I bought my 1st pair ever in the Crocks store. 5 or 8 in most shoes. They are not the type of shoes anyone in their 20s or 30s might want to wear, but they are nice for middle to older women. The first time I wore them, it was to the city for a cocktail party and walking to/from public transportation. ) that I just could not wear them for more then 20 minutes without my ears to hurt! Once I wore them with long leggings that tucked into the boot, this became less of an issue. These are my wedding shoes! It is no problem getting into reasonable workout heart rate zones. The description/title said "huge bass" but I would say very much the opposite to more of "higher fidelity". This might be circumstantial to my medical issues but it took me days to recover.
