Although initially I thought the original clog style Crocs looked awful, I broke down and bought a pair a couple of years ago and I was hooked on the comfort and practicality of being able to wash them in the sink if necessary - never a worry about walking through mud, getting them wet, etc.  Since then I have bought several styles (pretty much loved them all except for the "Marnie").  I'd had my eye on the "Alice" for some time and finally ordered a pair.  I've worn them every day since I got them, and can't say enough good things about them. I wear a size 8 1/2 or 9, and I ordered an 8, knowing Crocs will stretch a little bit to fit your feet.  The fit was perfect and I have had no blisters or issues at all even spending 9 to 10 hours a day in these shoes.  Best of all, the "Alice" is very versatile.  You can wear these shoes for all but the most dressy occasions - it looks like a cute Mary Jane type slipper and unless people look closely they won't even realize they're made of the "croclite" material.  Like the other croc styles, it feels like you're walking on air.  One review mentioned the "toe cleavage".  This was a problem with the "Marnie" style but the "Alice" is much better designed so this isn't a problem.  The strap is well placed and keeps the shoe from slipping off your foot.  I wore the "Olivia" crocs all summer, but they are slingback so not good for winter.  The "Alice" crocs will be my everyday winter shoes.  Highly recommended!
