Arch pain is the inflammation of the foot arch - the fibrous band of tissue that connects the heel bone to the toes. The main factors that may lead to someone experiencing arch pain are: over-stretching of the arch , which can cause tiny tears in the ligament; structural imbalances such as over-pronation; or abnormally flat feet. The most common treatments for arch pain can include use of orthotic aids such as arch supports, heel wedges, gel heel cups, metatarsal pads and pain killers.
Crocs Specialist Shoe made a little bit different now....

I love wearing my Crocs Classics but I wanted something for those days that might be a tad colder - and might be a bit wet. You just can't have holes surrounding your feet on those days. So I opted for the Specialist to wear with jeans and sweats when I walk the dog in the wintertime. I ordered a size larger than what I would normally wear in the "hole-y" Crocs so that I could wear some thick socks. And these work just fine.My only complaint (and that of other reviews) is that the back strap is more cheaply made than Crocs from a couple of years ago. The back strap is a bit more flimsy and, therefore, harder to put around your heel. The older ones were more rigid and your heel just slid in. With these, you might actually be standing on part of the back strap as you try to maneuver the entire thing around the base of your foot. That's my only complaint.
Wears this shoe: Mid-Atlantic region....I wear these when dog-walking in the colder, wet months.
