A sleeker Sexi
I purchased these shoes on Amazon since crocs doesn't seem to be offering this same shoe in the bronze color on their site (maybe they sold out?), and also because Amazon was offering free returns, which crocs doesn't (boo, hiss!).
I own and love several other styles of crocs (although NOT their classic/original, sorry not sorry) and consider them to be comfortable, all-day shoes. Sizing is always a little iffy, especially for half-sizers like me. I'm typically a 6.5, but have purchased crocs in both 6's and 7's, so proper fit is a hit/miss and varies by style. I purchased these in a 6, and the length fits me perfectly, so I'd recommend sizing down if you're between sizes. Be aware that even though crocs designates these as "Relaxed" fit, the sole is more narrow than their crocs Sexi Flip style, which is described as a "Standard" fit on their website. My feet are slightly wider than average, although not wide enough to require a wide width in regular shoes, and the width of my feet are just BARELY accommodated by the Isabella...but fit fine in the Sexi.
I consider these to be more comfortable than the Sexi, of which I own a couple pairs...the Isabella soles seem to have a cushier consistency that offer a little bounce, vs. the more solid feel of the Sexi...I think this may be partially due to the little nubs on the outsole, that also provide good traction/grip. For those who struggled to get the strap of the Sexi up around their ankles, the the opening of the Isabella is wider and the softer, jelly-like straps are much easier to slip on and off. I like that these have a slightly sleeker look (aided by the narrower width) and look a little dressier with the strappy design. The bronze color is a complimentary nude/neutral to my skin tone and will go great with all my lighter summer looks.
I'm not a fan of the other available colors, but if they were to come out with others, I'd consider buying more!
