Top Tiras Flip Flop

I loved my first pair of Havaianas flip flops, but after my dog chewed one of them up, I had to find a replacement. I found what I thought was a perfect match here, and ordered it. When I first took it out of the package I noticed that the straps were significantly wider than my first ones, but that didn't bother me. What bothered me was when I put them on, and the straps were excessively long and wide, sticking out the sides of the sandal. Very unattractive as well as impractical. How are they supposed to stay on my feet? I dug up one of my old ones to try on just for comparison, and saw that yes, the straps on that one were an appropriate length.
