I own a small diner and on my feet all day. My wife and I were looking for comfortable shoes to work in our diner and expected to pay over $100. As I researched appropriate  slip resistant shoes and Crocs were rate very high. I found these shoes to be exactly what I was looking for comfortable, slip resistant and affordable. This my second pair of the Mario Batali Edition and stayed with the orange as it has become somewhat of a trademark for me :). When I went to order this last pair, Amazon was out of my size in Men's but since the are universal for men and women, I was able to get the size I needed in the women's section.
