I have been wearing other Crocs shoes (<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/Crocs-Women-s-Alice-Mary-Jane/dp/B0037KMTD6/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">Crocs Women's Alice Mary Jane</a>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/Crocs-Women-s-Malindi-Flat-Slingback/dp/B001ISKS6E/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">Crocs Women's Malindi Flat Slingback</a>) for a year and found them so comfortable that I am always looking for a new model.  The styling of the Kaela model really appealed to me and I bought them in two colours, gold/espresso and bijou blue/navy.  These colours are really pretty and easy to match to my clothes as they don't look at all plasticky or excessively bright.  There is a microsuede heel grip which really holds the shoe on and, since this model is closed, it is suitable for winter wear with thin socks or tights.  Perhaps it's worth pointing out that if your feet tend to sweat, you might want to look at one of the newer models with more ventilation (like the&nbsp;<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/Crocs-Women-s-Crosmesh-Ballet-Flat/dp/B005CFVU9S/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">Crocs Women's Crosmesh Ballet Flat</a>&nbsp;for example), however obviously to wear in the rain, the closed ones would be better.

My only gripe is that the shape is narrower and the fit tighter than in other models and, had I known that, I would certainly have ordered a larger size.  In fact, I think that might be a good idea with many of their newer more streamlined models.  Sometimes the shape of the sole will give a hint of how they may fit.
