Here are pictures of the Croc cell phone case that I saw at Sprint....




I guess they're not actual Crocs or a Sprint product, just sold by Sprint. The website where I found the pics is www.fonegear.com and the case is called "Crockette" under their foneGirl product line. They come in the colors shown above.

Yesssss, and the foot bed can be pulled out for cleaning. It basically leaves you with the plastic shoe to wash freely and not worry about getting the cork wet.

I like Danskos too, but after the day is over, I never even think about my crocs. They are so comfortable, I forget about them all together. With the Danskos, I have to worry about twisting my ankle.

the cork foot bed is also replaceable. the outer plastic part lasts forever and is durable. should you need to replace the cork foot bed (which does not seem likely), they are cheaper than buying the whole shoe. the outer part is supposed to be 'autoclavable,' for whatever reason one may need to autoclave their shoes....

Re: Are Crocs good for Nursing

i'd like to add that i'm a crocs fan all the way. i need the shock absorbancy and squishyness to them. the birks feel great with the contoured arch support, but they get heavy by the end of the shift. i'm spoiled by crocs. i'm a big gal and picturing myself in dansko's gives me a horrible flashback-esque feeling of an ankle ripping sprain.

Re: Are Crocs good for Nursing

Someone at work mentioned something about a segment on 60 Minutes in which chiropractors report a massive surge in their business due to health care workers wearing crocs. Has anyone seen this? I can't believe that there wouldn't have been some mention if there actually had been a report about crocs on 60 minutes.

I've been wearing Quarks for several years. Actually, I replaced my first two sets of Quarks last year after about three years. The new and improved Quarkies don't seem to measure up. Lately, my feet feel tired at the end of the day just as they did when my shoes got to be more than six months old. Has anyone else experienced this?
