I placed my order this morning after reading your thread and they said I'll have them by Friday or Saturday. I plan on wearing them like crazy and I'll give you a full update on what I think next week.
I haven't tried them on yet, but I will next week once the kids are back in school! I'm lucky enough to have an LLBean store at our mall.
If they are anything like their other sneakers, I wore their slide/clog sneaks to WDW without breaking them ifirst in and I had the happiest feet in the world! So, my guess is that these will be just fine. And they're not Crocs!
