Step 5Sew the straps
I bought the buckles for $1.50 each at Hobby Lobby. I looked for a pull-adjustable strap like on my Chacos, but couldn't find one in my blue-collar town.
I sewed the buckle on the large strap first. Then I ran the strap around my heel and clipped it, then cut the heel spacer straps. These straps are basically just loops. They're NOT the same length, b/c I wanted the strap to avoid the bony parts of my ankle.
I pulled the outside of the spacer strap up to the heel strap, then pulled the inside up, over the heel strap and down, then sewed through it, so I ended up sewing through 3 layers.
I made these a little longer than they should have been, which works better than making them too short, since they pull the heel strap down if they're too short.
