I LOVED my havaiianas with the surfer image. These are the most comfortable pair of Birkenstock sandals I?ve purchased. Tried these as I thought I would get my swollen feet into them but I cant. 99 which made me sort of grumpy. So why do I get RACINESS brand instead? They are similar length but the resistance is weaker! However, within a few weeks, the velcro fastening kept coming undone, which was actually quite dangerous, as I nearly fell over a few times ! After sleeping in the XL, it stretches out to be too big. Fits and is very sturdy for my cases on top. I used it two weeks, most during my way to work and way back home, or during my walking on the street at weekends. He is able to get them on and off by himself, which I love.
