Opinions on Crocs

[BowlerRN]

Hi, I was just wondering if anyone wore crocs to work? I've heard some controversy about insurance companies not allowing them to danger of tripping. I admit that I have 2 pairs although I think they are really ugly (due to the holes). They are really comfy, my feet feel just fine after a 12 hour day, but I also have noticed that I do tend to almost trip in them often. Anyone else have any opinions.

I decided to buy a pair of Crocs - have heard so many good things about them re: comfort.

Unfortunately my feet are too narrow to wear them - didn't work at all for me.

I love my crocs and I found I was also tripping a lot more than normal. I found that if I wear shoe covers over them I glide like the wind. It also helps when you have that unfortunate accident with the bedpan:

What style did you buy?

The Metro and the Cayman are more narrow than the Beach and the Highland. Perhaps if you tried a more narrow style they might work better for you. BTW, they will still feel big. Your feet should not touch the sides of the shoe.

I used to wear Crocks but not anymore. I really loved them when I first bought them. I had the problem with the tripping. I also think the treads on the botton wear down fast. I had two nasty falls in my crocs and they went in the garbage after that.

My feet are too narrow for the Crocs. I've heard that the Airwalk knock-offs are much narrower. But I'm sticking to my Dansko's (though I turn out my ankles on these, just like another poster said - but I've always tended towards the clutzy side.)
