They sit very high on the car (there are others on the market that sit much lower)And if you lose the manual then fitting at the correct distance could be a problem, as the X1 has no marks on the side rails to help where to position the rack. The product itself looks shiny, and really nice. In the world of flip flops does it really matter? Nah. not bad quality. Very impressed with this shoes, as I have wide feet and struggle to find cute sandals! Contemplating buying other colors The box came practically broken and smooshed not to mention the left heel is scratched. Another excellent story about Krian and his friends. After 8 hours on my feet, I had absolutely no complaints. They are super stylist.
