We got these after my husband had surgery & was in lots of foot pain, yet was supposed to start walking. He needed something soft, yet supportive. With the lining & the wide toe area, these were perfect! We did get them a size larger. He has ongoing nerve ending pain in his feet, so he will need these long term. We did also buy the black with black lining, which he also loves. After seeing other complaints about difficulty getting the liner off to wash, I put my 'thinking cap' on & used a pliers with a rubber grip & a screw driver with a narrow tip to push & pull. I also washed by hand with fels naptha bar soap & rinsed with some vinegar in the water to remove the foot odor. I blotted excess water & hung with skirt hanger to dry for a couple days.  I ordered extra grommets from Crocs just in case, but they didn't break. Crocs did say that due to customer requests, they WILL START SELLING EXTRA LINERS this Fall, '09!!  These Crocs are Great!
