I get a pair of crocs for each summer visit to Hungary--the treads last about a month of hard walking on cobblestones.Then they are 'retired' for home use. I find they stay on my feet, are extremely comfortable, provide excellent support for my high arched feet. I only need to take this one pair of shoes--note: shoes are removed when you enter someone's house so neatly groomed toes are more important here. Also, if it gets cold or rainy, it's quite possible to wear a pair of fleece or wool socks with the crocs so feet stay warm (even tho' wet). Only quibble: the croc color that I have found most usable/attractive is their 'Gold'. They haven't offered it in a few years. When they do, I'll buy a bunch!
