Amid a sea of squeaky supportive sneakers, she, in her scrubs-matching navy clogs, seemed to stride the linoleum floors just a bit more gracefully. The second time was a cornflower-blue pair belonging to a stylish lady heading into a Bed-Stuy Pilates studio. And the third, this time bright yellow, was on our regular waiter at Achilles Heel in Greenpoint.

He bought his first pair of Calzuros in the fall of 2013 on a work trip to Italy, where he noticed them on a fellow cheese-maker during a factory visit. Civitello has since purchased over 30 pairs for himself and his employees.

Michael Yuan, an oral and facial surgeon in Tampa, Florida, is enthusiastic about his pair. Like Cronin, Yuan found out about Calzuros by word of mouth. He’d tried both Danskos and Crocs but then saw Calzuros on a few colleagues who swore by them.
