Can someone remind me how to make my crocs bigger?

[CinRell]

I know to stretch the back strap carefully but somehow I shrank them all around. I think from having them dry in the sun maybe? They aren't as comfy as they once were and my foot seems to touch places it shouldn't....

How do I do that dryer trick and how to I loosen them?

Thanks

Anybody get the "dress shoes" crocs yet? Are they comfy?

I would also like to know this as well. I originally bought a pair at Dick's Sporting Goods in person, and liked them so much, that I ordered a pair in a different color from Croc's website. Same size, but they don't fit the same. The website pair are a lot smaller???? Incidently, both pairs were manufactured in Denver.

Put them in the dryer for 10 minutes, and then put 3-4 pairs of socks on and wear them around until they cool.

Hi
I've put mine in the dryer also, but only for about a minute or two. Ten minutes might be too long and they might really shrink. I would start out with just a few minutes and then increase the time if it doesn't seem like enough time to stretch them. Good luck!

Thank you! What cycle?

Hi CinRell,
I don't remember if I put my Crocs in the dryer with the normal cycle or the gentle cycle. Sorry!!!

a bit off topic but Is it okay for a guy to wear crocs? I m 5 10 250lb i dont want to look like a huge dork for wearing them if i get them

It's absolutely ok for guys to wear them! I don't know that it's as common but recently in niagara falls I saw a few men wearing.. and buying them! THey're HUGE up there..

anyway yes.. get them! I'm trying to convince DBF to get them. I might just buy him some and force him to wear them one day

Go for it! In fact... do like I do.. I"m TALL and a pooh sized girl... I have big feet and so what did I do?

I got BRIGHT LIME GREEN ones! That way they're IN YOUR FACE and just DARING someone to make a comment

My DH 6' 240lb wears them as do my DS's 13 and 10 (well my sons will only wear them at WDW) But DH wears them all the time. I think as long as they are a manly color, black, dark brown, navy, go for it.

My husband is in his early 30's and wears other sandels and flip flop type sandels from American Eagle and such, A buddy of his (also in his early 30's and single) got a pair and ALL of the "guys" in their group make fun of him....especially when my 3 year old daughter walked up with the same pair on and said, "Tony---we are wearing the same shoes!!!"

Well, I was an anti-Croc person until I tried them. To me, they are about as close to being barefoot as you can be with shoes on. Yes, they look silly, and yes, little kids wearing crocs can sometimes bond with you, but IMHO, function is more important than form.

I never thought I would see my husband wearing these. . . .6'1 240lbs., macho attitude. But he bought a pair and thought they were great.
As long as you find whatever is on your feet comfy . . .

Does this stretching really work? I seem to be inbetween sizes. One size just floats on me, the other seems just a tad short w/ as another poster said "parts of my foot coming in contact w/ it that shouldn't". I would love to be able to wear them but as I say, one is too short, one way to big. anyone else have this problem?
