I'm a photographer and on my feet (often on concrete) for long stretches of time. I also have sweaty feet and like to wiggle my toes. :-) The Dansko clogs are so comfortable with a roomy toe box (but they don't fly off your feet if you're in a hurry) and look physical-labor dressy. And they breathe really well. I know lots of nurses and fellow photogs who swear by them. I know I do. Aylaanne, I must second the Dankso clogs.

Slip on Keds are a much better, comfy, breathable and lightweight (although I prefer the Classics which lace up). My free idea for the day is: I think there should be a TV show like "Honey, we're killing the kids" but done for fashion. They can show with the time-lapse aging photography how these kids will end up mulletted with overalls in 25 years. Ick! I hate these Crocs so much!

Now I know Crocs also double as tennis shoes. You learn something new everyday. I noted today the Taiwanese student playing tennis wearing a pair of brown Crocs.

All those "comfort is beauty" people need to step back, realize they spent forty bucks for twenty-five cents worth of plastic, and get over themselves. Comfort is comfort. None of the strangers upon whom you inflict the sight of your hideous shoes give a rat's ass that you're comfortable. Also: what ever happened to shoes that are comfortable and presentable? If they're not presentable, don't present them in public. As Miss Manners says, nobody cares what you wear when you're alone.

I saw more men with mullets than I did people wearing Crocs (I kept a running tally in my faithful notebook). This lead me to a quite perplexing hypothesis. That is that even southern hicks have better fashion taste than to sport Crocs in public. No puede ser! I've plenty of flat comfy shoes. My favorite being a pair of brown flat Josef Siebel mary janes I've worn to the point of having resoled. Sadly they no longer make the mary jane I own, but the Maddie by Josef Siebel is pretty darn cute. I went to a Rush concert recently.
