CrocsMen's and Women's Literide Clog

After a bit of effort in ordering these, like ordering the wrong size first, and an unexplained cancellation of order on my second attempt, I finally got the right size and it actually came! These shoes are SO worth the wait!For sizing, I normally wear an 8 1/2 shoe...and sometimes even a 9 depending on how shoes run (large or small). I can say that with Crocs clogs I wear a solid 8. My Crocs clogs are the only 8's in my closet which does prove that they do run big. I have a pair of Crocs sandals and in those a 9 fit, so you can see where some confusion might arise.With this particular pair of shoes, the foot bed is AMAZING. They use a foamy-rubber they call "LiteRide" and it is like walking on a cloud! There is some arch support but not overly much so. Since the LiteRide foam on the bottom (which is attached to the shoe itself) is so forgiving , you don't really need the same support as you would with a more rigid shoe-bottom. I can't see how shoe orthotics would work in these shoes for those of you who use them. With this amazing foot bed, you may not need them anyway.Numerous holes in the top of the shoe keep your foot cooled nicely. There is a strap on the shoe which can be worn on the back across your heal or over the top of the shoe if you don't need it. Since Crocs run wide, I do like the strap to be across my heal.These shoes are so amazing that I could walk for MILES in them...be on my feet all day in them...live in them. I see a second pair in my near future.

I'm giving these 5 stars mostly because my husband who LOATHES anything produced by Crocs...actually didn't hate these. I ordered the size that I normally wear in original Crocs, which usually feel a bit tight. Unfortunately, that same size in the Literide swallows my feet. So, husband got the wrong sized shoe and I ordered a size down. Which worked out for the best.Wore these at Disneyland and Las Vegas for a week each and I cannot believe how much foot pain was avoided by doing so. My normal rotation is to bring 3 pairs of shoes on theme parking/heavy walking trips: a pair of Keens sandals, a new pair of Sketchers Go-Walk, and Crocs mostly for wearing inside the hotel room. Every day I'd rotate to try and keep my feet from wearing down the shoes and inevitably my feet would be killing me after a few days. Not much exaggeration - there would be an intense pain as if the whole bottom of my foot was deeply bruised and set on fire. It'd be torture to walk so I'd hobble. I wore these Literide's for the first time this year and completely bypassed footpain. I was stunned. There's more cushion than the old Croc clogs, they are much lighter, and look so much better. This is the best shoe, period. My husband surprisingly agrees - he wore them every day for about 3 weeks on various vacation and conference attending.Highly recommend using some Chamois Butt'r Original Anti-Chafe Cream, 10-pack of 9mL packets on the top of your foot if you're not used to going sockless. I've tried various other sticks and gels but this stuff was also wonderful and super convenient to carry with you since the packets are so small.

My husband suffers horribly with problems related to flat feet and cysts that grow on the bottom of his feet. Shopping for shoes is a literal nightmare. Only about two percent (or less!) of all shoes work for him, because of the pain. Crocs have been a go-to for the last several years for his daily "at home" pick. We discovered this model the last time we shopped for Crocs, and they are, by far, his number one choice. The inner part of the shoe is made differently than the other Croc styles we've had, being that they are softer and feel better on [his] foot. The arch support seems to "give" a bit more, due to the fact the material is softer. The width also works for both narrow and regular fit. He tends to be more narrow. The toe box is wide enough to accommodate. They are breathable, easy to clean, forgiving, and long wearing. They come in nice colors and color combinations. We emphatically hope they continue to make this style... (hint, hint...) because searching down another option is, as I said, a nightmare. These are, hands down, ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I would give them more, if I could!

When box arrived I thought it was empty. Shoes are very light in weight. However I use them for gardening and have found them sturdy. Part of the design allows me to have the strap behind my heel or on top of the shoe for easy slip in and out. Working in garden they get dirty and can be easily rinsed off. The numerous holes on top keep my feet cool. And for people with very high insteps they would find the design allows for enough room to be comfortable. These shoes are great for easing the stress and pain off the toes and ball of your foot which is why I bought them in the first place. Happily that is a fact, my toes are not in pain even after several hours of weeding or bending over. As I realize I was wearing them other places because they are so comfortable, I will be buying another pair.
