"These shoes are SO comfy! The middle strap around the foot is a little bit loose but if you do up the ankle strap as it should be then they do not budge. Very easy to walk in. The thick swede strap that goes over the bridge of the foot has rounded edges and is slightly padded so that they do not cut in at all. I am usually an 8 to 8.5 in pumps and heels as I like to leave some room for extra padding. I ordered an 8 and they fit pretty much perfectly with no extra padding needed."
