text: I wanted to love them, I really did - they feel so cushy on the soles of my feet. Alas, they're too narrow - my feet were pushing the straps on the sides way out - after only a few minutes, it feels like my feet are trapped in a too-tight hug. If I could figure some way to loosen them even further, it may be OK -- if I can figure out how to replace the cord that you use to tighten them with a longer cord, I may be able to make these work.
