Is the Crocs Classic Clog worth buying?

Love them on my daughter, sorry to say they’ll love your feet for about an hour before the relationship falls apart. At the end of the day — literally, at the end of a very long Saturday — the right shoe is the one that lets you get through it without making everything worse. My one piece of dad advice: don’t wait until your feet are screaming at you to make a change. I waited two years out of some combination of frugality and inertia, and I lost two years of comfortable weekends. The New Balance 990v5 or Hoka Clifton 9 would be my top picks for most dads, but honestly, the best shoe is the one that fits your foot, your budget, and your specific flavor of weekend chaos. If you’ve found something that’s been a game-changer for your standing-all-day situation — a shoe, an insole, some kind of dark magic — drop it in the comments. We’re all in this together, one farmers market and three unnecessary park detours at a time.
