This has to be one of my favorite crocs, but I'm disappointed in sizing. I buy a pair of these every 3 or so years- typically because someone else takes them from me. They're comfortable and the non-skid tread is incredibly long-lasting. My wife has my pair (that I bought 13 years ago) that she wears every day to work and the tread is still like new- and she wears them both inside and outside every day! They still provide adequate cushioning and are perfect for travel. They're also easy to clean and they don't hold on to smells (that's especially helpful given that your feet will sweat a lot in these).

So why 3 stars? Because of the inconsistent sizing.

I normally wear a woman's 10.5 in most shoes. For boots and athletic shoes, where I'll often wear a thicker sock and want a looser feel, I'll wear a woman's size 11 or a men's 9.5.

All of my previous crocs (in the mule style) have been a size 8 because they tend to be a little large. When purchasing croc loafers, I purchase a size 9/11. I purchased these in a size 8 like I always do and these apparently now fit true to size. I tried on my old 8/10 crocs and they fit loosely and have a little extra space in the back. With the same socks on, I tried on these and they fit exactly with no wiggle room and a firm grip all around my feet.

I wish I had bought the 9/11 crocs, but I didn't expect them to suddenly change their fit or sizing. And I hate the hassle of returning shoes and waiting for new ones. UPS isn't anywhere near me, so it's a major hassle. In any case, I'll end up giving these new ones to my wife and I'll wear the old ones, but it's still a hassle.

Now beyond my petty gripe about sizing, there's one other downside: there's no side vent in these, so your socks and feet get sweaty very quickly. They make another model with the side vents, but then you sacrifice the non-skid tread. So I'm still waiting for that improvement. It really needs some source of ventilation for people who can't just pull their feet out of their shoes all of the time.

All that said, I'll still purchase these again (in a different size) because for the money and quality, they're absolutely worth it. If my family members weren't so eager to "borrow" these from me, I'd still be going strong with my first pair.
