Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Lets see, I've been wearing crocs since 2005, and also buying them to family members. For myself I buy at least a pair every year because of normal wear and tear, and that's normal. What is not normal is that every year that passes the shoes come with more flaws and lesser quality build than previous year, they break at the solid rubber, break at the glued bands and they start looking like crap after a month of use, they don't have the quality they used to have anymore. The last example is this shoes i am reviewing, which are exactly the same two models that i decided to retire this christmas. After the firs week of use, two letters of the "CROCS" sign in the back of the shoe fell off! That has never happened before because the croc sign was fused in one piece ad not as a small single letter glued individually (see picture of flaw). Also, the shoes run smaller this year, I know it because I have the same exact model and size from previous year, maybe the molds used in all the overseas factories are a little different and this time i got the "smaller ones". I should give them no star, but at least the got to me on time and in one piece and that's the only reason I am giving one. It's time to start looking for a practical shoe like these somewhere else.
