I’ll admit it – I think they’re hideous, but you can’t get mine off my feet (except for summer, and then I dare you to try to get the flip flops off me). They’re so comfy, I just wish I could wear them to work. Now, maybe I can, at least on Fridays. These are so cute! Crocs Prima - Lavender - Free Shipping & Return Shipping I really love the celery too.

They're still hideous.

They have pink! I bought aqua Crocs for gardening this year because the pink ones were really this scary fuschia colour, but those come in pink! 
And I agree- they're hideous. |

Aren't they dreadfully hot? I would think rubber shoes, even with the heels cut out and all the holes, would be so sweaty hot I'd just die.

I wear them only while gardening, and I think they're fine. Of course I am getting them wet and muddy and I can pour water into them if I need to, but they don't feel really hot. I don't know if I could wear them as real shoes. |

Oh, I meant, I couldn't wear them all the time because they aren't supportive enough for me. They are soft and squishy and feel so good- until I've walked about a mile. |

Yes, but your definition of hot shoes and my definition of hot shoes, I'm thinking, are going to be far apart.

I don't find them any hotter than leather shoes, fwiw.
I love mine. I wish I could wear them to work.
I can't wear the ballet slippers though. They're far too narrow for me. |

Crocs.  Won't catch me dead in those things.

MJ, I wish I could find the picture of the Crocs linked on a gardening website. Apparently there are plenty of people who feel like you do, so somebody grew a pot of poison ivy in them with the leaves twining through the Crocs and out the holes on top. I was absolutely howling!  |

I've never seen or heard of them before. Ugly rubber shoes. Can't imagine anything less comfortable. |

With my wide feet, I love them. I wear them to work and when I just want to slip into something fast. Em, they can get hot if you're outside in them a long time, but in air-conditioning they are fine. The girls have a pair too. They're perfect summer shoes cause the girls can hop in mud puddles, go to the beach and have a wonderful time in them.

Mine's got a rubber bottom with velcro straps that are water-sturdy.

I have a lot of trouble finding shoes like that to fit me. I have pudgy feet now 
The toe straps generally only work for me if they are expandable. Granted, your shoes are much more attractive than mine
I bought mine because I was at the mall in heels after Katie's first communion. My shoes were killing me, so I grabbed the cheapo crocs to wear instead. I don't think I would have ever bought them otherwise.

are crocs like that jelly material? I could see that, but they look heavier. |

This is the actual pair I own: 
They're wide on me, I have to put the straps in the tightest position I can without having a mile of strap left over. Toe strap and ankle strap ajustable. I've been on beach, on rocks, in water, and shopping in them. Very comfy.

THey are not jelly material. More like "foam" in my mind. |

I guess I'ld have to see them - I can't really imagine what they are, but if they're not hot, and they're comfortable, and they're good for mud and puddles - well....cool |

Seeing them and touching them don't do them justice. They're ugly and they feel like nothing you'd want to wear when you touch them. But, when you wear them, they are way more comfortable than you would expect them to be.

Delia, I brought my aqua ones to Florida in Feb. They are foam, and nice for beach or as slippers to me. For walking, I need something with a lot of arch support, but I do like them just to throw on to go to the store or garden. |

Am I the only one who had never seen or even heard of these before? I have no idea what these foam shoes are. I'll have to look for them. | |
