 Off Road Crocs are OK July 8, 2008
Purchased and have worn these shoes/sandals extensively. Generally a good piece of footwear and comfortable for outside casual wear or in house wear. My only complaint about the product is the adjustable velcro fasteners that are intended to go behind the heel. Found that the excess velcro mmaterial was frequently catching on the cuffs of long pants or on other loose fitting material such as couch covers, blankets, etc. It would have been better had they stuck with the fixed length heel strap as the do on other models.
Nice but flawed July 5, 2008
I love my beach crocs, but the ventilation at the front of the show catches a lot of debris when I play outside with the dog. Off-Road crocs are closed across the front, but the adjustable heel strap literally rubs me the wrong way, and it tends to give me a blister no matter how I adjust it. They're good for yardwork and such, but not if I have to actually walk any great distance. Or run with the dog.
 Geekily sturdy July 4, 2008
This is at least my fifth pair of Crocs but my first off-road ones. OK, they are very geeky, but they are much sturdier than the Beach crocs. Like the covered toe and the adjustable strap. The sole seems thicker, firmer, and more durable than the regular ones. I will say, though, that the first day I wore them, I got huge blisters on the balls of both feet. And I was wearing socks! So at the moment, these are on hold while the blisters heal. But I have high hopes for them and I really don't care how geeky they look - I go for comfort!!
 Saved my ankle! July 3, 2008
I love Crocs and wear a pair of Beach Crocs most days. About a month ago, I purchased a pair of these Off-Road Crocs to try on my 24 day trip to Guatemala and Mexico. I've loved my Crocs on previous trips because they were comfortable and easily washed off. I was looking forward to the thicker sole and toe protection that this style offered. They proved to be very comfortable over miles of walking and hiking.
In Mexico, I was getting out of a car when the driver suddenly took off and ran over my heel and ankle. As I fell to the pavement, my foot turned sideways in the Croc and the thick sole provided enough cushion to allow me to escape with a scrape and a bruise. It ripped my Croc where the strap connected on one side, but I was able to continue my travels and walk many more miles over the next week (in my Beach Crocs).
If you like Crocs, these offer a thicker sole, toe protection and an adjustable strap. I found that they were exactly what I was looking for. I plan to repair mine or get another pair ASAP. If you haven't tried Crocs, you might try a cheaper pair first.
 Over-rated foam footwear!!! July 1, 2008
For me, these are not nearly as comfortable as some people make them out to be. They are easy to slip on for kicking around the house and yard - be no where can I really find what I'd call comfort in them. Let's face it, they are plastic foam footwear - your feet will get hot and sweaty if you wear them long enough and those little bumps in the footbed are irritating. If you walk on rough surfaces frequently (ie., concrete, asphalt, etc.) the soles will wear out pretty rapidly too (for a $40 shoe). Would I buy them again? Maybe, but I think I'd strongly consider alternatives too.
