This is the second pair of this style croc I have owned.  The first pair I wore through the summer of 2009 and when they began to break in 2010 I found them on line and purchased them again.  They were the only sandal I wore ALL summer.  I stand on my feet at work alot on concrete and these were great for comfort.  A friend found them at an outlet so I bought 2 more pair!  I love this sandal.  I have tried other crocs flip flops and they hurt my toes.  This style is soft and does not rub.  It's a flip flop you won't want to take off!
