The Crocs brand has an interesting history inspiring passion, love and hate.  When these clogs ("comfortable slip-on shoes") were marketed as high fashion, they were highly criticized.  Perhaps by definition, plastic shoes are not elegant and beautiful.  I finally was curious enough to try them.

My Crocs, purchased through Amazon, were made in Mexico.  The size was true, neither too long nor short.  They're quite wide as intended.  I immediately liked them and started wearing them this summer.  I really like wearing them.  When I tried walking several blocks in them, I got blisters on the tops of my feet where the plastic rubbed even though the size was correct.  However, that's just my feet.  Many people can wear them everywhere.  I still like wearing them except for walking longer distances.

I think Crocs make great casual footwear like around the house and especially beach or pool.  I like seeing people wear them in all kinds of colors.  Croc colors can be matched with shirts, hats and accessories.
