I recently had foot surgery, and needed something to wear on my other foot to balance out the surgical shoe and give me height so I wasn't too off balance.  These shoes fit my foot snugly but comfortably and are flexible.  I used to love the old mary jane style crocs with the strap that could be moved to the front or back, but they no longer make this style and I got these to replace those.  Fortunately, I feel less like a complete dork wearing these as they look a bit more like normal shoes in the rounded toe and low profile.  When I'm able to start wearing normal shoes again I'll probably start transitioning with these.
