This style is my second pair of Crocs. My first pair were flip-flop style and I fell in love. They aren't the prettiest things, but boy, are they ever comfortable! They have little massaging nubs all on the inner soles that feel so good on my feet after a long day in heals. My husband didn't believe me until he slipped mine on to get a package one day. He fell in love, too, and now has two pair of his own. They're waterproof, too, which only adds to their value for me.
