Got a pair of these a couple months ago. I love 'em. http://tinyurl.com/mq5t5s Again, very similar to mine except mine are of more water tolerant material and are designed to dry in literally minutes after you come out of the water. None of the material, including inside, absorbs water... Also, mine have a plastic mesh between the open areas to protect against pebbles, fish, sticks, and other nasties that can get into a more open shoe... Seriously, go to a sporting goods store and look into these hybrid sneaker/boatshoe/sandal type shoes, they provide protection, comfort, real foot support, they stay on, dry in an instant, and pass as regular sneakers in any off water situation... -- Wafa free since 2009 |

You do flip the little 'strap' behind your heel when using crocs around the water eh? Around the house I just flip that strap forward. BTW...the Crocs aren't supposed to hold odor...unless you smell like Dingy Dan. Then all bets are off. Nice troll attempt, dummy. I wouldn't be caught dead in a pair of Crocs. |

Wonder if you have a 'knock-off' version, or one of the newer styles? I wear knock-offs of the knock-offs |
