Crocs are ugly, but they are rather comfy. I got cheap ones in Asda once, so didn't break the bank. But I only use poolside on holiday. Didn't take last summer and ended up buying flipflops in the Bahamas. Most expensive flipflops I've ever bought. Cost me £15!
I doubt I could walk in high wedges. Had a pair back in 70's which hubby detested, said they looked like some kind of surgical shoe. TBH they weren't very comfy at all. Made with two strong elastic strips across the foot. But, I wore them just to get my money's worth out of them.
