text: Really wanted to love these shoes, but the front strap proved too small/short for my feet. I wanted to test them out by wearing them on a short trek of a few blocks down the road to a nearby coffeeshop - the few blocks down the road turned my big toes red/purple, and i was tempted to take them off and walk barefoot after a block or so of my short journey. I compared them to a similar style i already have, which fits fine - the width matches up, so the issue is that the front strap is too short (maybe a half inch more lee-way and they might have been able to work). I know some reviewers mentioned the shoes growing more comfortable after a few wearings, but these aren't just uncomfortable, they are painful on my feet, and are unwearable to me. I am very disappointed because i was looking forward to these and they are very cute.
