They are crocs. They do what they say on the tin: provide cushy but pretty ugly foot covers for little kids at a price that makes my eye twitch. You're paying for the rubbery smell, brand, and added bonus of the Marvel merchandizing. They run a little big, but pretty much look the same in person. Crocks in General are problematic to me in that they aren't the most stable shoes for kids to walk in until they are well worn, so know that before buying any pair.
