They kind of look like the Crocks that are all over the place where I live. Everyone is wearing them. They sell for $10.00

My ultrasound tech yesterday was wearing them.

Some employees at work now have them, and a uniform catalog that I get
had a whole section on them. I guess I will soon join in...if I can get them comfortably on my instep which is very high!

Thanks for the link!

I know the blood taking lady was wearing them at the hospital too. Do you guys wear these and it helps for comfort? I wear tennis shoes but my feet feel so swallon in there but I feel my inner ankle needs better support so why the tennis shoes.I'm suppose to get orthotics made if I can ever let someone touch my leg.

The wound Drs. really recommend the Crocks,they cost around 30.00
thenew leather ones run around 100.00. They even have then in
flip flops Terri. My new script shoes expand when your feet swell
and believe it or not there cute. I like the Crocks around the house
like slippers. You see alot of nurses wearing the Crocks,i bet the new
ones won't be so sweaty. Sue

I am 60 years old this year. I cannot, in all my wild imagination, see me wearing these shoes. We were in King Plaza Mall a few months ago and there was one guy selling these in the middle of the mall. I mean, he had them in every color of the rainbow. I remember walking over to the counter and saying "Oh, Alan, these are the crocks that everyone is wearing around our neighborhood. And these had stripes on them.

I remember the look on Alan's face. He did not like them. Now I have no idea if they are comfortable or not. But I know me. I'll either wear my chinese slippers around my house, or my athletic shoes outside. They give me no problem.

They remind me of Dutch shoes (you know, the wooden clog things)


lol, Mel

I think those shoes are cute. I wonder how well they keep you from hyperpronating. I have to wear orthotics and when in the house that means keeping my 'running shoes' on all day, and I hate that...I am a barefoot kind of person, but then I get all off kilter. I will have to ask when I go in for a PT eval.

I got a pair of regular crocks several months back and had to return them... they were super confortable - even without socks (I'm normally a barefoot person but going outside need shoes!) but ended up returning them cause they were so large around the top part I looked like a duck.... I dont have extra skinny feet at all, have a very high arch, but do have very thin ankles and legs, and looked like a was wearing someone elses shoes cause the had so much extra room around in them....!

These are really cute sytles though! If anyone does get a pair that they can compare to regular crocks, could you post on the fit?

Thanks!

Hi all, I ordered diabetic crocks, I rarely wear them, my lower back aches when I do. They are very roomy, have to wear my chenille socks with them. My daughter just bought a pair of Mary Jane crocs and they aren't as big in the toe area and quite cute. The best pair of shoes I own are Borns, they are similar to Crocs but made of leather and best of all they don't make mback hurt or the tops of my feet burn. I am looking at Earth Shoes now, they have to be roomy in the foot area tho, bare foot is best of all.
The heat of summer makes my PN flare so I am dreading the next few months, lots of cold water foot soaks ahead.

All I can say is (and I don't want to put a hex on myself), this is the second day that my feet don't burn. And we've had nutty weather, which usually makes my feet and legs go nuts.

Yesterday, I took 10,000 of the methyl b-12 and you better believe today, I'm doing the same thing.

Wouldn't it be terrific if I found the remedy and all it took was methyl b-12?

Glory Be!!!
