Crocs specialist do come in white. Go www.crocs.com, click on work at top of page then to specialist. They have vent and no vent varieties. I have them and think they are more comfortable than the other crocs. I have many pairs in many colors.

One of my colleagues was just in my office and we were discussing Dansko. They get our vote hands down! Take care of your feet!

Re: Shoes...what do you wear?

Love NIKE!! Hands down. Esp. the ballo nikes which they no longer make but I have a secret place where I can still find them. I can wear these everyday, work out in them, run, go to work... right when you get a pair you slip them on they feel like youve been wearing them forever... no need to break them in with the comfortable mesh, feet never sweat and I cant RAVE enough about Nike products .. love love love them! I have a gray pair and black and white w/ pink ...

Re: Shoes...what do you wear?

For all you Dankso lovers, here is some information I received via email from their customer service dept!

Thank you for your email and interest in Dansko. I have great news! We are actually introducing a few new Patent leather colors in the Professional clog to our Fall/Winter 2008 season. The colors available will be Claret (a little darker than the red, they're gorgeous!), Navy, and Black. Also, there will also be a Limited Edition Brown Leopard Patent, Red Leopard Patent, and Grey Leopard Patent, just to jazz things up! (We're also bringing back the Confetti Professional due to popular demand!) They should start arriving at your local Dansko dealer by mid-June, and Mid-July for the Limited Editions.

(Dansko actually made a pink lolita sandal in the past to benefit breast cancer awareness, there were a huge hit!)

We're so excited about these new colors, hope you are too!

Sincerely,
Lise
Dansko Customer Service

PS - BTW I spoke with someone also at Sanita Clogs, the actual manufacturer of Dansko's clogs (or they were until Aug 2007!). They said to stay away from the "Brocade" clogs that are out now and expensive. They come in black,brown and red brocade with flower patterns stiched in.

Sanita reps tell me they are having HUGE problems with the flowers that are sewn onto the shoe falling off. Calling it a defect. If you have questions send an email by going to the Sanita website at www.sanitaclogs.com. There is a link to send an email. They get back to you right away!
Buyer beware!

I always wore Nike Airs until I tried on a pair on Danskos. Now I'm sold and have them in black and white. They took a little getting used to, but now you couldn't pay me to wear anything else.

See, that is what makes me leery --- I keep hearing people say 'oh, you just have to get used to them'.

Me..I wear Dansko shoes in black. They were rotten to break in the first two weeks and I could only wear them part of the day. Now, they are super comfortable. I see a lot of nurses wearing Crocs and I wonder if they offer good support and comfort?

Thanks for sharing
I wear Zcoils,because they have been the shoe that works for me
I am older and 12 hours is a very long time to be on my feet.I am an ER
nurse in a busy place.
I have them in white,black,brown,navy , and gray.
The Zcoil made a world of difference in my feet,ankles,knees,and my back
I went from lots of pain in all areas to felling like I am walking on a cloud.
thank you
