would have been easier as a two person job as ONE would have to hook on once side and pull and yank on the other. I am happy with my choice. Received it today and my son is already using it for virtual school. The material is softer than most other hard wheels out there which is a good feature. I didnt want flip flops or to spend on keens that wont fit by the summer, so crocs seemed the answer. I wear them on one ear alot so Im not ignoring my girfriend and theyre also comfortable that way. I?m a size 7 and purchased a 7. It?s been 10months. I sat my shoe box beside it to shoe its true height(or lack there of). They are not heavy in the water either.
