Hi Rebecca,I am not a fan of Crocks for everyday wear. They have to much ciohusn. I prefer that the foot is in direct contact with the earth. Which means as thin of a ciohusn as possible. You have the same amount of sensory nerves on the bottom of your feet as on the palms of your hands and the inside of your mouth. They are there so that you can feel your immediate environment. If you walk with a poor gait pattern, you will get immediate feedback through your nervous system and your foot will hurt. If you are barefoot, you have an opportunity to immediately adjust the way you walk so that it doesn't hurt. This mechanism helps you maintain a healthy gait. If you have ciohusns on your feet, you won't feel it at your feet. If you wear ciohusned shoes all the time, you won't feel the pain at your foot. Allowing you to continue the poor gait pattern and the pain that should manifest at your foot will instead show up in your knees, hips, back, shoulders or neck. But at this point you are disconnected from where the problem is coming from. Jesse James Retherford
