I am deployed to a base in a very warm and wet climate; I bought these because my leather sandals were getting ruined in all the rain. I thought (even though I dislike Crocs INTENSELY) that they would be a good idea since they are synthetic. I usually wear a 6 - 6.5 in regular shoes; I bought a 6 and they fit nicely. The problem is this: THEY FELL APART AFTER 1 MONTH!!! I do not wear these shoes every day... more like every other day and in one month the top of the shoe has come apart from the bottom! REALLY??? For the money I expected them to last longer than one month AND everyone raves about these UGLY rubber shoes... obviously they are mistaken. Now I have to either try some super glue or silicon (neither of which are available here hence, I must order online!). Either that or Crocs can send me a NON-DEFECTIVE pair of shoes! NOT PLEASED.
