Almost everyone I work with wear crocs and love them. I bought a pair and ended up not really liking them. The reason for me is because I have NO feeling in my feet. Because of this, it is easy for me to turn my foot or ankle when walking. There is no support for the feet with them. Otherwise I hear even doctors recommend them. So if you don't have a problem with needing support for your feet and ankles, I recommend you try them. I don't know if they have Wal-mart where you live, but here a generic brand of them is only about $5.00. Worth trying out to see if you like them before spending the money on a real pair of Crocks.
