This has to be the best Croc ever!!! The extra cushioning is wonderful. And the dare I say 'funky' wider sole gives you great stability. I tired BAE in the past and was concerned I would fall off them and twist an ankle, so I returned them. I've had these for a couple months now and no such concer...ns. They're not as tall a heel as BAE, but they are very stable and easy to walk in. I've suffered with plantar fasciitis in the past, and now have two titanium knees and have lived in Crocs for easy 10 plus years. I thought the new Platform model was great, but this tops that model hands down. I'm a larger lady, and size 11, and I just cannot say enough good things about these clogs! Please never stop making these!!!!!! Now if you would only make them in a royal blue, things would be awesome!! I have at least 30 pair of Crocs and these are my absolute favorites! So much I am thinking I need to garage sale my collections of classic clogs, as I never wear them anymore. Try them you will love them.
