text: These shoes look great but are tight across the foot and the strap around the ankel should be at least an inch ot two longer.  I can do them up but just barely which makes them more uncomfortable and I have an average ankle, it's nor large or skinny. I have never had this issue before. I do think it is a manufacturer issue. They are very cute though so if you have a thin leg I'm sure these would be great for you.
