crocs Unisex Bistro Clog

Totally comfortable to wear,loving it♥️

Wore these for long shifts and they’re super comfortable. The slip resistance is solid and my feet don’t hurt at the end of the day. Easy to clean and fit true to size. Great work shoes.

These crocs were pretty hard and unforgiving on the feet. Sweaty, and just overall not great. I’d recommend the fleece lines instead for comfort, or the ones with holes for better air ventilation. This is probably the worse choice of the styles because you don’t get comfort, or air flow.

My husband originally bought this pair for his culinary classes at SAIT and loved them so much that he ended up buying a second pair for work. He says they’re extremely comfortable and very grippy. Highly recommend!

I ordered this OCT 21st; came today OCT 22nd. I plan on using this at work. I am a nurse so I’m on my feet most of my shift making 10K+ steps in an 8-hour work. This type is called BISTRO WORK clog. I attached comparison pics of my other Crocs that bought directly (in-person) from a store in America for reference. I ordered the SAME size. White one is “Made in India”. The blue one is “Made in Vietnam”. It’s tight on the arch posterior of my feet but I’m hoping it will loosens once I break into it. The heel is also higher making it feel like a shoes than a regular Crocs so your feet is more secured which I believe is good since it’s for work. I don’t want my Crocs ends up flying while in the middle of fast-walking at work. I can use thick socks into my white one but with the blue one I believe I can use thin socks only. I suggests go ONE SIZE UP if you plan on using socks with this. I don’t have plans on exchanging this as it’s a hassle of my time and effort so I’m really holding onto the promise of “wear and loosening” it up. I have a resolved Plantar Fasciitis so I will get back into this review if my symptoms resurfaced (Praying it won’t since I cannot put a cushion inserts sole in it for now).

I use these Crocs as my indoor shoes as a systems integrator and alarm technician. When working in finished houses I always have to have a pair of clean indoor shoes and I’m constantly slipping my indoor and outdoor shoes on and off as I need to go to my truck for parts.

I love the Crocs. The clog style shoe is comfortable, roomy and easily slips on and off which makes changing shoes a breeze. I used to wear regular Crocs however there are a number of significant difference between regular Crocs and the Bistro Clog which makes the Bistro Clog much better for working environments.

Heel Support: The first difference you’ll notice between regular Crocs and the Bistro Clog is the raised heel. The standard Croc has a very low almost flat heal like a sandal while the Bistro Clog has a much higher heal which cups your ankle and provides much more support and protection.
Due to the raised heal on the Bistro Clog I rarely use the heal strap.

No Vent Holes: Most Standard Crocs has several open ventilation holes cut out in the front of the shoe. The Ventilation Holes are closed and sealed up on the Bistro Clog providing better protection for your feet and preventing dirt and debris from getting inside the shoe. The closed ventilation holes make this shoe more sanitary, more water resistant and potentially warmer than your typical standard Croc. While there are many benefits to having a closed toe shoe some Croc wears may find their feet sweat more in the Bistro Clog compared to the traditional clog due to the lack of ventilation.

Firmer Footbed: The footbed and entire Bistro Clog is firmer and moderately stiffer than your standard Croc shoe. The Bistro Clog fits and feels more like a regular shoe than a sandal. For my job I’m often climbing up and down ladders and my feet don’t get as tired wearing the Bistro Clog due to the firmer sole.

Non Slip Grip: While this isn’t a job site requirement, the sole on the Non-Slip Sole on the Bistro Clog really does provide better traction and grip on slippery surfaces compared to the traditional Croc sole.

Important Observations: Unlike traditional Crocs which are One Piece Injection Moulded Sandals the Non-Slip Soles on the Bistro Clog are Glued On and not part of the injection moulding of the shoe. Personally I have not had any problems with the sole separating from the foot bed of my Bistro Crocs but I have heard this happening to some wearers.

Sanitary: Bistro Crocs are antibacterial and can be cleaned by washing them in the sink or my wife puts her’s in the dishwasher.

Comfy: Somedays I’m on my feet for more than 10 hours and find these Crocs to both lightweight and comfortable even when wearing them for extended periods of time.

Affordable: I generally get about 2 years wear (sometimes more) out of a pair of Crocs making them a great value for the price.

Update 01/22/17:
Since my initial review I discovered Crocs makes the same model of shoe without the Non Slip Grip in a model called the Specialist Clog. the Specialist Clog is exactly the same as the Bistro Clog except it has a one pieced moulding footbed with a traditional Croc styled ribbed sole rather than the two-piece glued on sole. For my application I didn’t need the Non Slip Sole and found the Non Slip Sole would pick up and hold debris in the sole of the sole potentially scratching the floor. The ribbed sole of the Specialist Clog doesn’t pick up debris and for my purpose a better work shoe solution. If you don’t need the Non Slip Grip, in my opinion the one piece footbed/sole also will stand up better and last longer than the glued on Non Slip Grip. Amazon also sells the Specialist Clog, here is the link … crocs Unisex Specialist Clog, Black, 8 M US Men’s/10 M US Women’s
