My personal recommendation: Good-looking, comfortable, pretty, dress flats. Surprise! They're Crocs!

I have to rave about this shoe.

First of all, let's face it.  On a scale of one to ten, Crocs generally get a 10 for comfort and a minus 3 for beauty.  Most Crocs are just not a good-looking shoe, but they are very comfortable and practical.  But not so with the Gianna style.

Basically. last year, I was looking for a pair of dress flats that would be decent looking and very comfortable,  in which to walk to shul.  I wasn't planning on wearing them in shul, just long enough to get there.  I hate the look of sneakers on Shabbos and I was tired of walking around in flats that were pretty but chewed up my poor feet by the time I arrived anywhere. 

I bought the black-on-black Gianna Crocs last year.  First of all, these do not look like Crocs, and they do not look like rubber shoes.  The chunky plastic buckle across the top is very attention-getting, and basically, they look like regular flats from a decent distance.  And more than that, they are pretty. They aren't completely flat; there is a small lift to the heel and they are shaped in a way that flatters your foot and ankle.  I was surprised at how nice and un-Crocsmanlike they appeared.

But, they are extremely Crocsmanlike in terms of comfort.  I've walked in them for miles at this point, and they are about as comfortable as a pair of slippers, but with much more support.  I thought it would be weird to wear rubber shoes on Shabbos, but they turned out to be a lifesaver when I got caught in the rain (just set them aside to dry afterward, water does not ruin them at all), and they weren't overly hot or uncomfortable in the slightest. 

And when I wore them to shul or to a friend's house, I found myself just keeping them on instead of changing, more often than not.  They were pretty!  Almost no one guessed they were Crocs (unless they were very familiar with the style).  They were the perfect dress flats!  I wouldn't wear them to a wedding, but I'd be perfectly comfortable wearing them to a business meeting.  

Finally, in terms of traveling, they are so practical. They are very lightweight, go right in the suitcase without adding a lot of bulk, can get banged up and dirty and you can just rinse them right off.  I love these shoes.  I've worn these ones so much, I'm now ready for my second pair. 

Right now, 6PM has got Gianna Crocs in the black-on-black style for only $24.50 with free shipping, in sizes 4-10.  This is $5.00 to $10.00 less than they are costing almost everywhere else right now.  (FYI, Amazon has them for $30.92; Crocs has them for $34.99 in limited sizes.)  They fit as expected and don't stretch too much; I wear a size 7.5, so the size 8 were perfect for me.
