Re: Crocs Specialist - experiences?

I have the crocs specialist in white. They started making a noise though when I walk and it's really irritating. So, I figured I wouldn't buy the same shoe in white. lol

I have a small foot and crocs always seemed like they were swallowing my feet.

I found out that Skechers had a similar shoe, same antimicrobial material, that fits much smaller.

If you want to avoid the stained bottoms on the white shoes, choose the crocs Bistro instead. They are the same shoe as the specialist except they have a black nonmarking/nonslip sole. I LOVE them!!

I seem to manage with my Easy Spirit walking shoes, but I'd really prefer something that would make me feel like I did 40 years ago!

I have plantar fasciitis. My feet got relief within 30 minutes after I put on my first pair of Crocs about 8 years ago, and I haven't been able to wear anything else since. The Easy Spirit slides I bought recently are better than any other non-crocs, but still just not the same.

If the reason your company will not allow Crocs is because of the holes &/or because they're backless - the Specialist will work for you.

From the Crocs website - "These casual work shoes were designed to meet workplace standards. Crocs™ Specialist is based on Crocs™ original clog design, but with a closed heel and closed toe design."

They're also making insoles now!

Re: Crocs Specialist - experiences?

Hello everyone,
I need to buy a pair of Crocs Specialist too,but I can't decide which one to buy; Specialist or Specialist Vent. What are the advantages and disadvantages of the holes? I need your suggestions, because I haven't experienced it yet and there is no store in my town which sells Crocs.Hope some of you can help me

Re: Crocs Specialist - experiences?

Crocs Specialists are the ONLY shoe that I wear for work! THEY are the best!! I have "bad" feet and have tried every shoe out there...haven't bought anything else since I started wearing Crocs Specialists.

I started out with the ones without the vents, but I found in the summer time my feet sweat in them so I went to the vented ones. I will wear the non-vented in the winter time. I actually have 4 pair in white, 1 in black and 1 in brown. I normally wear a size 6.5-7.5 shoe and in the Crocs Specialists I wear the size 7.

I highly recommend them!

I am forever falling over my own feet, but love the lightweight crocs - so comfy for standing around in the OR. Find Danskos hard on my feet, roll my ankle, and soooooooooo heavy my shins hurt after getting spoiled by crocs!

I do hate the wide feet look - sometimes no-name brand croc imitators are just as good, cheaper and narrower.

I do wash in the dishwasher regularly to disinfect and also to shrink them back to original size. Have to use the heel straps too - don't know how people don't walk out of them when they don't.

Re: Crocs Specialist - experiences?

So I'd better to buy non-vented ones for winter and buy vented ones for summer

I havent experienced them yet so I had no idea about the difference.thanks for your suggestions.
