Bought 5 pairs of ergonomic flip flops to help my recent foot pain.  I returned all but these. I do have some plantar fasciitis and I think the pain was caused by wearing very flat Reef flip flops. I can't wear a super high arch due to an old foot injury.  These Crocs are very comfortable and cushioned. They do make me feel tipped forward just slightly but not uncomfortably. I don't think I'd use them for long walks but they are fine for around town and my feet have stopped hurting. The straps look nice, almost like leather. I'd prefer black to pewter, it is a little shiny for my preference but still attractive.  The (big)  downside for me is that, like other Crocs, they are slippery when sweaty or wet.
