I bought these because they make perfect, lightweight camp shoes for hiking on the Appalachian Trail. The only drawback is that now, when I log onto Facebook, the advertisements are for crocs. I had some friends over at the time, and now everyone knows that I'm interested in shopping for crocs! My social life is ruined. These were meant to be worn in the isolation of the trail, never to be seen in society. My secret is out. Nobody thinks I'm cool anymore. But my feet sure are nice and comfy at camp. Guess I'll have to live in the woods forever with my crocs, because now I don't have any friends left. Thanks, amazon.
