They're popular with nurses because of their light weight and shock
absorbing properties, but they have drawbacks too. One being they
sometimes make you trip a bit when they "stick" on the floor, and one
particular style with the dozens of holes in the top are frowned on
because of risk factors with dropped sharps or body fluid splashes. The
colors are great fun though. I'm surprised by how much actual support
they provide. I used to get plantar fascitis before and went through a
lot of different shoes trying to find comfort. I alternate my various
Crocs with Dansko shoes now.
