I've read so many responses about the Crocs - are they really that comfy to walk around in all day long?? I've seen the knock offs in Target and Payless and they look so huge - do the run in sizes like normal shoes, I guess what I'm asking is would I buy a size 8 in Crocs if I normally wear a size 8 shoe??

I really wasn't sure how comfy they were going to be either. I have wide feet, so my shoes were smashing my pinky toes after 2 days in to our trip. I had blisters and was walking all funny! So I gave in and bought some, and the next day my feet felt GREAT (minus the blisters were still a bit sore). I was really surprised. I went from really bad off to having better feet then my two guys.

I wear a size 8 shoe and bought a size large. Medium just wasn't wide enough for me. The large is a little big on me, but very comfortable. I've heard mixed reviews on the knock off brands. Some say to always just get the Croc brands, others say they are comfortable too. So I don't know, I felt it better safe to stick with the Croc brand.

Some of the styles run in "real" sizes; I just bought the sandals and a pair of Mary Janes, and I bought them in my usual size, a 10.

The beach (the style they're so well known for) comes in SM, MD and LG. The large (translate: 10-11) just fits me; I don't think they would be big enough for someone with a size 11 foot.

Oh, I almost forgot: they are the MOST comfortable shoe I've ever worn!! And believe me, I am very picky about the way my shoes fit (lots of pairs in the closet only worn once because they hurt my feet ).

I wish I wouldn't have been so put-off by the way they look. I'm kicking myself for waiting so long to try them.

I just purchased my first pair of Crocs yesterday... so far I LOVE them. I purchased them based on the comments I read here and I wanted to "test drive" them before our first trip to DL in Aug. I love them so much I am going to go buy my kids crocs for a test drive as well... they will be perfect for the pool... wet rides and for keeping little feet comfy!!!

This sounds like an exact replay of why I bought my first pair about 2 months ago. Now I am a complete convert, I have 3 pairs (and counting), and no one can take my crocs away!

If they would only make them a tad more fashionable.

DH has tired feet (along with the rest of us). He said he would forget fashion for the sake of comfort and then I mentioned the Crocs. I think he's still thinking about the answer.

I don't care have comfortable they supposedly are. I will never wear them.

 

[thedarksyde]

I wear waterproof keen's and always bring extra socks. Always.

We put on our bright yellow Mickey ponchos, put the cameras in the backpack on my lap under the poncho and then off we go.
My head, face and feet can get wet but the rest stays dry.

i so want to buy crocs..but idont know ..they look so ugly. I tryed ordering them befor but the site seemed to not be working.. dose the off name brands relly matter. ive seen them at walmart..and do you wear socks with them or not?

Do people ever just wear flip flops or sandals to DL? That avoids the whole "wet shoe and sock" ordeal that SM would cause... or are Crocs the new flip flop?

Yes, my g/f wore flip flops/sandals to the parks, and actually said it was comfortable and didn't have a problem with her feet hurting her. I would say if you don't like the Crocs just wear a nice comfortable pair of flip flops so you don't have to worry about wet shoes and/or socks.

OH we got SOAKED and I mean SOAKED. I think there is some mini-water explosion that goes off at random intervals, and it doesn't happen to all the boats, but it went off and flooded the entire boat. My mother was angry the rest of the day.

I wore crocs and it was blissful and you dry out really quickly I also found that wearing ankel socks with runners were a miracle worker. My feet rarely got soaked anyway, just the rest of my body.

I've had Crocs for about a year and worn them on my last several trips to DL. In the winter I wore them with socks, just for warmth. In summer, no socks.

They're the most comfortable shoes I've ever worn to DL. My 9 year old nephew wore some for the first time on our trip a couple of weeks ago and he loved them. No worries when it comes to getting wet feet on a water ride!

I do have a pair of knock-offs that were a gift and they are nowhere near as comfortable, but I don't know if that would be true of all.

I wear a size 10 shoe and wear the size LG crocs. When I bought my first pair I was told they should feel loose, compared to regular shoes. They do conform to your feet after a few wearings.

As to getting wet, I brought ponchos for our trip a couple of weeks ago, but it was quite warm so I didn't mind getting wet on the rides and didn't wear one. I did bring ziplocks for our phones and cameras in the backpack. We got much wetter on Grizzly River Rapids than on Splash Mt.

One word of warning: think twice about going on these rides right before sundown. It gets cool pretty quickly and you could be very uncomfortable. My cousin was so cold she had to go back to the hotel to change.
