Comfy shoes like crocs but not crocs

Anybody recommend any shoes which are comfortable like crocs but not crocs? I absolutely love my crocs- but I think they look awful and I can't bring myself to wear them in public (so vain I know😂) especially shoes that can be worn in an office

Have a look at the different styles of Birkenstocks such as the Boston or the Arizona.
Skechers slip-ins are also very comfy.

Agree about Birkenstocks. There are also some very comfy Fitflops. My most comfortable shoes are Nike Free 5.0 trainers.

I thought you were looking for something on the posh side, if not, Skechers are the way to go! My feet loves them. I hurt my right foot ages ago and it feels like I have plantar fasciitis now. The Asics with the gel insole are good too though very sporty.
I've also read great things about Fitflops and Vionic (I haven't tried them yet!). Another possibility is getting posh orthopedic insoles and then finding shoes that look nice in a bigger size.

I think crocs also make shoes now - particularly ones for healthcare workers and things. So they might not be the prettiest but they do look like work shoes rather than crocs. I’ll have a look.

Hmm, looks like this season all the ´work’ crocs are just standard croc shape but without the holes. They do have slip on boat shors which moght work in a casual office. https://www.crocs.co.uk/p/welsh-grip/40138.html?cgid=hey-dude-women&cid=1FY#start=3

If you don't need open toes, maybe look at Mahabis? I live in mine, so comfortable - and they have summer/winter versions mahabis.com/

Have also worn them to the office and they blend in!

I bought these felt clog slippers from fit flop and they’re so comfortable and supportive around the house, I’m seriously wondering if I could wear the black leather ones for work:

i also have the fit flop Riley trainers and they’re v comfortable, look smart with trousers.

Birkenstock Boston. Get
Narrow fit.

I wear my crocs ballet flats a lot which look very different to the clogs, but it seems they aren’t making them at the moment (not sure what I’m going to do!). For hot weather I’ve a pair of Vionics sandals which are pretty comfortable much of the time (as good as it gets with my awful feet)
