In recent months, I've developed severe neuropathy in my feet and legs. The pain, discomfort and other issues caused by this problem made it painful even wearing socks! Since I couldn't wear shoes -- not even my well-worn-in Birkies which were enough to put me into tears -- and, as a consquense, I pretty much becam a shut in. I took up a friend's offer to use her Crocs. I forgot I had the shoes on and considered crying when asked to return them! 5 stars

Crocs are the ugliest shoes I've ever seen, hands down. They were made for practical use such as by nurses, people working in their gardens, and people with chronic foot pain. However, the use of them as a fashion accessory has gotten out of hand. Everywhere I go I see people wearing them. At the mall, at church, even frequently at the Red Lobster or Olive Garden. The worst is when I see whole families wearing the same color, or when I see adult men wearing them with shorts and socks. YOU LOOK AWFUL! While they don't look so bad on children, they are BAD for kids to wear. First of all, children wearing these shoes are learning to walk by shuffling their feet rather than lifting them and taking steps. As someone who works with a lot of high school to college aged youth, I can tell you this has become an alarming new trend. Watch when you're out shopping and you'll notice it too. Secondly, kids should not wear these shoes to school as they are dangerous for running, playing, and even walking up steps too quickly. I've seen friends who stopped letting their kids wear these after they kept coming home from school with bruised elbows, scraped knees, and even one bloody nose from falling out of their Crocs. If you want to wear some comfortable shoes and still look decent, I would recommend looking at shoes made by skateboarding companies. Vans (although not the slip-ons), DC Shoes, Etnies, and Fallen all make very comfortable shoes in a variety of styles so that you don't just have to wear skate shoes. They also make cushioned insoles for skateboarders that can be put in any shoes and with a little arch support you might find you don't need these god awful Crocs anymore. 1 star

I bought navy blue size 8 in mens because they didn't have size 10 navy blue womans and they fit perfect. The nice colors are hard to come by especially this time of year. Amazon was handy for that because they do the looking for you. I would definately buy these shoes if your looking for comfort and easy on and off shoes, they're great on uneven terrain. As far as looks, they grown on you! 5 stars

I love these things. My daughter (who's in the medical field)turned me on to these. She, as do I, has a need for arch support because they're so high. She also knew my arches has been falling due to age (I'm in my late forties)and I need inserts in my work shoes. She's been wearing her pair since last fall (2006) and picked me up some of the Croc "glides?" in March.

I liked them so much I ordered these Caymans for myself. Amazing support for "difficult" feet. I wear them whenever I'm not in my work shoes. I may look somewhat foolish (they're marketed at a much lower age bracket than myself), but I'm comfortable so I don't care. 5 stars

I don't own these and I never will. I don't care how comfortable you say that these are, these are the ugliest and most ridiculous looking shoes on the planet. If someone gave me a pair of these I would throw them away. I'm sure wearing a velvet diaper would be comfortable, but I don't because I would look like a tool. Have some self respect people. Don't wear Crocs! 1 star
