Default Crocs Footwear

Does anyone here know if Crocs shoes are good for long term health of the feet?

They look comfortable and they seem to be popular. I wonder if there would be a particular benefit to someone with diabetes?

ther is an ad in this months diabetes self management magazine on the page after the table of contents abotu tehir new line of Silver Cloud. Designed for diabetics in lots of fun styles.........

I like them because its like wearing bedroom slippers and they cushion> So when nueropathy acts up its not as painful. theya re also waterproof and if you stand all day long evry very comnfortable.
the other benefit to wearinga hsoe like this for me an personal experience is they dont bind...... they dont squeeze and they just cushion........
What I didnt like was they stretch out and held a bacteria smell. they say they have changed formulations to prevent the smell..........

There is also another thing about the NON VENTILATED shoes....... they ahem fart.....
Yup the air that squishes out between the foot and the closed shoe across the arch makes the shoe sound awful.............. So I took an awl and gouged out some holes to let the air out........
they have some pretty new styles and colors!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Some hospitals and health clinics are phasing these type sof shoes out becaus eo fteh bacteria problem, which has made some companies reformulate the nmaterial. which Croc already addressed and changed!!!!!!!!
