text: WOW am I bummed! I purchased a pair of these shoes a good decade ago and have worn them to death. I loved that they were kind of just a more narrow version of the traditional clogs, which I also own and like but come on. They're so ugly.<br /><br />Unfortunately I decided to wear them during our DIY home renovation (which was fabulously comfortable, by the way) and now they are covered in paint and plaster and what have you. Of course, in the back of my head, I thought &#34;Hey this are totally replaceable. Just ruin them.&#34; Went and ordered a new pair on Amazon to discover they TOTALLY changed the design! UGH. The new ones now have a fixed back strap and are waaaaaaayyyy tighter that the original. Ordered the exact same size and they are too narrow, short and super tight. I hate them.<br /><br />So upset. Returning.<br /><br />I should mentioned I do loves me some crocs, though. These things are indestructible. Outside of the paint and plaster stains, the structure of mine look practically new!
