Hi Yana, thank you for your thoughtful review! We’re glad to hear that you find the sandals comfy and appreciate the chunkiness of the design! It’s not uncommon for fisherman sandals to need a bit of breaking in, especially for those with narrow/bony feet. We recommend wearing them gradually and maybe even with socks at first to help the material soften and mold to your foot shape. We’re sorry to hear about the tag adhesive—it sounds like it got a bit clingy! If you have any concerns or need tips on how to address that, feel free to let us know. Enjoy your sandals, and thanks for choosing us!
