Great shoe little too wide

So, I have reached a stage in my life when I am having swelling in my feet. I can no longer get my foot into my Muck Boots gardening shoes. So I am looking for something I can easily slip on when running out into the garden or to get the mail. First I got a pair of classic Crocs (the ones with the holes). It fit great, was easy to slip my feet into, and is very comfortable. But THE HOLES. I had gotten past the esthetics of these shoes, but when I was using the garden hose or walking through wet grass, or walking through beauty bark, my feet got wet, or I got beauty bark in my shoes. So back to the Zappos web site. So then I found these, Crocs with no holes! Yes, I read that it was designed with food industry workers in mind. That's okay, that just means they should be comfortable. Yes, I read that Crocs lock™ tread meets industry non-skid standards for increased traction. Well that was fine, I won't slip on wet or icy pavement. So they fit my swollen feet just fine, they are comfortable, so out to the back yard I go. Where my patio is covered with those little tiny male fir cones from the neighbor's Douglas firs (brought down in the last blustery day). And I also walked through beauty bark, and I use the hose. My feet are nice and dry. So, I get ready to come back into the house, grab my brush to brush off the soles of my shoes, and oh...my...God. These shoes have a super-fine tread, that almost looks like tires that have been siped. Everything I have stepped on is squished in and embedded into these tiny, tiny crevices. I brushed, I sprayed with the garden hose (jet spray), I still have stuff stuck to the bottom of my shoes. So, My advice is these are great indoor shoes, but you don't want to wear them outdoors. If you still think you want to buy them for outdoor use, look very very carefully at the pictures of the sole.
