easy sandal refashion

For ages I've been annoyed that these lovely sandals my husband bought me when we were on holidays were so hard to wear. First, the ankle strap was hard to do up quickly and then the strap was uncomfortable any way. And of course, they weren't that practical for the beach because you couldnt slip them on and off.

With summer on the way here in australia, we were going to the beach so I decided to get radicle and just cut off the strap and part that attached to it. Two snips later-
Now they are very comfortable and so easy to put on! hurray !!

I've always though shoes were hard to refashion, but seeing what you guys have been able to do has inspired me- thanks.
Now I ve two nice straps as well. have to think about them....
