Crocs Men's LiteRide 360 Pacer Sneakers

I am a Podiatrist. I always promote Crocs slippers to my patients, and I wear them myself. Lately I have promoted their shoes too. I discovered the "Lite Ride" series from my son in law, who is an anesthesiologist and does a lot of standing. He bought the "clog" type of which I am not a fan. A shoe where the heel does not take half the burden relies on the toes to do the lifting. All kinds of damage, ranging from fungus to ingrown nails can result. So I bought the Lite Ride 360 Pacer and it is supremely comfortable, as I expected. The one problem I have with the shoe is that it offers no plantar protection from impact of normal street objects, like stones, glass, or nails. Any one of the latter would penetrate the sole. The shoe needs more plantar structure. It has become more the type of shoe to leave at work after walking through the streets of New York in my Fryes. Dr. Gershon Goldman, DPM
