				<description>&#060;p&#062;That's a good point, Gigi - I have ridiculously high volume feet with a big ol' bump on my instep (like a knuckle joint, almost, but not flexible) and they fit on me. I should have known that was a sign they'd be too loose on others, because I can almost never wear shoes with any sort of instep strap.
&#060;/p&#062;

				<description>&#060;p&#062;Hey, Karymk, I tried them on too. I was OK with the ankle straps fitting my ankle&#038;nbsp;reasonably well (and I have small ankles), but my problem was the horizontal strap that goes across the foot (the strap without the buckle). It was WAY too big and puffed out at the sides. Even the SA said that if I went a half size down (I often wear a half size smaller in heels), the strap would still be too big. I don't have a very high-volume foot (my foot is kind of flat), so if you have a &#034;thicker&#034; foot (don't know what to call it) or a very high arch, maybe this shoe would work better on you.
&#060;/p&#062;

				<description>&#060;p&#062;Tried them on! unfortunately, they have straps that&#038;nbsp;&#060;div&#062;stick out way beyond the foot, even when buckled. &#038;nbsp;I tried two different sizes just to be sure, and yep, the shoe that did actually fit had ankle straps that were too wide even when buckled. &#038;nbsp;Hard to explain, but there is a double strap and it is not the kind that winds around the ankle. &#038;nbsp;&#060;/div&#062;
&#060;/p&#062;

				<description>&#060;p&#062;I tried them on very quickly. The floor model was a 6 (I'm usually a 6.5) so it's hard to judge. They fit just like the Okalas but the ankle strap is not as wide so it feels a bit less secure (probably just an illusion). The T strap was comfortable despite&#038;nbsp;my very very high instep. It's possible the ankle straps would be tight on some people, since I had to buckle them&#038;nbsp;on the largest holes.
&#060;/p&#062;

				<description>&#060;p&#062;I was just at Nordstrom and noticed a new(?) addition to the Sam Edelman&#038;nbsp;family: Okala's cousin, the Ollie (I think?). It's the same exact base as the Okala but it has straps with flat studs. It's clearly going for the Valentino Rockstud look. Pretty successful, in my opinion, and I'm not always a fan of knockoffs. Though it does lack a certain something of the originals. I thought some of you might be interested - I'm unlikely to buy them myself.&#038;nbsp;I can't find them online yet, but here's my bad photo.
&#060;/p&#062;
