I love the Sofft brand styling and shoes. That said, my foot is narrow and long and I have a narrow heel. I need to be able to adjust the strap that fits around the back of the foot as well as the one that fits over it. Because these loop through the slot in the back they allow me to adjust both parts. I am delighted that I finally found a pair of sandals that I can keep. I am going out tonight sporting my new sandals.
