:scared1: No! :scared1:

Did you see this quote-
"The bottom line is, it's a horrible time to be a premium product"

They're $30 rubber shoes?
How is that premium?

Yeah, what he said....

I swore I would NEVER wear them. I Thought they were and are the ugliest shoes. Then I broke my foot in France, and couldnt wear anything I packed. Padalyn and others we were traveling with offered me there Disney Crocs.....I still own that borrowed pair, and about 5-6 others (Including Notre Dame, Professional, Mammouth and Motion). I was a retail general manager From September through January, and only my Crocs saved me from being on my feet 10 hours a day. Are they ugly, heck yeah. But it's the comfort that counts.

Awww...
I was never going to wear crocs. I don't know why (it's not like I'm high fashion, heck I'm not even low fashion). DP bought herself a pair last year. She had to buy herself another because I took hers and never gave them back. We all have brand new Disney Crocs waiting for us in April.

Hopefully they'll make. I'm already upset about Big Dogs.

I was an early fan of Crocs. ::yes:: I have several pair of the beaches version, a couple of Mary Janes and those wedgie slide ones...

However, since losing quite a bit of weight I can no longer wear them with comfort. :confused: I have quite a collection of "slip on these to run to the mail or trash" shoes now. :confused3

I'm tempted to buy more (especially of the less beachy look ones) because of the sale, but I'm afraid that they no longer work for me, so don't want to really spend the money.

Ugly? Absolutely. But hey, I'm a lesbian. What do I know from non-ugly shoes??? :rotfl: :rotfl:

I have the "Islander" crocs, which are a bit more stylish than regular crocs. To be honest though, I still find my sneakers to be more comfortable when walking.

Wally I don't know if there is an Ocean State Job Lot near you, ( you would prob have to come out of the city), but anyway, they have crocs there this month for $10.
the ad shows womens and kids styles, so I don't know if they will have men's too.

Thanks for the croc alert. :thumbsup2

I just wear them at wdw and in the summer knocking around the lake in Maine and at the beach. They're great for situations where you're in and out of the water or for tons of walking on pavement.

But hey - thanks to everyone for pointing out the abundantly OBVIOUS -
that they're not the best looking shoes - but I think we know that :rolleyes:
Again - they're comfortable.
Do I suggest them for going to dinner - no.

I doubt she does.
She gets all dressed up (we are all in suits, ties, evening dresses) and she puts on bright pink crocs!! Of course she also wears a camo jacket too.......

well I went into OSJL this evening while my dd was at gymnastics, and they did not have the Crocs. One of the workers told me they are coming soon, within the next week or so, and they are supposed to be the real ones, not fakes.

My friend Jeffrey "complained" to one of the cast members at one of the gift shops at the Poly because the Tinkerbell Crocs they sold weren't made any larger than 2 sizes smaller than what he wears. :rolleyes: If they made the character Crocs in larger adult sizes I'm sure they'd sell pretty well. :thumbsup2

Ok, so I came over to this forum knowing that I could get some reliable insight on Crocs. My gay pal moved so I am gal with no shopping buddy now, lol! I miss him so, sniff sniff. I just can't take my hubby shoe shopping it's just too painful for both of us. So now that my rant is over....

Despite its aesthetic shortcomings, I am considering a pair for our trip. Are they wide? I am a tall gal and wear a men's 10 wide. Would I look like a goon wearing them? The only colors available in my size on the web are red and a bright blue. Too crazy? I have this vision of me walking around in my khaki pedal pushers and black tanks with clown shoes on, lol! But if they are that comfy I may turn a blind eye to my feet. Thanks for any help.
