Crocs Specialist - experiences?


Does anyone wear these and if so how do you like them? I really want a pair of crocs with no holes and these have good reviews. Any experiences would be appreciated.

I have a pair. They don't fit quite as nicely as other Crocs do, I think because of the bigger heel cup. It affects how they fit a little and they aren't as comfortable. But I still like them and wear them on a fairly regular basis.

Now all the croc lovers may disagree... So if you have owned crocs before and liked them maybe you will feel different. I have to have all white shoes and heard good things about the specialist. I personally do not like them. they make my feet look huge (I am a size 8) my scrub pants are constantly getting stuck in the back strap and they don't clean as easily as i thought they would. My main purpose for getting them is so that I could "wash away" the germs. The bottoms are stained a yellowy color which is what the grass stains turned into after I bleached them. They are very comfortable though, but are not supportive if that is what you need.

I've been wearing the white ones and find them very comfy. I do feel
like they make my foot look big (I wear a 9.5 shoe so had to order a Men's 8) but my husband says they don't look that big/as big as my other generic croc type shoes. They are wicked comfy and I love that there are no holes. I ordered the black ones today.
They were finally in stock.

I just got a pair on Monday. I love them. I am one of those people who loves the way that regular Crocs feel, but HATE the way they look. I think these are better in that regard - you certainly won't win any fashion shows wearing them, but their appearance is unobtrusive enough. I love that they don't have the ugly holes on top. I got the ones with the side vents and they keep my feet from getting too sweaty.

The heel cup is a bit deeper than regular crocs, which I don't mind. I they they feel a little more supportive than other crocs, also. All shoes like this make your feet look big, so I don't care about that.

I got these for regular work days and a pair of the Mammoths in black to wear on super cold days, and I definitely don't regret the decision. I recommend them. They are designed much better for jobs in healthcare.

Well, my black ones arrived and they fit snugger than my white ones. I actually like the fit better. I think they might all fit a little different as my white ones are looser. Oh well, they are still both very comfy. I like the no holes and the black ones will look good with scrubs or street clothes for work.

Yeah, mine are white but they are a more snug fit than other Crocs i have worn. I like that because it seems to cut down on the dreaded "croc stop" since they don't flop around on your foot so much.

I dont like them because they are to wide and I end up tripping over my feet and turning my ankles. For those of you that like them, I bought mine for under 30.00 w free s/h from www.shoebuy.com.

Ok, I will preface this by saying that I swore I would NEVER wear Crocs because they are flat out ugly. However (you knew it was coming), someone convinced me to try on a pair of theirs, and I was amazed. I now have the Specialists in White and Black. I have the men's 8 also, and yes I look like I have clown feet, but my feet don't swell in them, and they have what i consider to be pretty decent arch support. I have the strap pulled forward, and I never have a problem with them sliding around on my foot. Do try them on though at a store before you order them online because they don't fit like regular shoes at all...good luck!
