Dbat, I think it's so interesting that you mentioned the Crocs! My youngest dd is extremely sensory and picky about her clothes, but I'd never thought beyond the dresses/pants/shirts/socks etc. re sensory issues. She doesn't wear socks. Period.
Anyway, she has *always* insisted she wear her Crocs everywhere and I thought it was just a fashion-thing (and it drove me nuts!). I don't know why, but it never occured to me it could be a sensory issue with shoes too.
Thanks for posting the link ABQMom!
