I always wondered what all the fuss was about Crocs, but never tried them out because the original clog style wasn't something I thought I'd wear. But then I saw these sandals and thought I would give them a try. Now life is good, and I am never going back!

These take the place of the slip-ons I wear everywhere in spring and summer. They are plastic, so they don't get dirty like my other slides, and wash easily when needed. The small wedge is a nice lift and provides great support. The footbed is phenomenal -- firm and cushy, and actually bounces back when you walk. No wonder chefs swear by Crocs -- they are great if you're on your feet all day, especially on a hard floor. I was running late one day and had to run about a mile in these to save time -- and I was pleasantly surprised that they were more comfortable than any running shoe I've had. And these shoes look great -- they aren't gargantuan like other plastic shoes, and they don't even look plastic (I can only vouch for brown and black)!

A note about the size. I like these to be a bit snug so that my feet don't move around too much. Therefore, I ordered a size down. The straps were a little tight the first two times I wore them, but then stretched to accomodate my foot. You also can throw them in the dryer for a few minutes and stretch them that way. But my foot is a bit narrow, and I occasionally can wear a smaller size. If you are a true whole size, you might try your actual size to get the right foot length, but I would not recommend going a size up.

It's worth the effort getting the right fit. I now wear these two and from work just because they are so comfortable. At the end of the day when I take off my work shoes and put these on, I feel all my cares melt away. They are that good.
