Crocs Huarache Flat Women

Top Pro

Very cute style

Crocs don't have the best reputation for being stylish. However the company has been coming out with a lot of very cute styles, including this one (the Huarache). See More

Top Con

Very slippery on wet surfaces

One of the biggest complaints about crocs is how slippery they become on wet surfaces (especially stone and indoor flooring). See More

Top Pro

Extremely comfortable

They provide good arch support and have some cushioning, making them great for long days of walking. See More

Top Con

Slip on style

Because there is no way to adjust the straps, these shoes are better suited for a dry walk on paved/groomed surfaces. They don't provide enough support for walking on trails. See More

Top Pro

Easy to pack

Crocs are very lightweight and also quite thin, so they add very little bulk/weight when packed. See More

Top Con

Wider fit

These shoes are better suited for average-wide feet. Those with narrow feet may find they slip around in the shoe, or walk out of them (there is no way to adjust the straps). See More

Top Pro

Great for dodgy shower situations

These crocs are completely waterproof, so there is no need to bring along a pair of flip flops for the not-so-clean hostel showers. Just be careful not to slip (see the con about being slippery on wet surfaces). See More

Top Con

Can stretch out

The straps can stretch out slightly, causing your foot to slide around more. See More

Top Pro

Variety of colors

There are 11 different colors to pick from. There are more subtle ones like pure black and two tone brown, and lots of really fun and bright combinations. See More

Top Pro

Variety of styles available

If you don't like the Huarache, Crocs have a variety of styles that share many of the same attributes (lightweight, fairly thin etc.). See More

Top Pro

Slip on style

The slip on style is great for quickly kicking off your shoes and easily putting them back on, without having to bend over (which can be a challenge while wearing a heavy pack). See More

Teva Women's Verra Sandal

Top Pro

Available in a variety of colors

There is a wide variety of color combinations available (21). See More

Top Con

Dirt collects in the grooves of the insole

There are thin grooves on the insole that very quickly collect dirt. They are easy to clean out, but it doesn't look pleasant. Purchasing a color that has a darker insole will help hide the dirt. See More

Top Pro

Really comfortable for all day walking

They have good arch support with a very well padded heel. The straps are covered with a soft fabric where it touches your foot, helping to prevent rubs/blisters. See More

Top Con

They are quite long

The sandal runs fairly long, so you'll want to consider going down a half size or size in order to get the proper length. However if you have wider feet, this may mean the straps won't fit properly. See More

Can dress up or down
