text: I started wearing Crocs when I began college in Boulder, CO, which is the birthplace of Crocs.  I'll continue to wear Crocs out of loyalty, but I'm not  ecstatic about these &#34;classic&#34; Crocs.  I put classic in quotation marks, because Crocs loyalists know that they were once made in the USA, and the shoes that were made in the USA were sized in ranges and were made of superior material that was a tad bit softer.  Please know that I'm traditionally not a hooah-hooah &#34;Made in the USA&#34; minion, but there are distinct differences between the USA- and Mexican-made Crocs.  Crocs made in Mexico are made of a similar (but different) material that has a slippery finish, and they are sized in whole-sizes only.  I resisted buying Mexican Crocs because of these material and fit factors, and so I wore down my USA Crocs to the end.<br /><br />I wear a 10.5 running show, and in the USA size Crocs I wore men's XL (10-11), which were perfect!  For the Mexican Crocs I ordered M11, but they were too large: too much play in the toes and too much length between the heel of the shoe and the heel of the foot.  I returned them for Mexican M10, which is what I settled on.  They're good with room in the toe, but I would have liked an extra half-inch on the heel.  This is why the USA sizing scheme was better FOR ME.  I acknowledge all feet are different.<br /><br />Some will say that the changes in workmanship came after the supposed slit of the company's founders due to a nasty divorce.  Search for that on the internet and decide for yourself.<br /><br />Props to Amazon for the consistent Prime service, and this was the first purchased I used the Amazon Locker feature, and that went well.  I appreciated this because I did Airbnb, and I didn't feel comfortable having a package delivered there.
