I''ve had a pair of these for nearly a year now, wearing them almost daily. At first I thought they were a bit expensive for a pair of canvas slipons. But they''re much more durable than any another canvas slip-on I''ve worn (including the Santa Cruz model, also by Crocs). I like the styling very much, too. Nice touches like the tab at the back, which helps slip them back on quickly. They don''t stretch out and get all distorted like the Santa Cruz ones either. I bought the black on black, and have had no problem with staining. I imagine if you bought khaki you''d see stains quickly what else would you expect?
For me these are a definite winner. I''ll be buying a backup pair soon.
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 ofa 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 bought the Khaki color cos it looked good but got dirty and stained just less than 3 times wearing it. Tried washing it but the color got pretty messed up in the process, never to return to its original color. I would advise you go for the black cos I now have regrets.

What can I say these are a great addition to anyone''s summer wardrobe when sandals just don''t cut it. I actually purchased these in advance of a destination wedding in the Caribbean. Call me old fashioned, but I don''t think men should ever show up at a formal event like that with sandals, no matter how casual the dress policy.
These crocs felt great since I could wear them barefoot and look stylish and the grey with green accent helps give off a lighter summer vibe. The rubber air sole is comfortable to walk around all day in, and unlike most of their other shoes, I found these to fit my narrow feet very well. I wear these regularly in both day to day situations and casual nights out on the town.
I''d recommend wearing these an few hours at a time for the first few days just to work out any hotspots or rubbing from the cloth material on your feet. If you''re looking for stylish and comfortable summer shoes, these are the ticket!
When I bought this pair at Macy''s stores I had them end enjoyed for 2 years, but those I bought from you warned up in two months.
