I used to make fun of a friend who wore Crocs.  Finally, when I saw them on sale, I bought a pair. Now I almost never wear anything else on my feet. I even wear them with a suit. I resent having to put on a pair of leather pain-makers when I have to go to dress up functions. I keep the old Crocs for inside use and buy new ones for outside. I am tough on the heels and have to replace the Crocs often, but even that is cheaper than reheels and half soles. My feet feel massaged all day long. I can even feel comfortable walking on the cobblestones of European streets. Some of my colleages smirk or shake their heads.  I just smile back and laugh, because I never have to say and more: "My feet are killing me!" My feet feel great!
