Maui Water Wear

I received a pair of crocs for my baby’s first birthday with an accessory button that fits in one of the holes on the sandal. Since it was a little small for him, I took it back to the store to exchange for credit. The person working there was not very friendly. I’m not sure if its because I was returning an item or if that was her normal attitude, but she looked at the crocs and told me that they could give me a credit as an exchange now but could not give a credit to use at a later date. Not very customer friendly, I thought to myself. Since I didn’t know what to exchange it for, I returned a week later with my wife and baby.
When we told the second cashier that we wanted to make an exchange for a different item, she looked at the crocs and told us they could not take them back because there was an accessory button on it. She said the crocs will be damaged and unsellable if it was removed.
Why do they even bother giving a gift receipt for the crocs and button if they already know that they won’t take it back? The gift giver is purchasing the gift, thinking that the receiver can exchange it for something they want. Seems like this store will do whatever they can to make a sale. They really should inform the customer that all sales are final if you add the accessory button and not issue a worthless gift receipt. Beware of what you purchase at this store, especially if its a gift. The gift receipt may be worthless.

I’m reviewing this place because it helped save my life.

Well actually, this place helped save my ability to still be able to walk.
That’s no joke.
So I got this new job… And it requires a more than decent amount of walking.
And I have to wear covered shoes, but they have to be NICE and pseudo-​business like. (I work at a hospital and they want you to look professional.)
I definitely want to wear somewhat-​fashionable attire or something that’ll make me stick out… you know, so I don’t feel like a clone or whatever like running around in scrubs…
On Tuesday, to work, I wore these ridiculous flats that I bought when I lived in Seattle…
BAD IDEA
because these freaking bear-​trap-​esque shoes chewed up my ankle/​heel area and left me with a quarter-​sized blister.
That night, I covered it in a Hello Kitty bandaid – I figured that would do the trick.
Oh, and btw I threw those flats away – they are on permanent time out and have been exiled to a far away place.
So on Wednesday I wore these other cute flats that I had, which had never done me wrong. I also had a bandaid on the blister, so I figured I was good to go!
BOY OH BOY, WAS I WRONG.
Turns out ONE Hello Kitty bandaid isn’t as protective as I thought.
Yeah and I ended up making my blister even bigger… and the blister juice leaked all over the back of my shoe :(
SOOOOOOOOOOO… Wednesday evening I decided to get some crocks. YES, crocks. And I used to quiver every single time I thought about these unattractive buoy-​like shoes… but not anymore.
Surprisingly Maui Water Wear has an amazing selection of them. AND THEY HAVE CUTE ONES! I ended up buying 2! One black, one white… They look like ballet flats! Very cute!!! :)
The staff was so helpful! Especially after explaining my horrifying experience with flats! :)
So far these crocks have proven themselves to be the most comfortable flats I have ever owned.
Thank you Maui Water Wear and your wonderful staff for helping me out!!!
