I have had some issues with Plantar Fascittis and had to give up wearing heels at work. So I have looked at "orthopedic" type shoes and either they are very unattractive or they are insanely expensive. I heard that a lot of nurses wear crocs because they are so comfortable to wear all day, but I have always thought they were such ugly shoes UNTIL I saw these and decided to buy them. Not only are they incredibally comfortable they are really cute too because they have a suede outside that dress them up from the "rubber" crocs. And since I have been wearing them my feet don't hurt near as much as they used to!!!
