I was so excited to get these and then realized the error of my ways.  Although absolutely adorable, these are some of the most painful things I have ever put on my feet - and I have worn some crazy shoes in my time!  I guess because they are not flat they have to be made of some harder material or something - I don't know.  They are certainly NOT the soft flexible material crocs devotees have come to know and love.  They are completely unweilding to your foot and within walking 2 blocks I had blisters on the tops of all of my toes.  I have owned numerous pairs of crocs and know that I got the right size, so that is not the issue.  I suppose if you wore thin socks with them they might be tolerable, but that would just look stupid with skirts or summer pants/shorts, which is primarily what I would have worn them with.  After having to suffer through a day at work (and I don't do that much walking at all at my job - minimal, at most), I couldn't get these things off of me fast enough.  I think I got them off just in time so that my feet didn't bleed all over the CLOTH footbed, which, incidently, just makes your foot slide around more and cause more friction between your toes and the top of the shoe.  The straps bruised the tops of my feet!!! If you don't want to cry all day, do NOT buy these!  I am fairly certain that people have chosen the guillotine over these shoes.
