I've worn a basic pair of crocs for several years but I don't usually wear them outside the house because they aren't that attractive.  These crocs, however, have just enough style to wear outside the house as a regular pair of shoes--with the croc comfort!!  In addition, these Yukon crocs have an adjustable back strap that helps to keep my heel comfortable.  I am very particular about shoes, and I have a very difficult time getting a comfortable fit that doesn't aggravate my plantar fasciitis (heel pain) and hallux limitus (arthritis in the big toe joint).  These crocs are a godsend...and I can wear them anywhere!!
