I just love these sandals!!! It takes a litte time to fasten all 8 straps, but the headturning effect and the compliments are worth it. I got them in black and I love how they contrast with my skin. One problem I had was getting the 2nd and top straps tight enough, but that’s because I have long, skinny ankles. Happily I was able to fix that minor problem by adding a few holes in the straps to make it fit. I wish that they had these in more color and size options because I would buy them in a heartbeat!!!
