When they first arrived and I put them on they were VERY snug between my toes - so snug I though "uh oh, these 'not so inexpensive' sandals are going to have to go back." I've kept sandals that are too snug before, with the intention of wearing them for limited times, but these were too expensive for limited use or uncomfortable wear. But no matter, after a couple days of wearing, the leather straps have stretched a bit to fit my feet and I'm loving them. You can tell they are extremely well made and will last a while. Glad I purchased.
