Another Croc Question -sorry

[abbie13_15]

I know this has been asked but i don't remember what was said. I really want a pair of crocs. I normally wear 7 1/2 shoe. When I went to try on crocs my big toe touched the end of the XS and the S were to big. Should I buy the S and put then in the drier? How much will they shrink? My other question is the different types. I know that they have a different style of croc that is for narrow feet. I would like to try these on but I don't know where they sell them. I have found them on their website but I would like to see them first. Does anyone have any help for me?

One idea is to try on different colors of the same shoe. I've found they are all slightly different. My red crocs are size 7 and my blue ones are size 8. I always wear socks with mine,no matter the time of year. But I definitely found trying on different ones even though they are the same size makes a difference.
Afraid I do not know anything about the narrow ones.

Good luck!

I may be wrong , but I thought that the idea of putting Crocs in the dryer was to heat up the shoe so it will stretch a little bit and also mold to your foot faster. I don't think you are going to get the shoe to shrink.

I would suggest trying the small on without the strap around your ankle and see if that works better. But, remember Crocs should fit kind of big. Your foot should almost feel like they are swimming in them and about the only place your foot should really touch at all is possible around the top across the upper part of your foot (I think it is called your instep).

I know when I got my shoes, they felt a little strange at first because they were not "tight" on my foot like a normal shoe is, but I had lots of wiggle room and that is what I love about them.

I normally wear an 8 and my Beach crocs are a Med (W8-9), my Niles are an 8, my Athens are an 8, but my Aspens run small and are a 9. If you normally wear an 7 1/2 I'd think you would need at least a Small. They're supposed to fit loose. I occasionally wear socka with my Beach, but usually don't. I do wear socks with my Aspens.

The longer you wear them the more they mold to your feet. You shouldn't need to put them in the dryer.

As far the the narrower style I'm not sure which ones you are talking about, but the Aspens do fit snugger than my other styles. I've never worn a size 9 shoe in my life until I got the Aspens. My mom was with me when I bought them and she also had to get a size bigger than usual in the Aspens.
