Unfortunately I dont see a way around this if you have a sport band. And everything tightened up perfectly after that. And I havent used it yet, which Im glad I didnt. Have had a pair of original crocs for years. 5 inches, or 21. I purchased this for my sons wedding in November. The holes for charging dont line up right, nor does the hole for the indicator light on the front. I found the padded loop able to slide down far enough to work with a womans style step-through bike. Good for FPS gaming, Im a Battlefield player and no issues with accidental key strokesWhat I would have preferred?1. I am a true size 8.
