Crocs ( not the clogs!)

Aurora · Marc Jacobs

I've tried them on at Dillards but that has been the extent of my experience with them. I have croc flip flops and they are ok but not super comfortable. They also ran pretty big on me. I'm a 6.5 normally and I bought a 6 which is still too big. Make sure to try these on before buying.

I have a pair of Jessica Simpson flats (style Leve) that are pretty comfortable. They have been on sale at various websites. You could check into those too. They have more padding in them than the Target flats that are popular.

I think they're cute and will serve your purpose well.

i don't normally like crocs on adults but these are okay. i'd want to know how they look on and how comfy they are. if they're super comfortable and look cute on then i think they would serve you well on your commute. i'm looking for comfy black flats as well. let me know how you like them if you get them.

pollyjean23 · Marc Jacobs

I've tried them on before too.

They're quite bulbous looking in person IMO. But, if you have strong-looking, sturdy legs and feet (I don't), they would probably work. They will probably work for your needs--just back and forth. Def try them on. Dillard's is where I tried them too.

Boots · Gucci

My SIL wears them for the same purpose (commuting to downtown Chicago). She says that they're very comfortable and perfect for commuting. No need to ruin her nice shoes on the EL!

not a fan, sorry

alb · Marc Jacobs

fyi i tried on the JS ones aurora has (thanks aurora) and they are AMAZINGLY comfortable (i walked all around the shoe dept. in them). i'm thinking about getting them. my only issue with them is that i don't love the squared off toe - but they were seriously the most comfy flats i've ever put on my feet so i might get them anyway.

I would also recommend flats by the brand Me Too. Very comfy.

Me too, haha! No seriously though, I was going to also recommend the Me Too brand if the crocs are ridiculously comfy.

Suasoria · Chanel

I can see gardening in them, but not walking around the city, sorry.

Ive tried them on and I don't like them. I agree with the "bulblous" comment. Also they're made out of that standard croc plastic, so they didn't look like normal shoes. I felt like a skipper doll or something. And they honestly weren't all that comfortable.

I love Me Too flats! I have one pair in bronze that are 3 years old. I take them on every vacation because they're classier than sneakers and sooo comfy! I've walked all over three countries in them. My pair has a rubber sole that a lot of other flats don't seem to have. They're seriously as comfy as my sneakers.

D- I had t watch that smiley face four or five times before I realized what was happening. Too funny!

ViViDogWear · Kate Spade

My SIL has those for running around after her toddler. Not horrible but not cute. I have two pairs of the Prima slippers for work and walking the dog etc. Got them for traveling while I hate sneakers. Love that they slip on and off easily. I've seen the black primas on a girl at the airport and they looked fine on her. I think going smaller is best to avoid the Gardner look.

orlando · Nine West

I wear these occasionally for work because they are comfortable and I'm on my feet for 6-7 hours. The only problem I found was that they make my feet sweat.

travelgirl · Kate Spade

I have the crocs Mallindi style and they are okay. They look like the Prima flats but have a slingback. I ranked buying Crocs right up there with buying a minivan (and I have now done both!) but they were practical and comfortable for Disneyworld which is where I wore them. They would be comfortable for walking in the city for sure.
