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.

Orthofeet 525 they dont look THAT bad

I'll admit that I didn't feel the Orthofeet 525 looked quite as good in person as they did in the photographs on the site. In fact I wasn't real sure I wanted to keep them but my spouse said "they don't look THAT bad". They do feel a bit like wearing boots compared to my old New Balance shoes (that I wore EVERYWHERE), especially on stairs. They are quite comfortable, though, so I'll keep wearing them. I had to put in one of the (included) foam spacers under the removable insole in order for my foot to not move around too much. I'm not at all confident that the velcro strap will last nearly as long as my old New Balance shoes did. After just a couple of weeks it already seems loose at the end.
Wears this shoe: Whenever I am not sleeping or working out.
