Crocs Unisex Adult Classic Clog

What can I say, who doesn't love a new pair of Crocs? My 12yo daughters favorite shoes, I wish it wasn't so, but it is. She will wear no others. She loves them because they are quick to put on, go with pants, shots and even summer dresses. We love them because the Croc brand is the most durable. It is the only brand we buy now after, trying many others. Also only brand we and anyone we know who has children buy. If you want to know why keep reading: Crocs brand has the best quality and durability. All of the children I know who wear this style shoe (I know 6 or 7) use the ankle strap everytime they wear the shoes (we call it wearing the shoe in Sport mode). My daughter has 1-2 pair of Crocs at any given time and its the only shoe she ever wears and always wears them in Sport mode (ankle strap engaged around ankle). Other brands, and all the kids I know have tried others, something always seems to go wrong with the ankle strap. Because all the kids I know use the ankle strap everytime they wear the shoe, once the ankle strap goes bad, the shoe is useless to the children. I buy my 12yo daughter a new pair of Crocs either through Amazon or the local shoe store, about every 6 months, and only because they are so stained the shoe is ugly; she wears the design off; or she outgrows them, but never once have we had to replace the Croc brand because the ankle strap broke. Other brands we have tried, the ankle strap breaks after 1 or 2 wears. My daughter has a very high activity level for a 12yo. She plays in the woods just about daily, goes to school 5 days a week, rides a bike in the summer, and sometimes goes to the park to run around. For us the durability and quality cannot be beat, and we will spend the little extra for that.

I’m seriously obsessed with my Crocs. I have two pairs and I wear them all the time. The colors are super bright and fun, and they’re honestly way more durable than I expected. They’ve lasted me through everything and still look great.They’re perfect for hanging out by the pool, quick grocery runs, or even just wearing to school. They’re really comfy, easy to slip on, and the heel strap helps keep them secure if I’m walking a lot.One of my favorite things is adding the little pins to them. It’s such a fun way to show my personality, and they look so cute and colorful. I get compliments on them all the time.If you’re thinking about getting a pair, I totally recommend it. They’re worth every penny.

I am pleasantly surprised by these. These are my first pair of crocs and I was unsure about how I would like the bumps on the bottom or how they would fit since I have small (and somewhat narrow) feet, but they ended up being great! I love the blue color, the quality is solid and seems sturdy. The blue is more of a pastel than I thought it would be which is worked out great. I am a 6.5 in women’s and was unsure if I should size up or down, I ended up sizing at 6 women’s and they fit perfectly. They are very comfortable and don’t slid off my heel with the strap which is great

I used to not be the biggest fan of crocs but after trying it again, I'm a fan. My household is a no-shoes household so it's so easy to just slip on these shoes to go outside. These do need to be broken in, and I've noticed a big difference between the first day vs now. Feels more comfortable now. I got them with the intent of filling all holes with charms so I can wear these to areas that need close-toed shoes. For the holes on the side, I got this thing called "shutterz" also on Amazon that fits right in. Excited to wear these more.

Comfort:I bought these for my husband for easy shoes to slip on for in the house and in the yard. They are great quality - very durable. We love that they can easily be washed, making them especially great slip on shoes for doing yard work or summer hobbies outside. They work great as indoor shoes in place of slippers. Theses shoes aren't fashionable in looks, but the comfort is great. Great buy and totally worth the money.

SIZING + FIT: 1) I wear an exact women’s size 8.5. Sometimes size 9 so I can add a Dr Scholl arch insole. I ordered these Crocs in two different sizes so I could try them and return the size that didn’t work. The size women’s 9 was too large/loose. The size women’s 8 fit me best, but not perfect. 2) The right shoe is somewhat larger & looser than the left, and the heel strap is longer. 3) I tried inserting a Dr Scholl insole in these Crocs. It did make the shoes more snug on my feet, and added arch support. The insoles stayed in place. But, it just felt wrong to put an insole in a Croc shoe since I bought these for orthopedic comfort & support, so I removed them. 4) My husband also just ordered these exact Crocs from Amazon in size Men's 11. He normally wears a size 10.5 or 11 shoe. They fit him okay, but they are somewhat loose on his narrow feet and he ends up walking duck-footed, with his toes pointed outward, to keep them from slipping.COMFORT: 1) After reading A LOT of reviews, I concluded that the comfort of Crocs are unique to each person. People with wider feet seem to really love them. People with foot or back problems love them. People with narrower feet aren’t usually impressed by them. 2) I sit & stand at my desk all day and these shoes are more comfortable than flip flops, but not as comfortable as high quality sneakers. 3) I have high arches and these shoes are tolerable, but don’t really offer much arch support. Perhaps my feet will eventually mold to the rubber – time will tell. 4) These Crocs have a slight cushioned insole. They are not hard plastic, and the insole has a little bit of cushy give when I take a step. 5) When wearing these shoes for extended periods, I notice pain in the ball of my feet - metatarsals. 6) The little nubs inside these shoes are soft enough that they don’t bother me or hurt my feet. That says a lot because I have very sensitive feet! 7) I find these shoes to be more comfortable and slip less when I wear them with socks. 8) I have a knock-off brand of Crocs with removeable orthopedic insoles. Those were initially comfortable on my feet, but the longer I wore them the more my feet hurt. The knock-off brand cost MORE than these Crocs ($33 vs $26).LOOKS + COLOR: 1) Well, what can I really say here except I really didn’t buy these for looks. They look like wide orthopedic shoes. Oh yeah, that’s because they are! Comfort overruled style in my case. 2) I bought some cute white flower charms on Amazon and that made my Crocs look more feminine and added a little something that was needed. 3) I ordered these in the color CHOCOLATE because I wanted a neutral color that didn’t draw attention to my huge orthopedic shoes. In the listing photo they look kind of sparkly, but they aren’t. They are a light, soft brown, almost a taupe color. Later, IF this shoe style grows on me (remember, I’m a newbie Crock wearer) I may try some other fun colors like pink or red.OTHER + GOOD TO KNOW + TIPS: 1) As other reviewers mention, these shoes squeak as you walk. Each step is “squeak, squeak, squeak…”. 2) In my opinion, Crocs are not ideal for narrow feet like mine. The shoes feel loose and I had them slip off while walking, which could be hazardous. I would not walk in these shoes for long distances or on uneven ground or on steps. 3) I heard that Crocs can be loosened or tightened using a blow dryer or in a clothes dryer. I tried to tighten mine using a blow dryer on high heat, held 6 inches away, then let cool. I was hoping the material would slightly shrink, especially the heel strap which is too loose. Unfortunately, this heat method did not work for me. *If you try this, USE CAUTION so you don't ruin your shoes! 4) I read many reviews where people said their Crocs shrunk or warped when left out in the sun or in a hot vehicle , so keep that in mind. 5) The holes in the plastic help ventilate enough that my feet don’t get super hot. Yes, my feet sweat a little in these shoes. There is a slight foot odor when wearing without socks. That is to be expected with rubber shoes. 6) I prefer to wear these shoes with socks because it helps with sweating and my feet don’t slip as much. 7) The tag on these shoes says Made in China. The bottom of the shoe is imprinted with Made in China. They have a tag that warns about riding on escalators and holding children’s hands at all times. I would never wear these on an escalator, but there must be some reason they include this tag – probably because of known issues of the rubber soles getting stuck on escalators. 8) I have no idea if these are “authentic” Crocs because this is my first pair and I have nothing to compare to. I checked the official Crocs’ website and the shoes I received from Amazon look exactly like those on Crocs’ website. 9) At the time of this review, I paid $26 for these Crocs on Amazon. This same style on the official Crocs’ website is priced much higher at $49. Amazon offers a lot more color options than Crocs’ website. 10) I found where Amazon sells a slightly different style of Croc brand shoes that I might try “Crocs Unisex-Adult All Terrain Clogs with Adjustable Heel Strap”. The adjustable heel strap may help in keeping my feet from sliding around. That style is a lot pricier at $41.IN CONCLUSION: As a newbie Croc wearer, I am not totally convinced these shoes live up to all the hype and amazing reviews I read. Like I said, I don’t think these are ideal for my narrow feet. I don’t feel safe wearing these outside my house because my feet slip in them so much. I will most likely wear these inside my house, inside my RV or around the campsite. PS- I am really disappointed that these didn’t meet all my expectations, and I am envious of all the people who rave about these shoes.I paid full price for these Crocs and was not compensated in any way for this review. I hope you found it helpful.
