Designed for use by boaters and outdoor enthusiasts, Crocs are made from a light and durable foam material called Croslite, which molds to the shape of the wearer's foot to provide comfort and support during a variety of tasks. All-over foot support comes in the form of heel cups and arches, and the interior foot bed is lined with small nubs which massage tired feet. In addition, cross-ventilating air holes ensure feet do not become overheated after a long day at work.

On the Other: Potential Concerns

While not specifically targeting the physical comfort level of the shoes, reports of people (especially children) getting their toes stuck in escalators while wearing Crocs have begun to surface. A link has been suggested between these dangerous and painful safety issues and Crocs shoes for one of the precise reasons they are often commended: their flexible, if somewhat clunky, construction.

Bottom Line

While safety issues may play a role in assessing the comfort level of Crocs in certain situations, the shoes are overwhelmingly praised for their design and materials. In a true testament to the superior comfort level they provide, they have become the shoe of choice for nurses, restaurant servers and many others who work on their feet.
