This is my third pair of crocs and the first two lasted so well, I knew it was worth getting another pair. These are cute and were cheap in my size (11). I expect to have years of wear in them. I do have to say, did you ever watch "Fat Albert" as a kid? Well, when I look down at the toe of these shoes - with the holes, the raised design, and the shape - they remind me of the the character "Dumb" Donald who wore the cap over his face. It's weird, but I can't help but see it, LOL.
