Did you know your FitMyFoot Sandal Straps are adjustable? It's one of the custom features of the FitMyFoot sandals that allows them to fit perfectly while preventing some common biomechanics problems caused by the average pair of flip-flops. "Toe scrunch" - the act of scrunching your toes to keep your flip-flop from falling off your feet while walking - makes your feet less able to absorb shock as you walk, causes your internal foot muscles to work harder, and decreases your foot stability. Adjusting your straps so that your feet fit snugly in the sandal and toe scrunch is eliminated means you can walk freely, knowing you're not compromising comfort for the convenience of a flip-flop sandal. If you're wondering how to adjust your straps, see the "How do I adjust my straps?" instructions below.
FitMyFoot sandal straps are not only adjustable, they're exchangeable. There are multiple colors and materials available so that your sandals can be adapted to your choice of outfit or activity.
Men's sandal straps are available in brown leather (+$20), or black, green, navy, or red lycra.
Women's sandal straps are available in brown leather (+$20), or black, navy, or purple lycra.
