AS FLEXIBLE & PROTECTIVE AS BAREFOOT SHOES!
These tough, elegant, lightweight silicone sandals allow me to enjoy the feeling of walking barefoot again like when I was a child!Their smooth silicone upper straps fit over my high arches PERFECTLY! No binding at all from upper straps that are usually either too tight or too stiff in other sandals.I wore my first pair of these sandals every Spring and Summer for 3 years in TOTAL comfort,16 hours a day, with both jeans and dresses - until one strap on one of them finally snapped in two.I was devastated! Until I recognized the exact same sandal on Amazon and found it in a Size 6. Couldn't get them in my favorite black & white color, but the navy & white looks almost identical. So, Life is GOOD again!I still have very high arches at Age 73, and these fit my feet perfectly. If one has flatter arches, they may not feel or fit as well. The straps on this new pair (across the arch) are noticeably tighter than on my older pair, however, so Crocs must have adjusted the fit for normal feet.My first pair look as good as new -- after I cleaned their white soles with bleach water and a nail brush -- after 3 years of pretty rough wear and tear. I love how they clean up so quickly after wearing them so I can go from working in the yard to going out to dinner without changing into less comfortable shoes.I usually walk around on gravel, mulch, or rocky soil all around our treed yard during the day and on HW floors inside at night. These became my favorite yard shoes because they allow me to feel the contours if the earth under my feet and to keep my balance more easily due to their very flexible soles.I actually also like wearing my cushy Hoka Recovery Sandals - mainly indoors, though. Outdoors, there's nothing like being able to sense the contours of the earth under your feet.I tried a barefoot shoe once, but they fit so tight, like a water shoe, that it was too much trouble to be worth giving them a chance. These, unlike those, slip on and off so easily, I keep them beside my bed to slip into if I get up during the night.So, they work well for me as dressy sandals, "airy" work shoes, AND bed slippers. You can see how easy it is for me to keep wearing them and loving them, 16 hours a day! I highly recommend them for active people who love the outdoors.BTW, I suffered with plantar fasciitis for more than a year before I discovered these Crocs. I recovered pain-free use of my feet only after I found some HOKA Recovery Sandals in a running shop and wore THEM 16 hours a day - for about 2 yearsAfter that, my feet could handle wearing my regular, stiffer-soled shoes again, but for only an hour or so. I was very uncertain about trying anything as thin-soled as these Crocs, but then, I found a pair at Super Shoes and tried them on. They were so cheap on sale and so comfortable on my feet, I HAD to buy them. So glad I did!To my surprise, after wearing them more and more each day and getting used to the little bumps on their inner soles, they gently worked and strengthened my feet! What they lacked in HOKA's thick cushiness was made up for in extreme flexibility. I also found walking on uneven terrain with them part of the time helped even more. In less than 6 months, I completely stopped worrying about my feet and began to enjoy walking again.My podiatrist suggested walking on uneven outdoor ground to strengthen my feet, but said to take it easy. If ever my feet felt uncomfortable or hurt me, I went right back to my HOKA's! If you ever have a foot problem, be sure to get advice from a good podiatrist. Good advice about footwear cured my fasciitis, not these sandals. But these sandals did make walking fun again!

Love these sandals. Too bad Crocs discontinued them because they fit well, are comfortable & cute and hold up well. I've had them over a year and they still look great

My favorite sandals!
Love these sandals. They look cute with everything, are sturdy but incredibly comfortable. They stay on your feet and I’ve worn them walking through amusement parks for hours and my feet don’t hurt at the end of the day. They are super easy to clean. I got a pair about 3 years ago, and missplaced them so I bought another pair. I ended up finding my others ones and you can’t even tell which pair is newer, the old ones look just as new as the new ones. My favorite, go to sandals!

Wrong size and color sent. Two different stickers.
Shoe looked good and felt nice but had to immediately return because they sent me a navy size 12 when I ordered a black size 8. I don't know how often this happens but ot sucked because I wasn't going to be able to get out and make the return in a timely manner so I ended up paying 7 dollars to have fed ex pick up 😒..so I kinda paid for someone's else's mistake. I will update this review pending the outcome and order of the next pair.

Perfect for Pools
Excellent shoes for pool use, very comfortable for walking with the straps providing a secure fit. I was hesitant that the little nubs might bother my feet after a while but I barely noticed them. The shoes were never in the sun but they handled 90-105 degree heat with 80+ humidity without warping and kept my feet cool and dry.I love the black and white color combo but I don’t think you could really dress this up. Though the material is matte, It has a plastic rubber look. One small issue was that my little toe is shorter than average so my pinkie nail would catch a little on the strap. Not enough to pull it up just more of a friction tugging sensation. I was able to shift the straps a smidge back to prevent the issue. If these hold up in the sun I would absolutely recommend them for pool use.
