CrocsWomen's Swiftwater Sandal, Lightweight and Sporty Sandals for Women

These tough, elegant, lightweight silicone sandals allow me to enjoy the feeling of walking barefoot again like when I was a child!Their smooth silicone upper straps fit over my high arches PERFECTLY! No binding at all from upper straps that are usually either too tight or too stiff in other sandals.I wore my first pair of these sandals every Spring and Summer for 3 years in TOTAL comfort,16 hours a day, with both jeans and dresses - until one strap on one of them finally snapped in two.I was devastated! Until I recognized the exact same sandal on Amazon and found it in a Size 6. Couldn't get them in my favorite black & white color, but the navy & white looks almost identical. So, Life is GOOD again!I still have very high arches at Age 73, and these fit my feet perfectly. If one has flatter arches, they may not feel or fit as well. The straps on this new pair (across the arch) are noticeably tighter than on my older pair, however, so Crocs must have adjusted the fit for normal feet.My first pair look as good as new -- after I cleaned their white soles with bleach water and a nail brush -- after 3 years of pretty rough wear and tear. I love how they clean up so quickly after wearing them so I can go from working in the yard to going out to dinner without changing into less comfortable shoes.I usually walk around on gravel, mulch, or rocky soil all around our treed yard during the day and on HW floors inside at night. These became my favorite yard shoes because they allow me to feel the contours if the earth under my feet and to keep my balance more easily due to their very flexible soles.I actually also like wearing my cushy Hoka Recovery Sandals - mainly indoors, though. Outdoors, there's nothing like being able to sense the contours of the earth under your feet.I tried a barefoot shoe once, but they fit so tight, like a water shoe, that it was too much trouble to be worth giving them a chance. These, unlike those, slip on and off so easily, I keep them beside my bed to slip into if I get up during the night.So, they work well for me as dressy sandals, "airy" work shoes, AND bed slippers. You can see how easy it is for me to keep wearing them and loving them, 16 hours a day! I highly recommend them for active people who love the outdoors.BTW, I suffered with plantar fasciitis for more than a year before I discovered these Crocs. I recovered pain-free use of my feet only after I found some HOKA Recovery Sandals in a running shop and wore THEM 16 hours a day - for about 2 yearsAfter that, my feet could handle wearing my regular, stiffer-soled shoes again, but for only an hour or so. I was very uncertain about trying anything as thin-soled as these Crocs, but then, I found a pair at Super Shoes and tried them on. They were so cheap on sale and so comfortable on my feet, I HAD to buy them. So glad I did!To my surprise, after wearing them more and more each day and getting used to the little bumps on their inner soles, they gently worked and strengthened my feet! What they lacked in HOKA's thick cushiness was made up for in extreme flexibility. I also found walking on uneven terrain with them part of the time helped even more. In less than 6 months, I completely stopped worrying about my feet and began to enjoy walking again.My podiatrist suggested walking on uneven outdoor ground to strengthen my feet, but said to take it easy. If ever my feet felt uncomfortable or hurt me, I went right back to my HOKA's! If you ever have a foot problem, be sure to get advice from a good podiatrist. Good advice about footwear cured my fasciitis, not these sandals. But these sandals did make walking fun again!

I bought my first pair of these after getting terrible blisters at the beach with another pair of sandals. I love how they fit, the small on the insoles for grip when wet, and how easy they are to clean. When I developed plantar fasciitis, I started wearing them in the house as a lightweight, cool slipper that gave me a little arch support and cushion. My flare ended and I went back to regular slippers. Then I got pregnant. Almost immediately my plantar fasciitis flared and I’ve had it ever since (now 4 weeks from my due date). My feet often hurt so much when I get up, my arches ache, and my feet swell. These have enough support with a little cushion that I don’t even go to the bathroom in the middle of the night without sliding them on. They helped me stay cool all summer. And when my feet swell at the end of the day, I can still wear them without pain. Highly recommended!!

Light and comfy, yet supportive.

Love the style & very comfy, but it fits loose

Amazing. So comfortable.

I wear size 8 - 8.5 in my shoes. I ordered 8 in these and they fit perfect and very very comfortable. Although, went for a 1 mile walk in them and got a blister on side of the one toe. I should have worn sox and tennis shoes for the walk. I would definitely order again for the resort we vacationed. But not for a longer continuous walk.

I have these shoes in black with white that was bought at a store in the US. You can tell a HUGE difference in the thickness of the sole. When you walk in the black ones there is no support like there is in the black and white ones. It’s like walking on the ground barefoot. I love the light weight of Crocs and wanted to love these but I don’t. I gave them 3 stars because they are still really cute but that’s the only reason. I need to go back to a Crocs store and compare. They didn’t have the solid black when I was there. Would I buy theses again? Only to use to go somewhere I’m not going to be walking or standing for a while

I love the complete comfort of this sandal, and I love that they also look so nice. I choose comfortable shoes now - haven't worn heels for years, and most nice sandals are also uncomfortable for me; so a nice-looking comfortable sandal has ben hard to find. I have a high arch, a narrow heel and a wide front foot; straps never fit me right; these are perfect. The front straps allow ample room for a wide toe pad and high arch, and yet they do not have that 'boxy' look that so many other comfortable Croc styles have. They do have the same comfortable material that other Crocs have.Sizing was large. I wear a women's 8, but I had to return the 8, reordering the 7, which is still a little 'roomy' in the top strap, but fine. Some of this might just be that this is finally a size 7 shoe that accommodates the width and arch of my foot. I suspect that most people will need to size down.I ordered the shoe in black, and the finish of the shoe is nice; not shiny, but slightly matte, instead of shiny. They look great with jeans, and with a black dress for dinner. The design of the straps would also make it easy to add a fancy shoe clip on if you wanted a different look - but the black alone is a simple, graceful design and finish, and I'm very happy with it!
