"The band across the toe was a little tight but as i continued to wear the sandal, i would say, the band stretched so now the sandal is no longer tight. I have slightly wide feet so that might have been why the band was tight. My only thing is the fibers around the braiding start to fray, not enough that the shoe falls apart but just enough that it makes it look like you've had the shoe for a while. Overall I love them so much that i'm gonna buy a second pair. Good for dresses, jeans, skirts, shorts. I bought them in brown and I would say they're true to the color in the picture."
