These are the most comfortable shoes I've ever worn. I usually wear Clarks but these Crocs are actually more comfortable. Great instep support. Sizes run a bit small. Had to order the next higher size. Will buy a second pair soon.

A Very comfortable shoe if they just lasted in the toes longer. I have had 3 pairs, wear them daily, and walk the dogs 4 or 5 times a day. Still have lots of sole, but no toes. Improve the material or stitching around the toes. Not buying more till I see this happen.

These are awesome shoes, I wear them all the time. They seem true to size and are very comfortable. The only thing I have found is that because the bottom is rubber my feet sweat a bit in them. But I do wear them with socks which helps. I own several pairs of them and they get compliments all the time. Really great shoes for lots of occasions. The body of them stretch a bit to your foot but more form to them. I would 100% buy again.

I have purchased five pair of the Santa Cruz. My wife tells me I have a croc disorder! Lol! Honestly I love the shoe as it is the most comfortable I've ever owned but as with others the Santa Cruz wears out at the toes quickly even after buying a larger size. Love the comfort but the quality is bad. I won't buy anymore until they double the strength of the material in the toe of the shoe.

If I could get them in 10.5, I would easily rate then as 5 stars. An 11 is too big. It slips up and down on me. A 10 seems to fit well and is extremely comfortable but I get holes in the toes of my Crocs in a less than a year.

As I'm aging, my legs and feet are less and less pleased with my choices in running 30+ miles/week and playing soccer 1-2x/week. So I bought these, hoping they'd be a reasonably fashionable summer shoe with good support for these tired dogs attached to the ends of my legs. So far, so good. They don't always give me the beat arch support, but they generally are sufficient in that regard.

I have basically worn these constantly for the last 3 years. I think I have probably all of the colors that you make. Wish you would make some more. Maybe a Navy blue and a Hunter green. Also, why did you discontinue the flatbeds? They were the best!

My 8 year old absolutely loves his Santa Cruz Loafers. He'll need another pair for the upcoming school year, not because they wore out but because he's grown.

Love these shoes! I had them in blue already, and so I bought these as a second pair. They are super comfortable (thick cushiony soles, but not the rubber tops of a traditional Croc shoe/sandal (which I find makes my feed hot and sticky). These are perfect for casual wear on the weekends, running errands, going to the beach or just wearing around the house. I will definitely buy another pair (at least when my very large size - men's 13/14 - is stocked in another color).

I've worn the same pair of these a lot for about 2 years now. Way longer than I would normally keep a shoe, but they're so great that only now, after 2 years of hard wear have I noticed that the soles are getting a little less bouncy and they're not as comfortable as I would like. So I got a new pair and love them again, worth every penny. The sole is one of the most comfortable I've tried. Normally I wear a custom orthotic insert to keep my arches happy, but these shoes have a really great bounce to them and I've felt that they support my arches fine. They have worn extremely well over the years - you can tell mine aren't new, but the fact is that I've taken them to the beach, walked in the water, used them underwater, played soccer in them - basically I've done all sorts of stuff that would ruin a normal shoe, and these still look good for casual use and they haven't fallen apart. Amazing, overall. My favorite feature: the heel folds down so that I can just slip them on even more easily. In other words, normally you'd slip it on your foot, then stick your finger (or shoe horn) down to pull up the heel over your foot and get it snug onto your foot. I generally just slide my foot into these, crushing the heel portion of the upper with my heel, and boom. I'm done. They often stay on fine for simple use, and if I'm going to walk far, then I pull up the heel and Wow, it's like a real shoe. I can see some wear now where the abuse I've given that heel area is showing, now only after 2 years of wear and tear. Simply the most durable shoe I've had for the meanness I've showed 'em. I bought a pair of the wool-lined Crocs that look like these, but the sole is completely flat and not at all comfortable like these are. Completely different shoe, much to my chagrin. I will keep buying these til they stop making them, and even then I'll probably buy up a stock pile to have them around.

I love that these shoes (a) can be worn without socks, and (b) can be worn with either shorts or long pants. That flexibility is great. If you're a half-size, like me, the fact that they only come in whole sizes is frustrating. Here's what I'd recommend: if you want to wear them with socks, definitely go a size larger. If you're going without socks all the time, the smaller size will fit, but if they get wet, they also get (uncomfortably) tight. I went a half size smaller, and I wish I would have also tried the larger ones. But so far they're working out pretty well.

Needed a closed each shoe for my son's summer camp. Of course, the look is important for a teen, and these shoes did the job 100%.

I found choosing the correct size to be tricky with these shoes. I am a 10.5 and the 11 was too loose around the tongue-heel opening although it was comfortable length wise. The 10, which I am keeping, is short but fits correctly around the tongue-heel opening. Because I believe the manufacturer's sizing is accurate what one must determine if they are a half size is which side of the half size are they on -- half minus or half plus. Because I am a 10.5+ my toe pushes the front of the shoe ever so slightly. I have been told by a friend who has these shoes that they stretch so I am hoping that happens. Otherwise they are super comfortable and feather light.

My husband is a loyal Crocs fan. I just never was able to get him out of them!! We found these for him and he LOVES them! He says it feels like he is walking on pillows. I will be ordering more colors for him.

I love these shoes. They have the Crocs insole so it's rubber and doesn't absorb any smells which is great because they don't look good with socks (no shows maybe). Honestly, I'm just happy I could find shoes in my size! Size 15s are almost impossible to find in anything that doesn't Velcro!

I bought these shoes only for their insoles, to place in the more-work-appropriate but less-comfortable Crocs Walu. I love the simplicity of the Santa Cruz but the frayed edges are too "beach bum" for me. It's certainly true that these shoes have *incredibly* comfortable insoles!
HOWEVER, I left the shoes with the insoles in them in the sun (behind the back seat of a sedan, under the rear window) for a few days and the insoles shrunk like raisins! They're at least a good 2 inches shorter than the shoes now. Unfortunately, Zappos won't let me return them without the original shoes, which I don't have anymore. So I spent this much for a pair of insoles that lasted about two weeks. Very comfortable insoles, just don't leave them in the sun!!!

I bought these shoes for my son who wears a size 16 men's shoe. The shoe only goes to size 15 but I ordered them anyway after talking to a Crocs Rep. He was right- the shoe did fit and he loves them. They are strechable so he doesn't feel snug in them. They are cool and look good.

This first pair of comfortable shoes have survived camping, home construction and summer camp kitchen detail. The first toe has ripped out and all the tread is worn off the sole but I can't let them go.

I bought a pair five years ago on a whim while on vacation, and fell in love instantly. I wore my new shoes out of the store, and have yet to take them off. That is until today. After five years of everything I could throw at them. It was time for a new pair. After trying out several new crocs styles. . Returning pair after pair I went back to old faithful. I then decided to purchase another pair of the santa cruz. Best decision I ever made. These shoes are amazing .

Sadly I am returning these shoes. They are too narrow for my 8 year old son's foot. I wish these came in more junior sizes. I ordered another pair of Crocs (clog style) as my son has had at least one pair of Crocs every summer for the past 7 years and they were the same size as these loafers and they fit perfectly! These shoes are super cute and would be great for casual or even church, unfortunately, not for us.
