Hi guys,
Answering a couple questions.
Someone asked about the flip flops....these are the Niles. I have a bright orange pairs. I don't like them nearly as much as the Beach style, BUT they are still very comfortable and I'm sure I'll bring them to Disney with us (we're going on Feb. 9 - CAN'T WAIT!!!). One thing I like about them is that they have "notches" cut out on the sides where the little bone is by your small toe....so your feet don't feel constrained at all. The only thing I am not so crazy about is that you have to wear the strap on your heel....the strap is very long so it looks pretty silly when it's flipped to the top.
As far as heel spurs go - I don't have them personally but I will tell you that the straps are SUPER comfortable. You hardly notice they are there unlike other shoes. I normally just wear the straps on top but when we're at WDW I will probably use the strap - makes it easy when you want to walk a little faster. You can also stretch out the straps, which is nice.....just be careful so you don't stretch the part where the strap connects to the shoe.
For all of you who have feet problems, arthritis, etc., be sure to check out
Crocs website.....they have a testimonial page where you'll find TONS of people w/ different problems. My boss has rheumatoid arthritis so has problems w/ her knees....she is also an educator, so depending on what class it is, she'll wear her Crocs if she's on her feet all day.....makes a world of difference. And I wear my Crocs to work whenever I can get away with it. i have very wide feet and in the past my feet would always ache at the end of the day - but with Crocs my feet are totally HAPPY all day. And like some other posters mentioned, I will actually wear them around the house and will put them on BEFORE my soft fuzzy slippers!!
And one other note - I have even been wearing them this winter! Not on days when there is lots of snow. But if I wear some socks with them, my feet really don't get cold.
Can't ya tell I'm totally HOOKED on my Crocs???!!!
