Dune sandals, cut or return?

I have these sandals really comfy and soft underfoot. However, the back strap has no give in it and it pushes your feet forward so your toes poke out the front.
Lots of other people have commented in the reviews that this is an issue.
I really like them so do I take a pair of scissors to them and insert a piece of elastic on the inner side under where the top band sits?
Or return them?
I have looked and can't find anything similar which is cushioned as well.

cutting into them is going to look crap!

Id return - Clark’s sandals tend to be well cushioned.

After a lot of googling I have managed to find the same shoe apart from the strap! The Dune have been returned and the Moda in Pelle have arrived. Phew, no need for me to start cutting into a new pair of shoes …

@itsmeagainagain they are exactly the same even the sole and padding is the same. They are called Netty and I think they are cheaper on John Lewis but they wouldn't post to me as offshore. In the end of got them direct from Moda in Pelle.
The elastic of the Dune ones were ridiculous, never known anything with no give.

Weirdly I'm having the complete opposite issue with a similar pair of sandals I have from Next, I got a cobbler to shorten the backstrap but it's stretched again so I've been on the hunt for some with a buckle, this thread has found me at a good time as I'm in a big city with a JL this weekend 🤞🏻.

Crocs do a wedge sandal which is very similar and so comfortable. I bought the Brooklyn ones with lots of thin straps instead of the ones like the above.
