I am an exclusive Crocs wearer due to my plantar fasciitis and other foot complaints. I've been wearing these since my purchase for almost two weeks now. They aren't super cushy, but they are still comfortable and don't hurt my feet. I needed a pair for rainy weather, and these should work.

Typically I do not wear socks with my Crocs (hey, that rhymes), but I will with these as they make noise (embarrassing) when you walk without socks. But since they are for winter and rain, socks are appropriate.

As to the sizing, the Crocs website says to size down -- but I ignored that advice due to reading several reviews. I have several traditional Crocs in the roomy fit which I wear a woman's size 8. I also have a couple of pairs of Candace, which are a roomy fit, which I have in a size 8. My husband bought me some Crocs with lining in a 9, and I probably could have those in an 8 as well -- although the 9 is fine with socks.

I have a woman's size 9 in these and that is the appropriate size. They are not as roomy as Baya's or Candace, and an 8 would have been too small. I even held them up tip-to-tip with the lined size 9 Crocs and these are at least 1/2 inch shorter.

I have a short, wide, and fat foot -- although not extremely any of those things. I hope this helps.
