Why do I ever doubt the always reliable Zappos reviews? Yes, the back strap on this shoe is too long and falls off. I wish I could order a 6.5, but the smallest it comes in is 7. I ordered a double wide and the width was good. I was suprised, and at first disappointed, to see that this fabric was
almost a shiny silk - very dressy, and very incongruous for an espadrille. Shouldn't a casual shoe like this be linen or cotton? But once I put it on my foot, it looked really nice and since once it's on your foot you don't see the rope-like wedge, that incongruity disappears. Still,
Bella-Vita, when you redesign this shoe to correct the length of the back strap, maybe you could dress down the fabric, or change the heel to faux wood.
