I have been on the lookout for comfortable, yet stylish, traveling shoes for a couple of years now. I have tried an endless number of variations on the traditional ballet flat, but those tend to either have no arch support (but be comfortable otherwise) or have comfortable soles but leather that rubs against the heel or toe, creating blisters. I have tried every moleskin, blister pad and arch insert on the market and nothing has helped. With my honeymoon coming up, I was getting desperate.

Everything changed with a walk through the Macy's shoe department a couple of weeks ago... I noticed the wall-o-crocs and almost passed it by - before a vacation 1 1/2 years ago, I tried my first pair of 'stylish' crocs, a modified Mary Jane style, and the plastic strap attachment rubbed a huge patch of skin off of my foot the very first time I wore them. I figured I would look at the new styles anyway and was amazed to see the Olivia sling back, which clearly had no plastic attachments inside to rub the foot. I immediately logged onto amazon mobile from my iphone, discovered they were cheaper than in the store and ordered two pair, one in black and one in gold.

I exchanged the gold ones for a pair of brown Malindi crocs (I recommend checking those out too - they are even cuter!), since the lighter color looked a little bulky on my foot, but I have worn the black pretty much every day since. All of my friends are amazed when they get close enough to see that these are crocs - as long as you keep them clean, they can easily pass for a nice pair of black flats. I am in love!

Excellent quality. Shoes were a little too small, so i put them in the dryer for a few seconds and they "molded" and expanded to perfectly fit my foot. I wear them all the time!

As expected from the other reviews, these Crocs are sized smaller than my previous Crocs. I thought it would be fine because I'm a size 7 and that's what I purchased, rather than the usual of people having issues when they attempt to go down by half a size. My pair of Malindi Crocs fit more comfortably. Looking at them side by side, it is clear that although they have similar profiles, the Olivia is narrower and shorter. As with another reviewer, I found that the opening caused issues for my little toe. Not sure why this is when the openings on my Malindi and Mary Jane Crocs were never an issue. I will try the heat and stretch to see if I can get the fit to improve.

I like my crocs I use for nursing...but I wear with socks. These crocs are adoreable but when your feet sweat (and ladies they do!) your foot slides around and overall they are not comfortable.

I love these crocs! The style is cute, but still appropriate for a fabulous middle-aged mom, such as myself. They are all-day comfortable with a cushy sole and a bit of an arch support. I have 3 pair: black, brown and, my fave, ultraviolet. Size-wise, I'm a half-size, so I first ordered up a size, which turned out to be too big. I exchanged for a size down. Perfect!

These shoes are very comfortable, but they make my feet a bit sweaty. I realize this shouldn't be any shock - they are rubber shoes, afterall. They fit a bit small - I normally wear an 8 1/2, but the 9 is about perfect for me.

These shoes are extremely comfortable, lightweight and fun to look at. I wore them on a trip to Australia. As they go nicely from beach to more dressy outfits, I was able to wear these to the airport and pack my running shoes, only. I love that they come in a variety of colors but bought a neutral color, new gold, a wonderful choice for wearing with summer clothing. It's fun that they are so comfortable without looking weird--like standard Crocs.

I would rate them 5 stars if they came in half sizes. I had to return the 7 which was slightly too small and order the 8 which was slightly too big.

I do like the way these shoes look but the sole feels too narrow when I walk in them and they also make a squishing and popping sound when I walk in them without wearing hose. The foot sweats and the moisture causes the sounds. Kind of embarassing.....

Pros: Light weight, warm in winter
Cons: Sweaty the rest of the year, not very supportive.

I like how lightweight these are, almost like an indoor/outdoor slipper. But they are really way too sweaty to wear except for in colder weather. And for colder weather, I really love my fur lined crocs. These just need a little more support and more ventilation and I could love them.

This shoe did not fit well.... too large. And seemed too light. Not enough arch support. Not enough cushion on bottom. If strap were adjustable it might have fit better.
