I bought these shoes as a replacement for my crocs because my hubby hates my crocs.  I've been wearing them for over 6 months and I have fallen twice, once when the heal turned sideways and caused me to fall and twist my ankle, the second time my heal came out of the heal bed and I lost balance and fell backwards.  I'm not a person that usually has a problem with walking/standing upright.  These are the first shoes that have ever caused me to fall.  I will not wear them again. My health is more important than cute shoes.
