Trying hard to wear out my 2nd pair of Crocs. I've been using them as
boat shoes and slippers for about 10 years.
Sometimes I'll even walk the dog in them.
A little loosy goosy for any distance walking but ok for what I use 'em for.


I didn't get along with Crocs!

I prefer Teva sandals. They're comfy, adjustable in several places, easy
on and off, and have a good heel and sole.

I am thinking along those lines.,

I was one of the first users of Tevas years ago, and have owned a lot of
them. Still like them, but I think the Keen's are better. They do not
seem to get the stinky foot pad like Tevqs do these days. Very similar
styles.


Neither of those brands, in their boat shoe configuration sandals, look to be easy on/off.

For me, nothing beats open back sandals for ease of use or comfort. Next
is the boat shoe style, then the New Balance. For dress, it's a stylish
comfortable work shoe.

I dislike open back as the foot wants to come off the back. Set the back
loos enough and they come off easy. Plus are Velcro and easy to remove.
