text: I have had at least 6 pairs of size 8 espresso/petal pink Crocs, Capri-style flip-flops over the years. I purchased a new pair last March from Amazon in the exact same size, color, etc. as I have before. These are the ONLY flip-flops that will stay on my weird feet. I have always loved this style and expected the new pair to last as long as my others had - in fact, I was still wearing my other pairs, getting them wet, muddy, washing them in the washer, etc. They were worn DAILY and HARD. I wore them in creeks, hiking, long walks, sand, mud, you name it. I even wore them around the house in the winter with socks....just jammed that strap right between my toes, socks and all. The bottoms were worn flat and it was easy to bust my butt if I went from a wet environment to a concrete floor. None of the old pairs had broken, but they were looking a little ratty and getting a little dangerous, so I purchased the new pair. BIG MISTAKE. My new pair quickly broke where the toe divider goes into the foot bed of the flip-flop. VERY disappointed. I had BARELY worn them and certainly not as hard as I had worn the others. Quality must have changed.....my old pairs are just now slowly coming apart in between the toes and they don't bite the dust all at once, they die a slow death and I wear them til the end. Mind you, I was VERY HARD (I can't stress that enough) on my old pairs of Capri-style. I was not hard on my new pair. The new pair was crap and a waste of money. CROCS....are you listening? What happened to the old quality???? I want another pair of these, but I don't want to risk the money on getting another low-quality pair.
