Crocs Athens Thong Sandal

My average-width feet are 10-3/8" long; I typically wear a size-10 shoe. Per the advice of other reviewers, I sized down to a size-9 W Croc, and the fit is perfect. If you'd asked me a year ago if I'd ever own Crocs, without hesitation I would've said: Nope! In a farm & homestead setting, the popular style of Crocs— riddled with holes like Swiss cheese— admits far too much dirt and debris to be practical. (Speaking from experience after farmsitting for friends who have been using pop Crocs as their outdoor chores.) But when I learned about these specialist versions— without all the holes— it was an aha! moment. I've been wearing my Crocs daily since April (approx. 6 month), and they are PERFECT for my application. I live in the country and need an easy solution for frequent transitions from indoor slippers to outdoor slippers. I want a comfortable and durable outdoor slip-on that covers my toes, provides decent traction, and keeps my socks clean and dry no matter what I get up to outside. Every day I use these clogs for gardening and light-duty homestead chores (and sometimes heavier projects), and they keep my socks clean & dry, even when I accidentally slosh water all over myself. (I'd recommend changing into proper work boots, however, if you're walking in exposed/loose soil, as deep/fluffy/dusty dirt can creep in over the open heel of a clog.) These specialist Croc clogs have been a big improvement over my former go-to outdoor slip-ons: Muck boots. The boots will come out again for winter, but for spring–fall they can be a bit overkill and hot. (I don't mind sweaty socks if I'm hard at work, but when the sweat creeps up your legs it's a little less comfortable!) The Muck boots also aren't as easy to slip on/off, so sometimes I'd skip pulling them on if thought I was only stepping out for something quick & easy, only to return later with my so-called house slippers wet and dirty. The easy on/off of a Crocs clog has helped me kick that bad habit. The Mucks are also more expensive— at least twice the price— so the wear & tear you put on them from crouching positions comes at a greater cost. Although I take care to store them inside (out of the sun, duh people!) between uses, I've definitely been hard on my Crocs— sometimes getting too comfortable and wearing them for intensive projects that would've been better suited for a genuine work/hike boot. Plenty of time spent crouching over tasks on the ground has imparted a permanent crease over the top that will probably crack open someday. But when that day comes, I'll replace these clogs with the exact same Crocs. These specialist Crocs have also been excellent camp shoes— keeping my feet cozy and protected from errant twigs and forest floor debris, and keeping my socks clean & dry while handling camp chores. A big improvement over flip-flops, which used to be my go-to camp & casual outdoor footwear. Fun fact: I consciously realized I was "sold" on these Crocs after dreaming that I'd worn a high-heeled version of them to a block party in a big city (pfff! as if! LOL), and— having taken them off at some point— I refused to leave the party until I found them. When I found them, someone had vomited into one and taken a bite out of the other, and I was still like: Nope— these are coming home with me! When I woke up from that bizarre scenario I had to admit to myself: I'm in love with my (specialist) Crocs!

I am very satisfied with these Crocs Bayaband. From the first wear, they feel incredibly comfortable thanks to their lightweight and cushioned material. They are ideal for wearing all day long without tiring your feet, whether at home, running errands, or even at work. The design is modern and sporty, and the contrasting colors with the logo give them a very attractive look. In addition, the material is durable and easy to clean, which makes them perfect for everyday wear. The back strap provides a secure fit and allows them to be worn as either sandals or shoes. Another advantage is that they are very breathable, allowing for proper ventilation, preventing odors and excessive sweating. It's definitely an excellent quality product that's worth every penny. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for comfort, style, and practicality in a single pair of shoes!

These are great for work and being on my feet all day. They’re lightweight and fit perfect, plus easy to get in and off. They support my flat foot. Get them.

I don't consider myself a creature of habit - I like to try new things, and look for variety in my purchases. Except when it comes to these loafers. I'm now on my fourth pair of these Crocs since buying my first pair in 2013, and I love them. I use them primarily around the house, but will wear them out and about some as well. I typically fold the heel fabric down and use these like clogs where I can just easily slip my feet into them. On average, these seem to last me about three to four years, often wearing them at least 3-4 times a week if not every day. They are comfortable and adjust to form-fit to the soles of your feet over time, providing a pretty good level of arch support. Once you get past the first day or two with them, the soles of the shoes get scuffed up enough to prevent slipping, and the fabric holds up to stains and spills pretty easily. They can be thrown in the washing machine, although I've never put mine in the dryer. Typically, I realize that it's time to replace them when the soles have almost worn smooth, when the stains start to be more noticeable, and when my toes start to wear holes in the fabric. I'm wearing this new pair now, about a month after I bought them, and they have broken in perfectly, and are extremely comfortable.

Prepare yourselves, fellow patriots and fashion rebels, for I have discovered the ultimate sartorial statement: the Red, White, and Blue Crocs brand clogs. And let me tell you, it's not just footwear; it's a lifestyle, a declaration, a full-blown national anthem for your feet. From the moment I slipped my weary soles into these vibrant, perforated wonders, I knew my life would never be the same. Are they beautiful? Objectively, perhaps not in the traditional sense. But beauty, my friends, is in the eye of the beholder, and my eyes are now permanently dilated with the sheer, unadulterated joy of these clogs. They don't just walk; they parade. Every step is a miniature Fourth of July celebration, a tiny, squishy fireworks display for your ankles. I've worn them to the grocery store, and strangers have saluted. I've worn them to a backyard BBQ, and bald eagles have reportedly flown overhead. My dog, usually indifferent to my footwear choices, now barks "U-S-A! U-S-A!" every time I put them on. Okay, maybe that last part is an exaggeration, but you get the idea. Comfort? Oh, the comfort! It's like walking on patriotic clouds, each bubble of Croslite foam whispering sweet nothings of freedom to your arches. And the holes! Not just for ventilation, mind you, but for the subtle, yet undeniable, hint of rebellion. Are they letting air in, or are they a secret code for "I'm here to party, and my feet are ready"? The world may never know. If you're looking for subtle elegance, keep walking. But if you're ready to embrace unapologetic comfort, undeniable personality, and a footwear choice that screams "I love America and I don't care who knows it (or judges my shoe choices)," then these Red, White, and Blue Crocs are your destiny. Five stars? My dear friends, they deserve a 50-star flag and a national holiday.

Cute and comfy. These are narrow so more flattering than classic crocs. Tighter around the middle, maybe not best for wide feet. But because they're not perforated, they do get a little warm and sweaty.

Best causal shoe I’ve worn. Very comfortable and light weight.

Kids and crocs are life! These are made for anything and hold up great. The price wasn’t bad. My 8 year old finds these comfortable and wear these with everything LITERALLY! Will order more colors!
