This is my second pair of Santa Cruz loafers. The first pair I got were the originals that had the rough cut front and these have a bit nicer stitching. The question everyone seems to ask is are they as comfortable as the originals? Yes, they are. Fit the same and have the same insole. Apparently there are some other Crocs that the soles fall apart and aren't very good. These are just like the originals and are still crazy comfortable. Ive had them for a couple of months and they are holding up just like the originals.
