I wanted a fun, go-anywhere flat for the summer, and these were it! The soles of regular Crocs are too squishy for me, but these have a great solid "bounce" that's pretty supportive. And this from someone who usually sticks to Birks, Mephisto, etc. These are super and super-cute. I wish I'd grabbed them in another color. And my five-year-old shoe-junkie granddaughter so wishes they came in her size.  :)
