Eh, they're okay. Comfortable but they run a bit small so that kind of takes away from the comfort level. Nice shoe to just slip on casually, but I don't feel comfortable wearing them with anything but a pair of shorts when I'm headed to the store. I thought they would be okay for going out to restaurants or something like that but they just kind of look like really old, beat up shoes. Seems overpriced for what they are. Great if you need a pair of shoes by the front door to take out the garbage or get the mail but there are much cheaper alternatives to do that.

Love, but the top of the shoe rubs against the top of my foot, a bit painful

I think the shoe looks good. But I have wide flat feet. I bought them because initially I thought the were comfortable. The inner soul is different from traditional Crocs that I've had. It is a bit narrower and looks like a couple different sections. The salesperson said it was a new soul. We went on vacation in NYC and we walked a lot. The bottom of my feet formed a couple of blisters. I changed over to my running shoes instead for the long walks. This might be be better for normal arched feet. Also got planter fasciitis after wearing this. Been dealing with it since. I do like the look of it. Might be better for short walks.

Love the shoes but they run small. Can't wear what I ordered. Should have stepped up a size. Would have given five stars but the fit issue hurts. Make sure you go up one size from your normal number.

I have worn Santa Cruz for 3 years, everyday, love them! These are going back, super comfortable but WAY to formal looking. They would have a winner if these were made fuzzy like the current Santa Cruz.

They all get a hole on top by the stitching by the big toe and long toe. I love the shoes but they get this hole too quick. It might be a strategy to sell more shoe.

Okay so these are the most comfortable shoes I have ever worn and that is very impressive. The footbeds are amazingly comfortable and soft.The price was phenomenal. The only thing that was rather disappointing was the fabric was frayed and I know that this is the style however A lot of the canvas that was frayed had to be pulled off and it was as if the entire fabric was unraveling.I finally ended up cutting off and burning the pieces to prevent further freying which is never a good thing to have to do when purchasing a new pair of shoes.

I love my Santa Cruz Crocs. I have probably bought six pair over the past 2/3 years. Super comfortable, however, they wear a hole in the fabric toe after awhile. When they start looking worn, I wear them for yard work.

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 was looking for a shoe that did not force my big toe into the others. These shoes provide extra toe room and a little stretching to accommodate further. They are the most relaxed fit I have found. The factory insoles were most uncomfortable. I tried several replacement insoles from Zappos. The following two felt the best: Montrail Enduro-Sole #7496490 (go 1 size smaller) & Spenco Polysorb Heavy Duty Insole #7914295. Sorbothane Insoles were a close third. I kept all three. This is a slipper quality shoe. Threads unravel and need to be trimmed. Used as a shoe I expect them to last around six months, & will probably buy another pair.

Five stars for comfort. Zero stars for durability. Once the canvas fabric is scratched it starts to unravel and can't be repaired. It is more like burlap than canvas. If Crocs would make this shoe in a soft variant of ballistic nylon it would be fantastic. I will try the leather version, as maybe that is durable.

These are Very comfortable shoes, but I ordered the Blue which I thought was going to be a darker blue, more like a navy blue as the online picture represents. The color blue that I received was more like a powder blue, much lighter than I had expected. I wear them with jeans and the they look even lighter. I would prefer the color in the picture as described.

I love these shoes but unfortunately they have begun to fall apart with less than a year's use. I got them in July 2012 and wore them frequently until the winter months. Then put them away until spring. The sole is peeling off from the front of both shoes. Also, no matter what I wash them I can't get the odor out of them. I don't typically have problems with shoe odor, so I don't know what's going on.

Very comfortable shoe. Visually not a shoe you can wear anywhere other than casual. I don't like the unfinished look of the seams. I followed the instructions and found that they were too small. Had to return them, which cost me $12 extra in shipping. Color seem more blue than black. Not sure if I would purchase again.

A little chunky on style, smallish for the stated size, not very durable -- lasted half of a week in Maui on the beach and three months of moderate indoor-outdoor use around the house, big toe wore through, heels began to pull up. I picked mine up on sale and got my money's worth, I suppose. Got 5 times the mileage out of a pair of Margaritaville Sanuk knock-offs.

Excellent BUT (BIG BUT) it does NOT last enough. Material at the front shoe breaks easily and you will have a HOLE within 90 days during summer. With Socks, you must buy a larger number. Excelent BUT not durable. SHOULD HAVE REINFORCEMENTS because material does not last.

Although the web site recommends ordering down for 1/2 sizes I suggest ordering UP.
I am a 10 1/2 M so I ordered a size 10 and the shoes were much too short and tight...it was very difficult just trying to get into them. I cut out the elastic goring on both sides which enabled me to at least get into them more easily but the tips of my big toes still rub against the canvas...the shoes are too short.
Don't buy them on the web site, find a store and actually try them on...it's the best guarantee of a correct fit.

I wish the sole wasn't quite so "tall". I like the comfortable croslite material footbed better.

I always buy this size in mens, but this one is too big. I was so disappointed too because I love this style. I'm lucky that I live close enough to the Boulder store that I can return them, but bummed that they're too big. I still love Crocs, just wish the sizing was more consistent.

I have relatively narrow feet, but my toes do splay out like most people's. These shoes, like most crocs, are too wide for the length of my feet, without giving proper room to my toes. I ended up getting the croc walu. It fits great.

Bought a pair like these in different color at another store and they fit differently. These are comfortable but run a little small.

I got mine for $12.00 on a special and it is worth that but be forewarned. The upper material is comfortable but don't expect more that a few months of daily wear before the seams split on the top.
