The original Santa Cruz was a great shoe. This new version I got first off doesn't fit as well, smaller more stiff but the worst thing is this mystery white stain that appeared on the top of the right shoe after getting wet. Then it happened to the second of the 3 pairs I got at an outlet store in Frisco, TX. The mystery white stain completely ruins the shoe and will not come out. It is clear its some sort of flaw in manufacturing. It appears Crocs are off their rocker lately. Seem to have made some really bad decisions lately in their corporate office. Seems more and more companies ONLY care about their stock holders/owners profit and NOT about their customers. That kind of crazy philosophy will come back to bite companies with such foolish approaches. No more Crocs for me especially after talking to their customer service department.
