My foot Doctor told me to get Crocs RX, they make a prescription line at Crocs, anyone can buy them.(they are better and more supportive than the regular Crocs)at the Crocs store or online. I think there is only one style and a few colors.

Should be outlawed. Those of you who love them just haven’t fallen yet. Extremely dangerous. The perfect use of them would seem to be while doing work in wet conditions, but the irony is that this is the time when you will go down. Wet surfaces of slick tile, slick surface concrete, or even deck wood are the worst. Also, if your crocs are wet and you step onto these surfaces dry, look out.
What makes them so dangerous is that the traction is usually excellent and then suddenly you are on ice.

Just returned from the store where I fell on a wet spot on floor. I was wearing mary jane crocs which I love due to comfort. This is the second time on wet flooring and I will not wear them again to the store or on a wet street. Very dangerous.

I had many pairs of crocs. Not now!
I fell over in the rain last August bank holiday.
I broke my tibia and fibula. I had to have an operation and have two metal plates and many screws.
I have had a REALLY painful time with this injury all winter,and limited mobility,
Only now, eight months later,am I beginning to see some hope of it getting back to normal again.
I had fallen once before and knew they were slippy in the wet. I had tried always to be really careful,
I really had loved my crocs but I won’t be wearing them again.

I own 3 pair of crocs and used to love them. Last Monday I wore a black pair to school (I am a teacher) and slipped and fell in them and broke both tibia and fibula and now have 8 screws and a steel plate holding my ankle together. I am still in alot of pain. I wore them that day because it was a sort of rainy day and wet so I thought that it would be perfect to wear them. I was even walking very carefully when I slipped. I had to go in the ambulance an hour away to the hospital. I still cannot believe this happened and am very very upset and sad.

I was walking in crocs and the shoe slipped on my foot and tripped me up. I landed on my outstretched hand and tore my labrum and rotator cuff. I had to have shoulder reconstruction because of crocs. I liked them until that happened. Now, not such a big fan.

Ditto as to slippery. Walking the dog on wet concrete. My foot slipped and knee collapased. I didnt recover for six months from the sprained knee. I have fallen three more times.

I love crocs. I have about 20 pairs and it is all I have worn for years. I have bought another 15 pairs or so, as gifts. I no longer wear them. 2 years ago I slipped on a spot of melted ice at the grocery store. Fractured wrist, and 2 months of no work, I didn’t get the hint. This summer at the grocery store, I turned to get groceries out of the cart to the belt, and broke a chip of bone off my ankle. Still no clue. 3 weeks later walking around in a grassy area, a bit lumpy ground, I broke 3 bones in the middle of my other foot. Recovering from that, limping on the boot they make you wear, 4 weeks later, the strain put pressure on the other foot, and oops, 2 broken bones in the bad ankle foot. Now I sit in a chair in my living room. My feet are up, resting in the seat of my wheelchair. I am 4 weeks out from surgery to do repairs, remove bone chips, and fix other related damage in my foot and ankle. I have been out of work for almost 6 months, and have another 2 or so til I feel I can be back on my feet. Now, I am 54 years old and have been overweight my entire life. If I was 6 years old this would never have happened to me. I feel there is a point in our lives where it is critical to have great foot support. If I had spent the past few years in firm support athletic shoes, I would not be in this spot. My very fabulous foot foot surgeon says that Crocs are terrible and do not offer the support needed for good foot health. I will never be able to wear them again. I am concerned, too, for the others, like me that make them the main stay of their shoe collection. Be very careful and consult your Physician to see if they may become problematic to your feet. If you have pain, stop wearing them. Very sad and tired of sitting in Va :-(
