I happened to be in a sporting goods store and tried on a pair of those ugly Crocs that the kids are wearing... well I went straight to the cashier as fast as my little sore feet could carry me there, bought my first pair and have been wearing them ever since.
Ugly suddenly becomes secondary to how utterly comfortable they are. They are made out of some squishy rubbery stuff and the cheap imatations you might see in discount stores are not at all like real "Crocs". Expect to pay $30. for the real McCoy and don't waste your money on the cheap imatations because you will not get the same results.
Crocs are available in sporting good stores, ebay , online etc.
They might be in fine department stores but I have'nt been in any lately to know if you can get them there.
They come in several styles and alot of colors including garden green, brown and more subdued colors than my bright blue "Beach" style clogs on the left. The strap in the back can be flipped all the way forward if you don't want to use it for easy slip on and off.
I recently bought the Croc flip-flops "Athens" (on the right) for summer.
They have a cloc style without the holes too.
They clean up in a jiffy with the hose.

Now about what they have done for me. I had a bone spur on my heel and could barely walk upon awakening but I would slip these on and I could walk without pain. After gardening when I get very sore after sitting awhile...same thing ...I would be stiff and in alot of pain upon rising but Crocs make a world of difference.
Trust me...buy some...you will be happy you did!
