I am a student teacher, and these shoes are wonderful if you're going to be on your feet all day but still want to wear heels. They're not as comfortable as regular crocs, of course, but I still don't feel like I'm wearing heels. The part that would rub against your heel is covered in a soft fabric, so I haven't gotten any blisters from breaking them in. The only complaint I have is that the right shoe squeaks a bit when I walk, but it's totally worth it for such comfy wedges!
