My son, age 8, has worn screaming yellow Crocs for about a year now, and loves them. While we were Christmas shopping at the mall, he persuaded me to try on a pair, and it was love at first wearing! I have a major bone spur in one heel that makes it pure hell to stand, walk, or even just rest my heel on the floor. The Crocs provide enough cushioning so that I can walk almost comfortably until I can have surgery to remove the bone spur. My original style Crocs have great traction, and even with my post-chemotherapy balance problems, I've had no slips or stumbles in them.

Mine are bright purple, with a purple blood cancer awareness ribbon on them. (4 months of remission, and counting!)
