| Crocs Adult Classic Clogs |
"I was a Crocs hater turned lover, and I literally wear mine every day," says SEO associate editor Kamari Stewart about the controversial clogs. "A friend bought them for me for Christmas a few years ago in a bright turquoise color and I unashamedly wear them all the time now." |

Crocs Women's Brooklyn Low Wedges |
"I never thought I'd say Crocs are 'elegant' but these platform sandals have such a classic look," says associate editor Shannon Garlin. "Both times I've dressed them up I've gotten so many compliments on them and blurted out 'They're Crocs! Can you believe it?!'" |

At first, senior SEO editor Jess Bender wasn't sure about Teva's podiatrist-approved sporty sandals — but then she tried them for herself. "I was skeptical because I don't naturally gravitate towards the style, but I became infatuated from my first wear thanks to the adjustable, secure fit and cushy midsoles." |

Madewell Cari Fisherman Sandal |
This fisherman sandal gives the style a modern update, with an extra-low heel, smooth leather and cushy padding that the brand says will make you feel like you're walking on a cloud. (We'll take the latter over a "pretty" shoe any day). |
