I bought these because regular crocs suck to wear out in the snow, even if it's only a quarter inch deep because of the holes.  Also regulat crocs leave a lot to be desired traction wise.  I need to wear backless shoes due to an issue with the back of my heels and tendons, and options for men are limited.  Compared to reqular crocs, these have better traction, and no holes.  The inside is harder in these due to added support.  Personally, I can't wear them on my feet all day like regular Crocs for this reason.  They're harder on my feet.  Another issue I had, which others with Hagelunds will also have is that the backs of these  are taller than regular crocs, making them fil a little tighter, and also irritating my tendons.  I fixed this issue bu cutting the backs down at work with a band saw, and then sanding the edges round.
All in all a nice shoe.  Just had to do a little modification for myself
