Havaianas straps are extremely loose?
So I just bought a pair of those square-toe Havaianas (via ASOS which displays UK sizing). I ordered a size 3-4 and another that is a size 4.5-5 (UK women's sizing).. and I usually wear a 4 or 4.5 in most shoes.
The footbed of the 4.5-5 is definitely the best fit, but the straps on both pairs are HUGE. Like, baggy! Even on the 3-4 they actually HOVER above my foot even though the sandal is too small for me. I don't even have a weird foot, they're very average, not too narrow or too wide, average-length toes, normal arches.. etc. For anyone who actually fits the 3-4 size, the straps would be WAY too big for them... but this style is so popular and so many people have them I feel like I must be missing something or this would be a well-known complaint?
I've heard that Havaianas tend to shrink.. how? Like in the sun? With heat? And what part? The footbed or the straps or both? Are we wearing them "baggy"? How snug should I expect the straps to be? If the roominess is there intentionally to accommodate room for shrinking, how can I expedite that process?
