I have about six pairs of Crocs now, all of which are at least satisfactory, and most of which are excellent. This particular pair, which is now (as of 4/10/13) being sold at a very reasonable price, are the most comfortable and among the most stylish (if you don't mind my loose use of that term) that I have ever owned. If your shoes are uncomfortable enough to make your ageing 'dogs bark,' you should really try a pair of these. There are other colors to choose from as well, although I believe that this successful color combination is the least expensive.
