Comfort AND style? From Crocs? Really? Yes!
I have been on the lookout for comfortable yet stylish traveling shoes for a couple of years now. I have tried an endless number of variations on the traditional ballet flat but those tend to either have no arch support (but be comfortable otherwise) or have comfortable soles but leather that rubs against the heel or toe creating blisters. I have tried every moleskin blister pad and arch insert on the market and nothing has helped. With my honeymoon coming up I was getting desperate.
Everything changed with a walk through the Macy's shoe department a couple of weeks ago... I noticed the wall-o-crocs and almost passed it by - before a vacation 1 1/2 years ago I tried my first pair of 'stylish' crocs a modified Mary Jane style and the plastic strap attachment rubbed a huge patch of skin off of my foot the very first time I wore them. I figured I would look at the new styles anyway and was amazed to see the Olivia sling back which clearly had no plastic attachments inside to rub the foot. I immediately logged onto amazon mobile from my iphone discovered they were cheaper than in the store and ordered two pair one in black and one in gold.
I exchanged the gold ones for a pair of brown Malindi crocs (I recommend checking those out too - they are even cuter!) since the lighter color looked a little bulky on my foot but I have worn the black pretty much every day since. All of my friends are amazed when they get close enough to see that these are crocs - as long as you keep them clean they can easily pass for a nice pair of black flats. I am in love!More detail ...
