"My beloved Crocs originals were wearing out. Plus I'm pregnant and occasionally have swollen feet. I purchased the Size 8, (I'm like a 7 3/4 pre-pregnancy) and at first I thought they were really big. After breaking them in I have no problem with them staying on my feet. They are roomy, easy to slip-on and can be hosed off, which is exactly what I wanted. They are very cute boat shoes. They are probably the only cute shoes that will accommodate my swollen feet so I know they are going to get a lot of mileage! (just like all Crocs, boat shoes etc. if you wear them without socks, your feet will stink. be warned)"
