I bought these for my husband because he would always steal my croc clogs for going in and out of the house or to the garage.  I was hesitant to spend this type of money when I could have gotten regular clogs for much less but he is so pleased with these that I cannot say the money was not well spent.  Given that these will probably last him years and my clogs are again my own and that he can run out with the dogs in the dead of winter and not worry about slipping have made these one of my best purchases this year!
