As you can see, I've been schlepping around messy parking lots. This photo was taken on a sloshy Chicago spring day when I needed a trusty pair of comfortable shoes that could take on the weather and consequential puddles yet not be worse for wear.
I've owned my Crocs Celeste for two years and still get compliments on them when standing in the check-out line. Not only are they cute, they're so good to my feet. In fact, this was one of the three pairs of shoes I wore exclusively after my orthopedic surgeon told me I needed bunion surgery. I resolved to wear shoes that had ample room for my toes for the past two years and so far have avoided the need for surgery.
I really like the canvas upper as it breathes better than Crocs made of croslite™ only. However, the footbed is made of croslite™ which gives it its cushion and support. After trying various new brands lately, my feet enjoy coming back to the Crocs Celeste; an affordable, practical, foot-friendly flat that comes not only in black, but chocolate brown, pink, white, cream and navy.
