I have been wearing them for about 2 years now, i have 6 pairs because i don't just wear them for work. at work i wear the orange ones (b/c no one else has orange) with the holes. my feet don't sweat near as much as with birkis. crocs rule all!

I learned something today. Socks matter! Yesterday I wore heavy socks, no pain, no anything. Felt great. Today I wore nylon socks and not only did I squeek with each step, my feet are killing me. I don't know what the difference is but it is huge.

Note to self: Heavy socks work better heavy socks work better heavy socks work better...

Thanks for the heads up! I do think that I'll try them out on my feet before buying, so probably won't buy them online.

I am sooo glad I wasn't the only one...lol.... I was kind of short changed in the grace department anyway and these shoes made me feel like Chevy Chase or some other slapstick comedian. I'd be walking along, in what I thought was a respectable amount of decorum, and one of my feet would make a screeching halt, thrusting the top half of my body forward. My co-workers seem to find great humor in this....half the time I think they keep me around to entertain them....

Heh... after reading so many people write of these results I went a little overboard and likely looked like I was marching to a drummer the last two days.

As uncoordinated as I am, I didn't have this particular problem.

One of our docs just started wearing them and he swears by them. I haven't tried them yet, I just bought a pair of Birkenstocks a few weeks ago and it is the first pair I have been able to wear for 12 hours without having to change shoes or have my feet and legs ache for hours!

These shoes hurt! The first day I thought I was in heaven, no pain, no sore feet/ankles/legs. Day #2 and it was ... owchie. Day #3 I was dying, and it got worse from there.

Today is Sunday, I was off yesterday and today and my heels still hurt. If I am sitting for a long time and then go to walk I look like a little old lady.

Tell me it gets better? They aren't worn in yet, right??

OMG.. tha'ts going to be me, too, when I get mine !!! I can see it now... oh boy.

I have that trouble NOW already, with OUT these shoes !!! But I do want to try them !!!

I have this issue with the shoes, too.........although I can trip over smoke Doesn't stop me from wearing 'em, I just have to be more careful about picking up my feet.

I just love it when one shoe stops, and the rest of me continues in the original direction at the original speed.

They aren't a "wear them in" kind of shoe. Sounds like they just aren't compatible with your body/leg/feet type. I know I wish shoes weren't such an individual thing... so much $$ to spend to find out that what so many people love is painful!
