Shoes that feel like crocs but aren't ugly?

Can anyone recommend cool comfy shoes that aren't as clunky as crocs? I love the feel of crocs as they feel warm or cool as required and are comfy to wear and easy to just slip on but they look awful! I'm slightly foot phobic so hate flip flops and barely tolerate sandals, but proper shoes without socks in the summer make for sweaty feet! Any ideas?

Birkenstocks? Dead comfy after they have been worn in.

But I'm not sure what im hoping for. Maybe there's some kind of shoe made out of croc material but in a better design?

Birkenstock gizeh stay on they are the toe post ones.

crocs have some quite nice sandals. I have a pair of the sexi flips (horrible name) and you wouldn't know they were crocs.

fitflops have lots of nice styles as well.

Crocs do a plain ballerina flat that is ok and very comfortable. I think it's calls Prima

Thanks help for the link. I quite like a back to my shoes too. I hate my toes, which is why crocs are good. Toes ugly, crocs ugly- I'm caught between. Rock etc!

Keens - they're the most comfortable summer shoes I've ever worn.

I'm a fellow croc lover and have just discovered menorquinas. They are as comfy as crocs but soooo much more stylish and go with everything.

I have these www.crocs.co.uk/crocs-womens-huarache-flat/14121,en_GB,pd.html?cid=5H7&cgid=women-footwear-flats#start=15 in different colours and live in them over the summer. Get loads of compliments and people are always surprised when I say they are Crocs!
