I have a previous pair of these Crocs and they are perfect for a variety of situations. They travel well being light and they slip on and off easily. I have worm them from gardening to the beach to sailing and even hiking up a mountain in Greece. They allow my toes to grip and my foot muscles to engage, more like when I am barefoot, only with the safe protection of a flexible sole between me and the rocks. I also like the ridges on the top of the shoes making them a little stylish. Schuh delivered the shoes I ordered in the correct size in a very short time.
