These are basically Nike Crocs. I really hate the way Crocs look and I could never bring myself to wear them, then I saw these and thought I would roll the dice on some shoes that could be hit or miss. First off, these are as comfortable and supportive as any Nike shoes I've owned (and I've owned a lot of Nike kicks over the decades). You could run in these, you could play hoops in these, or if you have a job that requires you to be on your feet all day, you could put in some serious overtime in these. I honestly can't remember ever wearing shoes this comfortable. They're basically all rubber (or a rubber-like material) so you can just hose them off if they ever get dirty. They seem to be waterproof, they get pretty good traction on any surfaces you'll find in the Summertime. They fit like a glove without feeling tight or confining. People might give you a, "WHAT'RE THOSE!?!" or two. I certainly got razzed at work over them a few times, but they're so comfy, I don't care. I can't hear anyone over the sound of my feet feeling like they're in heaven.
