First of all, I have never worn crocs before. So the extreme lightness of the Tilda was surprising. I ended up ordering a halfsize larger (9) than I normally wear for big socks and suchwhat, so when I first pulled them out of the box, my inital reaction was 'Wow those are huge.' They are loose on my feet, but not in a bad way. I imagine if I had ordered the eights, they would not have been wide enough for me to wear comfortably.

Wearing them at first was a bit strange as well, as the inserts are held in place by the suede ties and nothing else. So your feet slide around in them a little bit, but as I wore them more, it stopped happening as much. I tried removing the insert and wearing a shoe like that, but that was very much like a boat on my foot. Okay, inserts back in.

Still very excited about my shoes, I wore them into work the same day I got them. Warning! These are NOT slip resistant. I thought they were, maybe I misread or maybe someone lied. I found a puddle of water and if I had not been the person to put it there, I would've broken something. Strangly they did not as bad on freshly mopped floors though.

Overall, I like Tilda. Although they are not broken in quite yet, they are comfortable and feel great on my feet. They are cute and refreshingly cleanable. They look nice, even if a bit large looking overall. I'm half tempted to believe the inserts are based on your size but the shoe they go in is one size fits all. Regardless, I like my new shoes. I may even get the Gretel version!
