I have a hard time with shoes and I'm very picky, so finding these was a nice experience.I have somewhat short feet but usually get 9.5 due to needing a larger size for width. Per some review recommendations (thanks ladies!), I sized down to 9 and they fit great, length and width. Although the braided material is not stretchy, there is a bit of forgiveness. I have a bit of swelling but I was able to get these on and they are not suffocating.The lowest strap that goes to the outside of my ankle is adjustable by moving the end of the strap (where it loops around the back strap) up and down a little to I guess tighten it if needed (not there yet due to the swelling). Although straps are pretty snug now (not too tight), I can imagine the possibility of them getting looser with time, but at least that one strap can be tightened.They make a bit of squeaky noise which I hope will dissipate with time.I've not walked around much yet, will be testing them out this weekend, but I've had them on in the house for several hours. I can feel the straps, it's not painful, but it's enough to make me look forward to taking them off. I'm concerned about sweat now that it's summer, hopefully these won't make that awful noise, but the material of the soles seems like it may not absorb moisture so we'll see.If these become an issue, will update review, but so far so good. I always call it a win if I can find a somewhat comfortable shoe that fits!
