Crocs, I've found, are something people either love or they hate.  I happen to love them and have numerous pairs in many colors.  I've reached the stage in my life where comfort is a priority.  I truly have never found a more comfortable shoe.  All the written and other media articles about safety on escalators are overblown, to my mind.  Accidents with these shoes always seem to involve children who are likely standing too close to the edges of the escalator stairs.  I've ridden many escalators and have had no problems with any of my Crocs.
