I've worn Crocs for years. They are the only shoes that helped my plantar fasciitis and also fit my really wide feet. I saw the LiteRide Clog and wanted to give them a try. Out of the box I noticed they really are extremely lightweight. I love the nubs in the footbed. Some of the other Crocs have the little bumps that feel almost sharp and painful to me due to neuropathy. These bumps are smaller and more rounded, so they feel much better than others. The foot bed material is a nice cushy yet comfortable foam. It is the foam used in the expensive pool floaties. It doesn't have as much "give" to the foot as the other Crocs. Going from regular Crocs to these LiteRide Crocs, I had to interchange them for a week, giving my feet time to adjust. I really don't notice a difference in weight of the shoes when I walk though. A disadvantage of these shoes is they are very hot and the toe box is very narrow. Even though there are a lot of small holes, there is not as much ventilation as with regular Crocs so naturally there is a lot of heat build up. The worst thing about this shoe keeping me from giving it 5 stars is the build of it. The toe box is way too narrow. They are described as being Relaxed Fit, but I feel like they are more on the small side compared to other Crocs. I was hoping they would stretch a little, but even after wearing them 3 weeks now, there is no "give" to them, and I have to take them off every hour to let my foot relax or I'm left with pain across my forefoot. So if you have a really wide foot, I wouldn't recommend the LiteRides. Other than that , they are a good little shoe. I think they are kind of cute, even though I didn't think I would like the white bottom, it's unique and I like the touch of pink. I like the way the back of the heel is a little higher, it keeps the shoe more secure on my foot even without using the strap so that the shoe doesn't flop. If Crocs will make the toebox wider and cut some of their famous vent holes it would be perfect
