I bought a pair of Crocs in the same style but left them in the Florida sun and they've shrunk in so many sizes I can't even can wear she could slide. I am happy to report that the plastic they are made of does not shrink in the sun. I bought black shoes with red bottoms and they look nice, just a little touch that adds a touch of style but not too much. The soles are thick and you don't have to worry about hitting rocks or other sharp objects when you walk on uneven ground.
