I bought a pair and thought they were they most uncomfortable shoes I've ever put on my feet. Nurses think they are comfortable--wait a couple of years and we will be listening to your foot complaints. Think about it. Heel fascities, heel spurs, fallen arches. You are not doing your feet any favors. There are alot of great shoes out there for the nurses and doctors. I work in a medical uniform store and sold Crocs for about 3 months.

I also have Manolos, Cole-Haans, Esprits, Vitadinis, Mootsie Tootsies, Aerosoles, Birkies, and the most expensive you-name-it-brand shoes. Since I cannot be civil if my feet hurt, I wear Crocs. Crocs anywhere, but to dressy events, because shoes for my feet are better than shoes for my head. My senior citizen peers, after seeing me wearing Crocs, have been embolded enough to purchase their own. We agree, they are comfy and affordable. I wish they were invented sooner. People, I used to work in healthcare, poo on leather and fabric shoes, which cannot be cleansed. I highly recommend wearing closed toe Crocs instead. While a dishwasher gets hot enough to kill the bacteria, just leave them at work and disinfect them regularly. If bright colors are not professional, duh... buy the neutrals. Your healthcare professionals would concentrate more on your diagnosis and treatment, not their hurting feet. I have diabetes.

Something must be wrong with the group that freak out over Crocs. I have seen the most fashionable young women wearing Crocs - many different styles - and they look fabulous. When we find a shoe that is cute, comfortable, funky, why do so many people have to criticize it. Must be something very wrong with them to spend the effort worried about what I and my friends wear. Not only "get a life, but you had better do it quickly'. There are a lot more important things to worry about than my shoes. Viva la Crocs! Crocs are so cute.

The Crocs they are as are the slippers so fuzzy would be to the Tia Nieve, and she appreciates them for what they are. The Tia Nieve would never wear her Crocs in public, or even to the market-so-super or the station of gasoline, just as she would never to those places wear the slippers so fuzzy. The Tia Nieve believes that one wears appropriate shoes for all occasions. The comfortable yet elegant shoes are appropriate for the work of the Tia Nieve. The Crocs of the subdued sage green are appropriate for the toe-wriggling at the Casa Nieve.

My Mother in Law introduced me to the Croc sandals over the summer and I have never looked back! I have a TERRIBLE time with my feel swelling and could not even hope to stand to be on them all afternoon to enjoy an outing in any other shoes until I bought my Crocs! The sandals aren't as ugly as the regular ones, which both my husband and I got a pair of for working in the yard. I did wear my black sandals as dress shoes to an outdoor wedding, and was complemented on how attractively I was dressed several times. But the most important thing is that I HAVE MY LIFE BACK!!! I can now join my family at the Museum, the Renaissance Faire, the beach, or the Science Academy. We explored a small town all afternoon and my shoes accomodated the minimal swelling I experienced easily. When I got home, I washed my shoes in the sink with regular antibacterial dish soap. They did NOT smell, even after me wearing them for hours and my feet didn't hurt AT ALL!! My kids are happy that their Mother can safely attend outings again. Crocs are the best shoes that I have ever worn, bar none. Pretty shoes are NOT always the best shoes for every person. Individuals have different needs from one another. Maybe folks who like their Crocs are happy, and life is too short to not be happy!

I think it's so unfair to say that these shoes should be outlawed and banned. There are so many people that have been Blessed by these shoes. Because of the construction, those with surgical issues, bone infractions and so on are thrilled to have shoes that they can wear comfortably. Our medical professionals wear these shoes and are able to withstand long hours on their feet in Crocs. Adults love to trek through the house in their comfort and why not in their Crocs. If teens are able to feel apart of the IN CROWD just by wearing these shoes... is that really so bad? It could be drugs, sex and destruction. As we have approached the one year mark of KATRINA, there are so many other pressing issues in this country confronting us all. I can only hope that as a designer of fine European shoes, purses and handbags that you all have put as much passion into humanity and compassion for our United States citizens as you have wasted on this blog. God Bless you all and I pray that no one will ever judge your life so harshly. I absolutely think these are adorable for children.

I am a nurse, Yhey are anti microbial meaning they resist germs, those holes make your feet cooler for use that work on our feet all day. and the reason behind the large look is that they are meant to not touch any sides of your feet to reduce all pressure. If you are a hard working nurse, beleive me, these shoes are a god send. Now for out side of work is a whole different story. Maybe now you will understand. Hey Everyone, I love my Crocs For Work.

I was horrified enough when my mother in law presented the hideous red plastic shoes to my five year old daughter, but the other day she gave her butterflies, hearts, and pink jewels to stick in the holes. Yikes, the things people will spend money on.....
