Our entire family loves all our Crocs. Just a warning, especially for parents. Do not wear them and don't let your kids wear them on escalators!!! While in the Atlanta Airport, we had a terrible experience with our 3 year old little girl. We had just bought her a brand new pair of red mary jane crocs. She was standing on the escalator step beside me. My husband (on the step behind us) saw her foot get jerked in the side and he grabbed her up. The strap on the mary jane broke and the front of the shoe was all torn up. But, thankfully our little gal wasn't hurt. When we called the insurance company to get reimbursement for the shoes, the adjuster said he's paid for many many lost toes! Apparently the big problem is the material the crocs are made of gets caught easily on the side of the escalator step. I thought I was being safe keeping her beside me on the step. Also, untied sneakers are a big risk- they get caught up in the escalator and the laces just get tighter. Meanwhile, we love crocs. Just about all I wear. I have arthritis and can walk all day in Crocs without pain. I especially love the Mary Janes for me and my daugters. Comfortable but cute. I like the styles with holes for ventilation. I got a pair of new Olivia style and they are so cute but my feet get so hot. Just keep all of them off escalators!!!

This are great summer shoes. I got them for my 1 yr old little girl and they are perfect for when she is playing outside and gets sand or water on her feet. They are easy to clean and very cute on her. The only drawbacks are that they don't have much support for her feet like a sneaker or "real" shoe and the plastic makes her feet a little sweaty. Of course all the gibbets make them fun too:)
