Since the strap is adjustable, I can make it to the mask barely touches my face. Overall, I was disappointed in these shoes. I would repurchase or recommend to others. I always wear a 6. EDIT: The seller reached out to me and offered me $15 to remove this comment. Its the weirdest thing, but my daughter has other pedipeds in the same size that fit her beautifully, and for whatever reason this shoe is waaaay too big for her ??? Its still a great shoe, we just have to wait until she grows into them. 5" or lower - so women with a ton of taller heels beware! i ordered that size. The product looks good, and probably perfect for our needs. This review is for the product that Ron sold, so make sure to buy from this seller.
