Crocs Men's Walu Loafers, Slip-On Shoes, Casual Walking Shoes Review

The short version: my feet feel like they're still in bed all day long - foot HAPPINESS.The slightly longer version:ALL Crocs are a deal with the devil in some way.It started with the big Danish clog look. Ugh.The hot sweltering rubber heat, only helped by gigantic gaping holes in the ugly shoes.Then they wrapped pretty much the same shoes with leather, for a more dignified look (if you didn't look too close). This is where I started with Crocs. Never wore the full-on rubber clogs. Again...ugh.Anyhow, then they became more dignified: the Santa Cruz style introduced a canvas upper (that breathes) and a more normal (if not trendier), more streamlined look (versus the duck feet).Along come the Walu's...My only "major" complaint is the cheap-looking canvas. It almost looks like that kind of weird cheap fabric they use to make the 99 cent eco-reusable shopping bags at Target or your local supermarket. Slightly strange, course in a weird way, odd. (I don't love the browns, either, but bought them because someone else said the khaki color stains easily. I figured I could deal with the brown, and I can.) Other say it is super durable and I can tell you myself even though mine are only a week old, they breathe nicely. You still get the "croc sweats" on the bottom of your feet, but it seems to get better after a few days.The fabric of the shoe does this neat little ripple thing at the top, so they kinda have a bit of a funky, trendy, Tom's shoes type all-fabric look to them. Only difference is they are massively comfortable.Someone was complaining about the Croslite material (which I worship, since I can wear NO socks and yet get NO powerful, room-filling stink-shoe...huge for me. Just wash them off when they get foot "gunk" on them and they are as-new in the smells and odors department) being "just an insert," to which I say...WHO CARES? It's Croslite, and it's NOT the sole (the originals used to wear down relatively fast...this one has nice harder rubber pieces for the high-wear area of the soles...making this shoe nice and long-lasting. Sweet!I have wider feet and these are not the "old days" of free and unrestricted wide foot pancake-age of Crocs' yesteryear...no, if you want somewhat more dignified-looking shoes, you must rein your feet in a bit. For me, the tradeoff is fine. My feet are quite wide and the first few days these things rubbed blisters into the sides of my feet, but now that has loosened. They still feel tight compared to regular Crocs, but the overall experience thus far has definitely been the my-feet-feel-like-they-are-still-in-bed-all-day-long feeling. In fact, I just did a spontaneous woo-hoo happy dance after I got up to walk across the room because of it, and that made me write this review.Highly recommended, recommended with slight reservations (and yet with more visual and style dignity) for the widest of foot (like me). Overall, highly recommended.

I wear these at work with jeans or khakis. They are formal enough that nobody says anything to me and they are incredibly comfortable. I have many pairs of Crocs and love them. I was completely against Crocs until I needed a pair of durable shower shoes in Afghanistan. I had to walk a few hundred feet to the shower trailer at Camp Leatherneck, across gravel and sand, and the flip flops I had been wearing fell apart. The PX only had Crocs at the time, so I begrudgingly purchased a pair. I was going several months without a shower and when I got to a place that had a shower facility I wasn't about to let my pride keep me from getting there. I started wearing them for short periods of down time on my patrol base so my feet could air out and realized how good they are. When I returned home, I purchased a new pair of the all rubber Crocs and a pair of the canvas ones with the ragged edges. I have had some back and hip problems from my time in the Marines and my dress shoes don't give me the support and cushion I'd like. I saw these and bought them instantly. They fit as expected, they look good, they are comfortable and supportive, and they hold up really well. I highly recommend.

These are better looking than the picture indicates, for a canvas top. They are fairly comfortable, but there is one kind of weird thing about them that I am gradually getting used to. Where you put your toes and front bottom part of your foot, there are little nubs or bumps that stick out of the bottom of the shoe that feel kind of strange at first. After a while you totally forget they are there, but be aware, if your feet are hypersensitive to such things, this probably isn't the pair for you. The soles (bottom of shoe) seem well made, and the shoe generally reeks of decent quality. This is my first pair of crocs, and I will probably, if I find another shoe that looks pretty good, buy another pair. They do seem to breathe some, and the fit was pretty good for a medium (I tend to need wider shoes as I be old, and my feet have flattened out). They are kick around shoes, not for a dress up situation, more for jeans and low key clothing.

Great shoe. Comfortable and good to wear in the summer. Drys fast when wet. This is my second pair. I still wear my first pair, I’ve had them for at least 5 years and they still look good.

Nothing

I got these for my husband, he regularly wears the size 13, and these were a little narrow around his foot.

Has a handy tab on back for going on easy.

If these shoes were alive I'd marry them! Wait...I'm married...nevermind. I really, really like these shoes and I'm on my third pair. I wear them until the soles wear too thin for traction a then they are trashed. The arch support is fantastic and by the way, when you wear this shoe out, save the insoles! Put them in shoes that need it! I have seen these on sale (used) on EBay) and should you be tempted, buy the shoe for the insoles and throw the shoe away. They don't wear out and they don't flatten. If you have bad knees, back or hip joints and the like, then these are for you guys and girls, too!
