Step 4Install the straps
I bought dog leashes from Big Lots for $1.50 each. I used one on each sandal with very little waste.
You need to cut the stitching on the leash so you're left with a straight strap.
Then get a tiny screwdriver and a decent-sized flathead. Use the tiny one to wedge open the first slot for your straps and the flathead to push it through.
The toe strap should run down into the sole, then come over and across. If you do it the other way, it's really difficult to adjust the toe strap when it's on your foot--you have to take your sandal off to adjust it.
I got both sides of the toe strap pushed through, and adjusted to what I thought would be about the right length (it's one piece that runs around my heel). Then I cut the strap and pushed the remainder through the heel slots. I left the heels strap uncut till I sewed the buckle on.
