... they are cute, for Crocs.  The thing is, we ordered this size, which was a size down from the first time we tried these about 3 months ago.  They STILL seem too big, and we ended up ordering a size smaller.  The thing is, the back strap creates a dilemma.

I don't like wearing my Crocs with the heel strap on.  I like to wear them as mules or whatever.  But these are so big - they are not only long, but also wide, so there's no way to wear them without the heel strap, because your foot just flops around too much in there without the stabilization of the strap.  In my opinion, the design is somewhat flawed because the heel strap forces your foot forward about half an inch.  So what ends up happening is that the size 6, which is actually ALMOST wearable without that heel strap for me, ends up being too small (even though I wear women's size 8, which should be a match).  With the strap off, the shoe is still too wide and unstable, but when you put it on, it crams your toes up into the front.

So, my only alternative is to wear the size larger - but even with the strap ON, these are SO big, wide and clunky, that I'm just not comfortable with them.  Sigh.

If your feet run wide, these are your shoes.  But mine are more narrow, so these shoes are really not a possibility for me, which is too bad because they're the best looking Crocs available.  I wish they would make them a little narrower.  I gave the shoes to my wife.  She can barely wear them, but her feet are just enough larger than mine that she's decided to keep them.  I guess I'll stick with the Beach Crocs.

Honestly - I wish I could find Doggers in women's sizes.  Not only are they sized more normally, but they're also more comfortable.  Uglier, though, if that's even possible.  Whatever.  At my age, you don't go for "hot" any more.  You settle for "funny" if you can get it.
