This style would work well for casual events, but the shoes do not provide the comfort that I expect from Crocs. If the bottoms of your feet are especially sensitive like mine, these shoes provide very little support or cushioning and therefore, would not work well for excursions such as shopping or where extended standing is required. There are two reasons I gave the shoes only three stars.  The first is because, unless you are really into advertising the brand you are wearing, the large logo on the side makes the style less versatile for wearing on nicer occasions.  Second, this style does not come in half sizes.  I usually wear a 7 1/2 and had to buy up a half size (I tried the size 7 first and had to return).  The fit is okay, but a little "floppy" and does not provide the support needed for a doing a lot of walking or standing.  I would recommend this shoe for people who have no foot problems, can typically wear flip flops without a problem, and who wear whole sizes.
