Customer Reviews Crocs Swiftwater Sandal

Ugly. Very ugly. Wide & ugly. I kept them because i need sandals and wear a 5, which is close to impossible to find. Oh yes- no “give”. You may as well be walking on concrete.

This is NOT the Crocs comfort I've come to expect! I have been buying - and living in- Crocs sandals for about 5 years. I started with their classic open-toed flat sandal that was brown on the outer sole and uppers and the pink insole - so cushiony and immediately comfortable. Bought two more pairs in similar styles in subsequent years because they do eventually compress after a few hundred miles, like I put on them. Then you start feeling the lumps and bumps in the concrete beneath your feet. So this spring I bought the Swiftwater model in black. As soon as I put one on, I knew the cushioning in the insole was completely different - there wasn't any. I got out my last Crocs (Meleen Twist) pair I'd bought and put one on and one of the Swiftwater on the other foot - no contest - they were so different. I then tried the same thing with a 5-year old pair I had relegated to the garage and they were about the same - flat, no effective cushioning in either sandal. So skip this and try another model if the cushiony feel is important to you. Isn't that why we buy Crocs?

NO support whatsoever. No arch, no nothin'.

HUGE! a size 8 fit like a size 10. Thought I got a man's shoe by mistake! The straps are about 1" from touching the top of my foot. I don't think this is how the shoe is made to fit, Crocs actual website states that these fit snug. So it leads me to believe that the straps have already stretched out from previous customers. And if they stretch that easily, I do not want to purchase. I have Crocs from over 5 years ago that look practically brand new when cleaned, and those straps have minimally stretched. Seems quality has declined.
