I really like the look of this simple shoe and thought it would be great to throw on and run to the store. The insole, however, is so bumpy (I'm guessing that's what's supposed to make them so comfortable??)that I can't keep them on for more than a few minutes without the bottoms of my feet being irritated. I'm not a regular Crocs wearer, so I don't know if that's just something that takes getting used to, but I'm opting for a nice gel insert to be able to wear them. I usually wear an 8.5, and the 9 is perect-not big and sloppy at all.
