Crocs promotes these as “work” shoes because they’re designed to meet typical job dress codes; the toe area is completely hidden; but that marketing decision is limiting. Not only are they appropriate for medical Specialists and the like, they’re appropriate for anyone who wants to wear comfortable shoes that hide their toes. “Comfortable” is the key word. I wear mine not only when I’m out but also at home. In theory, fashion aside, I could go the rest of my life not wearing any other type of shoes and get by just fine. The back strap even makes them practical to run in.
The bottom soles eventually begin to deteriorate as the grips smoothen away, which can cause you to slip on wet surfaces; much more so than normal shoes; and too much sockless traveling can cause painful skin irritation where the cuboid bone rubs against the inside rim. But those are relatively minor flaws. I usually wear mine with socks… on dry surfaces. I prefer laceless slip-ons and these shoes are among the best. They’re made with a simple two-piece design; a shoe and a strap; which makes them easy to wipe clean. The rubbery Croslite material is also odor-resistant.
