Crocs!

I just got a pair not long ago-a gamble though I must say. How they heck are they so good!?

I have Plantar Faciitis-I had Berkies which were so much better than my tennis shoes but man, my heels would hurt so bad, seriously, a 10/10 on that pain scale! Nothing seemed to help. I did the stretching, the ice, everything. Finally, I was just fed up with it. I even put padding in the heels. Didn't help. On a whim, I bought the crocs. I got the kind that don't have holes in them. Immediately my heels quit hurting. Now, my knees seemed to hurt more though-over a week or so, the knees quit hurting and NOW I feel wonderful. No more heel pain! I don't wake up in the am hobbling around like I am 90-I am so dumbfounded as to how they work and why they are so much better than the birkies. I feel bad though, My mom bought the birkies for me and I have no reason to wear them again.

I am 28 with some injuries and issues that add to my over all discomfort. I had bilat knee hyperextension when I was a Highschool cheerleader which is now arthritis. I have had a fusion of my lumbar spine too.

Simply amazed. BUT

Did someone mention on here that crocs are antimicrobial?

Theree's a pair of Crocs ("Silver Cloud") that supposedly had silver particles mixed in the material that combats odor, fungus, and microbes.

The other models are labeled as "bacterial and odor resistant".

My facility did as well. But not until after someone actually did fall. She tripped over her own two feet. Now we all must pay. Some people wear them anyway, I just chose not to make waves. I have been sticking to birks while at work. Unfortuanely I somehow got my crocs into the wash. Now they are too small. :uhoh21: So at some point I need to go buy some more.

she probably fell in the fake crocs. shall we call them 'frocs'?

crocs were first marketed as boat shoes, specifically non-slip.

did i mention i got the new mary-jane style crocs in gold!! love 'em!

These are also available through podiatrists - I'm seeing one for PF and their in-office shoe store has them.

Thanks for letting me know! Ordering online is quite expensive -- with added shipping cost.

Have any of you seen the crocs buttons you can put in the holes of the shoes on top? A few stores here at the beach sell them and they are just adorable. Hearts and butterflies, stuff like that. A lot of nurses have bought them and they look great. Just wanted to know if anyone else has seen them.

Here's where you can find the things to put in your crocs!

Rural Oz OT. We all wear crocs.

Jibbitz is in the works of being bought by Crocs.

I LOOOOOOVE my Crocs. Used to wear Dansko's, but they killed my knees - they're like walking on wooden blocks - no shock absorbance.

I have really high arches, so I stick arch supports in my Croc's, and there you have the world's perfect shoe! And the fact that they're $30 - $40 each - how can you beat that?

Thank God my hospital doesn't ban them. I'd be in pain all day without them.

I was so happy to get the Crocs! My feet are much happier now!

Are the vents on the side really necessary? I know that fluid will not run into the vents, but does it really help keep your feet cooler?

Necessary, not really (they make a model that has no holes or vents also) but they keep my feet drier.

Big time! I have a pair with no holes, and they get pretty hot...
