Punki, Crocks have been banned where I work due to slip and fall hazards. I hate to admit it, but I was one of the folks who did so. I thought I had kept it a secret.
Be careful!
I still wear mine around home, but I don't think I'll buy another pair. I've worn various styles of Okabashi shoes (similar to Crocks) for years but have to admit that I've had problems with those as well.
