He has been wearing his tattered slipper/shoes out to dinner. I couldnt believe that crocs make such cute shoes. It was very easy to install and is very sturdy. If you have wide feet, the regulars won?t work. If youve got normal feet order a size larger and give them a try if you so desire. The loop is made of weak plastic. You just gotta break em in. Plus they are classic I can get many wears out if these pumps! Finally, and very importantly, the battery life on these is UNPRECEDENTED. My problem is all the plastic cups and shaker bottles that weve accumulated.
