    Did you guys find the top metatarsal strap to be way too long? I don't really tighten mine that much at all and the end of it is dragging around on the floor. Has anyone found themselves having to cut it down?

    Mine are a bit long, but I think it would look stupid to cut them. Just make sure not to stand on them lol

    Define "bit long". If I tighten mine any more more than just laying them acroas the velcro without pulling I have 1/2" sticking out last the bottom of my foot.

    Yes they are way too long, I kind of bend them back towards my heel, they also tend to stick to the laces and make them all fluffy. Rather annoying - they're an excellent shoe apart from that!

    Yes. Shortened then by folding over and taping with electrical tape. Works great.

    I like that. I can't bring myself to cut it since they finished the strap with the nice metal casing around it. Definitely would do it if I had a way to re-fit the end cap though.
