No, I have this weird pillow case made from cloth, not leather.

Yup, New Balance leather-free sneakers are far more comfortable/supportive than Crocs.

+1. That's what I wear. Crocs and I just never hit it off...

Btw, for all the trend followsers classic Tom's have a leather inner sole so cannot be worn.
Only the Vegan Toms are ok.

Both.

Although, if you have the classics, the soles come out pretty easily and can be replaced with any other. That's the only problematic part.

What's the issue with Rav Elyashiv assuring crocs?  I thought whatever the misnagdim say, we do the opposite!   ;D

My friend was walking to shul in crocs on Yom Kippur, and his feet were sore after the walk. The grass and pebbles were bugging his toes. Not to mention, they're open for pests because the holes are so big.
Thus, crocs are not leather-comfortable.
