This was the first pair of Crocs I ever bought.  I never liked the original even though I know they were very comfortable. These Crocs are very stylish.  Also, quite comfortable for having higher heels.  However, I usually wear athletic shoes or shoes with flat heels, so I was not able to wear them all day.  But if you are used to wearing high heels, you will find these very comfortable. I decided to keep them because they will do well for a special occasion where I won't have to wear them all day such as at work where I have to walk a lot and climb stairs. Very cute shoes!!
