Dansko strap shortening

elpgal

I tried these sandals (Dansko Surraya) yesterday and found the ankle strap to be too loose. Another hole would have helped but it would bring the buckle very close to the cross-wise strap. Do you folk any other ideas on how to shorten the strap?

I think you would need to take it to a cobbler and ask.

Did you try a smaller size to see if the strap would not be too long?

Maya, I am trying to see if a store in the mall carries it. That way, I will be able to walk them to a cobbler right away.

San, yes I did try that. With a size smaller, my toe is in danger of popping out when I walk. When I stand, it looks fine. I decided to err on the side of the larger size.

Taylor, I am somwhat wary of the red patent, but I am tired of wearing blah shoes and want to push my boundaries a little. I figured that starting with colorful shoes under pants might be a good baby step.

That is a great way to start adding color. You can take the dullest out fit and add a red shoes peeking out...instant style bump:)

I am all for baby steps too:)
