Anyone wear Crocs? I do! I started wearing them about two weeks ago because I have some really bad right foot problems. Four surgeries and the strong possibility of another soon. I, seriously, could not find anything that I could have on my feet longer than a few minutes. A friend recommended these and I LOVE them! It took me about 20 minutes to get used to them. I have a bunch of styles and colors. They are a hoot and not expensive, at all. I am simply amazed by them! Very curious about some feedback from others

I personally don't like the look of them. I understand they mold to your feet and are very comfortable though...

I have Disney crocs. I don't usually wear them out, but on a recent trip to Disney, all my Skechers gave me blisters, so I bought these to save my poor feet, and I love them. And yes, the little holes are actually little Mickey Mouse heads.

Wednesday I went with my sister to take my oldest niece to urgent care. She was miserable sick with a high fever and sis couldn't pick her up and hold her if need be. Doctor decided she wanted some blood work done and my niece immediately started screaming her head off, when we got to the lab, I had to sit down with her in my lap, had my arms wrapped around her cuz she was going to leave, niece is screaming she don't want a shot, don't take all her blood and crying. Right in the middle of this she stopped and looked up at the lab tech and said, "I like your shoes." They were lime green crocs. The lab tech told her how comfy they were, then niece went back to screaming and it took me and another tech to hold her still long enough to do blood test. Totally cracked me up though that she stopped mid-fuss to comment on the womans shoes, lol.

I just ordered a pair via Avon...red. I plan to use them for gardening. Hope that I don't find them so comfortable that I have to wear them everywhere...they really are the ugliest things. LOL!

Oh War, that is FUNNY! You're poor niece, I hope she's doing better now. Texannie, I have a couple of pair of the Professional and love them. They have the closed toe. I tried on the Mary Janes at Macy's and didn't like them as well as some of the others. Vee, I LOVE the red ones! I have the beach red on today. They really are sooooo comfortable. I use these like slippers. Ugly is only ugly if you think it is ugly or something stupid like that!

Heh, who cares about ugly as long as they are comfy! Kst, my oldest niece is feeling great, unfortunately now her little sister and both my kids have the exact same thing.

I have 3 pair. Brown clogs with holes, navy and pearl without holes. I wear them like slip on clogs, never using the back strap. And I always wear socks with them for some reason. My navy ones are almost worn out - I wear them everywhere!

I got some and didn't like them on my feet. I have bony feet, and their sole just didn't seem to fit with mine. Bigdog got some and loved them, but they were marking up the floors, and he got forbidden to wear them in certain rooms, so I haven't seen him wearing them at all lately.

Juju, the crocs 'shouldn't' mark the floors. Very odd. Poor Bigdog! Texannie, YES! Macy's carries the Crocs and in some really funky color combinations. They had a large selection of the Mary Janes.

Kstme, I know they "shouldn't". He also was wearing them on the tile floors at the rented condo in Texas, and you could see every footprint he made. It is not like a colored mark or anything, but you can very clearly see the footprint. Just very weird. Well, he is also a bit heavy, so maybe that is it.

Do crocs make your feet sweat? I'm thinking about getting some for DC since we'll be doing a lot of walking.

i've never tried the crocs but they seem to be all the rage around here... with my recent DVT issues i read somewhere about Earth shoes....something about the heel being lower then the rest of your foot and its supposed to help with circulation issues...good for people who have to be on their feet a lot too. I can't seem to find a par for under $100 though and don't want to spend that much on something that may or may not just be a gimmick tho

Eris, I received this pair of Earth sandals last week and I really like them a lot. It helps that they are on sale, too. Here's a link to all of the Earth shoes at Planet Shoes. Use coupon code enjoy10 for 10% off. I like Birks, too.

I got 133 hits on "earth shoe" on ebay. Strangely enough, I tried on a pair of earth shoes within the past week. They were actually rather comfortable. I am old enough that earth shoes were all the rage when we all were hippies back in the day. But I never had any then.
