Crocs shoes

[Crankin]

I got a pair of Keens for canoeing last year. They are very stable and non slippery, but they are heavy. This year, I was looking for a pair of very light sandals to bring on my bike tour, because the lunch stops are "on your own," i.e. the support van will not drive up to give you your shoes like they did on my last tour, and I don't want to walk around in my road shoes. I ended up buying another pair of Keens, in a different style. They are the ones in the Terry catalog (or maybe it was Athleta). I didn't want to buy them on line, though, because I had no way of telling how much they weighed. On a whim, I went into a shoe store in Concord center that sells mostly European brands and is super expensive. There were the sandals, on sale! I have been living in them all summer and wear them as soon as my bike shoes come off. My husband is so jealous that he can't find anything like them in men's sandals.

Hi Judy!

Thanks for your info on the Crocs shoes...

If there are 'nubs' on the inside of the shoe, I can't imagine that for my mom she'd find them comfortable at all.

She is in so much pain and more often than not, can't wear anything on her feet - (which can lead to serious problems...) I was just hoping that these might be good, since I've heard so much about them.......

Have a great day all!

Hmmm, I like the nubs! If those shoes were made specifically for diabetic feet, don't you think they'd have taken the sensitivity into consideration? Wouldn't hurt to just try them on...


Diabetic Comfort Shoe

Protective toe cap, elevated heel rim and super soft foot bed

The Cloud, by CrocsRx, is specially designed with the diabetic foot in mind. The super-soft foot bed provides a gentle environment for sensitive feet, while the roomy toe box allows for use of a heavy sock without creating any tightness or pressure points on the foot. In addition, the protective front toe cap and elevated heel rim protect the diabetic foot from stubb(ing?)

I love my Keens and my Birkenstocks. You can never have too many comfy shoes so now because of you naughty TE girls Im going to have to check out these Crocs.

Nanci:

The Crocs (for diabetic feet) actually would be worth a try for my mom . And, if she liked them, I'd be psyched. She hasn't had a comfy pair of shoes for such a long time! It would be nice to see her smile.

Thanks!

p.s. hmmm.....I think that I'd like the "nubs" myself....then again, I enjoy the tingling, too .

Nanci, I like the nubs too. My Crocs are the most comfortable shoes I own and I'm going to need another pair in a really fun color! Black is practical but boring ...decisions, decisions... So, did you order your purple ones yet?

Denise, I haven't seen The Cloud shoe (or know about it), but it does sound like a good choice. It wouldn't hurt to see if these could work for her. You can find them on the website.

I just saw these things called "jibbitz charms" for Crocs shoes --

Kinda cute for kids --- wish they had a little bike charm though.

I'll be getting my mom a pair of the Clouds to try..... Certainly can't hurt - it would be great if she loved them
Of course, I need a pair too -- so many colors to choose from !

Have a peaceful evening!

I just ordered fuschia caymens yesterday. My friend Teresa is going to wear the limes today at work to see if she likes them. Now I just need some jibbitz!

I have a pair the Crocs flip-flop style shoe, the Athens. They are fantastic!
