expensive - appears to be less than an inch long!!), but so high up that there simply wasn't room for my foot or ankle outside the actual body of the shoe! I couldn't even buckle them. They are being returned. Such a shame. Such a bad design. Alegria should know that their market is people with difficult and damaged feet and allow for a little extra room on straps! So silly.
