I bought these shoes for my son who was in an accident and had both feet broken. Since that time he has not been able to wear regular shoes and has only worn Crocs . After seeing these shoes, my son thought they might be something he could wear because they were slip on and had an open heel. Well, he just loves them. His feet are swollen because of the breaks but the shoes fit great and do not hurt his feet at all. He really likes having a closed shoe but open in the back, I am so pleased that we found him a really great shoe at Amazon.
