Are the Mary Jane Crocs as comfortable as Caymans?

[WeluvDisney2]

Does anyone have the Mary Jane Crocs? Are they comfortable? We are wondering how they compare with the Caymans. Thanks for your help!

I bought a pair in Nov. for our trip and I also bought the Cleo. I was not very happy with the Mary Jane's. I always ended up back to the Cleo's, I Love my Cleo's. The Mary Janes where OK for short distance walking, for me anyway.
I might just wear them around the house, I will not take them back to Disney.

I agree, I bought the Mary Janes and I'm not a big fan. Granted, mine are too small, but I still prefer the Caymans or Beach style.

I also bought the Cleo! I haven't worn them yet though.

I'm glad I asked before I bought them! Thanks guys!

I have 2 pr of the Mary Janes & LOVE them. Granted, they are not my normal favorite, the Cleo, but I do like them. I've been wearing them to work lately, to get used to them & maybe take them in June if my feet need something different than my Cleos.

I have a pair of peacock blue Mary Janes, and I love them!!

I have a pair of Mary Jane's and I love them

They are the only pair I've found that fits my very narrow feet comfortably

I know exactly what you mean Minnie. I also have narrow feet!

I have quite a few different Croc styles, and I have worn most of them at WDW- here is how I rate the top 5:

1- Beach. Good for all day, all night touring. Cushy, lots of padding, and no rubbing.
2- Cayman. Almost as good as Beach, but a little narrower, so not quite as comfy for open-to-close touring. If you have narrower feet, you might like these best of all.
3- Cleo. 2 strap slide sandals with no backstrap. These sre very comfy, but are a little narrow. I also have a little issue with my feet slipping around in them when it is hot outside- my feet get sweaty. Pretty comfortable, but not for 15 hours at a time in the parks.
4- Mary Jane. They are nice and lightweight, cute, and streamlined looking. The only problem I have with them is that they have a thinner sole than the Beach or Cayman models, so I can really feel the hard pavement under them by the end of a long day at the parks. My feet tend to get more tired and sore wearing MJs than with Beach or Cayman.
5- Capri. These are the "2nd generation" flip flops for Crocs and much more comfy, IMO, than the Athens style. The upper and toe strap are made of fabric, so they feel better than the others. The Athens toe post always feels too thick, and gave me blisters. The Capri's don't.

The Crocs I personally can't wear for walking hours at a time around WDW:

Athens- toe post is too thick and stiff- gave me blisters. HOWEVER, many folks absolutely love them for WDW.
Prima- ballet flats- got too sweaty and don't have near enough cushioning. Rub against the back of my heels and give blisters if I walk around too long in them.
Sassari- heels by Crocs. Cute, but they are HEELS!! Not for walking long distances.
Malindi- new flat slingbacks. VERY cute, but not for walking all day. Too narrow, and toes get cramped. Will rub blisters on me if I walk too far in them.
Mammoth- These are super comfy, but unless you are touring WDW in the dead of winter, they will be too warm, since they are lined with sheepskin.

Wow! Great review MomofKatie. This was really helpful. Thanks.

I love my primas!

I just bought some bright orange Mary Janes and some pink celestes today!

Yay me!

I think my Mary Janes are much more comfortable than my Beach crocs and I have a wide foot with a very high instep. But I wouldn't wear either for an entire day in the park...I wear lightweight running shoes and supportive socks and save my crocs for evenings.

What! no disneies?? (change the y to i and add es.- )

I wore my mary janes to a P& PP. They matched my Belle costume, and were great. No problems with my feet.

Well...

1 pair of my Beaches are Disney (pink/pearl), and I just got a pair of Minnie Janes (black/ruby)

I didn't mention them before- I have waaaay too many pairs, and I seem to keep buying more!!

 

[monica31671]

I like my Mary Janes better than my Beach Crocs.

But... I think I like my Cleos the best.

 

[PEANUT1]

Add me to the love them list.

I like them because they are super comfy.....and they are so much cuter than the caymans. They don't make your feet look like boats.

Wow, Thanks everyone for taking the time to post such great answers!
Has anyone tried the Patra's? I saw them at Dick's Sporting Goods today.
