Pil: Crocs are great for bad weather, since they can't be ruined by rain and mud washes right off. I only have the leopard flats, but I wear them to festivals and even downtown chicago on days that threaten rain. I think they last pretty well, although they could get punctured.

Rachy: I'm a true DoctorWho/Masterpiece Theater loving BBC-phile. I watch Inspector Lewis just for the scenery. I wish the reference had been deliberate!

Well, if they're mud proof and you are going on vacation......
