My sandals self destructed while I was on vacation so I'm trying to make my own out of some random poly/cotton canvas and a cut up old boot mat. Here's an initial stab at a layout for the straps. This is not what I'll end up with, but it's more comfortable than I expected.

I learned to make nets one summer vacation when garlic came in these ridiculously enormous plastic bags seemingly designed to mildew before you could eat them all

in reply to Rivikah • •@Rivikah are the straps going to be fixed, except for the one that goes behind the ankle that will have a way to open?
(my attempts at making sandals failed because of the straps positions, so I'm trying to see if there is a better option than what I did)

It's not quite right yet either.
