These aren't quite as comfortable as I'd hoped, still it's a way for me to be able to wear crocs to school.  The shoe is quite wide in the toe box and the heel isn't "too" wide.  I have a narrow heel, so that's always a problem.  They aren't as "cush-y" as my regular crocs, but they are comfortable.  I do find that (unlike my regular crocs) I do need to take them off as soon as I get home from school - the arch isn't in quite the right place (I did try on my daughter's, so I knew I knew I needed a bigger size - actually an 8 1/2 would have been perfect - but since they don't come in 1/2 sizes...I had to go with a 9).  I would recommend this shoe to those who like the "bounce-i-ness" of a croc sole, but need something a little dressier than regular crocs.
