Step 1:
Fold the first ribbon in half. Insert the two ends from the top, between the strap and the footbed, positioning the folded center on the toe post.

Starting from the right side, take the ends of the two ribbons in different colors. Place the second ribbon over the first, then thread it through the strap and loop. Pull tight to secure.
