croc (flip flop)wearers help pls

[jm106]

I got them after reading so many ppl say they are the most comfy and can be work all day.
I am wearing them to try them out and see if I love them for disney- Have issues
1. The straps for the thongs arent too tight, and one seems loose(kind of bows like of someone with wide feet wore them). Are they going to loosen and stretch more? They are Capri Canvas style
2. The bumpy things on the foot part are irritating the underneath of my toes. They rub when I walk, causing a friction burn. Anyone else have this issue? I always wear flip flops and other sandals and never seem to have issues.
Ill keep trying and see if I get used to them but not loving them off the bat. Everyone said they are the most comfy shoes made, and I am not getting that vibe.

The "massage" factor is something you'll get used to. My new pairs always hurt a bit when I first wear them, but after a few weeks, you'll be fine.

The fabric will probably loosen up; just like any shoe, they need to be broken in.

Don't throw them out just yet; wear them for a week or two and if they're still awful and/or giving you blisters, then ditch 'em!

still have tags on so I am decideing if Ill return them, if they stretch they will be too big for sure. My feet slide forward a bit already.

Do you think you chose the correct size? They will take a few days to feel comfortable, but I wear them all day at Disney. I would wear them around the house and see how they feel in a day or two.

 

[jm106]

yes the lengthis perfect, but the straps are wide. I have never had an issue with that before. if they didnt have tags I would have thought someone wore them and stretched them a bit, more on the right foot.

Warning! I have the Croc flip-flops and love them. I wear them all the time through out the summer. However, I made the mistake of wearing them last May for a morning outing to Epcot. I got the biggest blister on the bottom of my foot that I had ever seen! It took weeks to heal. Just wanted to share my experience.

On the Crocs flip-flops, do you guys get a size smaller than your normally wear? I bought 2 pair in my regular size, but like the PP said, they feel like they may be more suitable for someone with a wider foot. I say that b/c they feel really loose and too wide.

My other crocs (the clog type) fit a little wide too, but I think they are supposed to fit that way and are really comfortable.

I'm thinking about sending the flip-flops back though for a smaller size. What do you guys think about the sizing?

Lands End has wonderful sandals (croc-like) except you just slide your foot into. No bumpy things on bottom. Suppose to be better for your foot too since they are not flip-flop between your toes. I ordered about 6 pairs last yr in different colors, going to be ordering again this yr. They are called 'Trellos', I believe. Great sandal though, I highly recommend.

I prefer the Athens Cro flip flops over the Capris (for comfort) But although I wear them all summer, not sure that they would be the best choice for all day walking in Disney!

 

[jm106]

thanks, the lands end trellas are like reg. crocs not thong style I was looking for. I dont care for those. And I already have the Capris, and like the style(I only got crocs because I read they are great for the parks and the capris are cute). I just wondered about the fit, though I am getting used to the bumps.

I have red and black mickey crocs!
They get some getting used to

My croc flip flops aren't hard on my feet, they're hard on my knees. I can feel it in my knees when I've worn them for a long period of time and I'm very nervous about wearing them in a park. Haven't done it yet.....

Crocs Athens Flip Flops are great!!

I brought my flip flops and sneakers, but I ended up wearing my Athens flip flops every day of our last trip to Disney and plan to wear them again on this upcoming trip. I find them to be very comfortable and they do not make the backs of my knees ache like my sneakers do. I have had issues for years with the shoes/sandals I have worn to the parks - achy legs, sore feet - but not this last trip. Those flip flops were a dream!

I do order one size smaller. They are rather wide, so that might be a problem if you have thin feet. The flip flops were not new - I had already worn them for two months, so they were "broken in" before the trip.

 

[jm106]

thanks, I am going to keep themand wear around home and see. I cant get a smaller size, I wear 7.5 and got a 7, 6 would be too small length wise.

Any updates? I'm debating on weather to get some Croc flipflop for my trip in May. There are two styles I'm undecide on though, the Capri and Captiva.

Does anyone know which stores carry both so I can try them on?

I got the Crocs Canvas Capris and had the same issues! I bought them because of the rave reviews, but the canvas straps are way too wide on my foot. It seems like they've been stretched out. But everyone has different feet, so they can't work for everyone, I guess.

On a different note, I bought some Crocs Patricia sandals and love them so far, but I'm not sure if I'll be wearing them around the parks all day. I also ordered some Teva Mush flip flops (on sale) and am going to give them a try.

I agree with this post. I have three pair of Athens I wear around here, but will never wear to Disney again. The one time I took them down there, I had a blister just below my big toe by lunch time, the first day I wore them. I wore my Teva Mush the rest of the week.

You cant take them back once you wore them

I've got 6 pairs of the Croc Capri Flip Flops & depending on the style of the Capri cloth straps & whether or not they're marked for Men or Women the sizes really do vary. Out of the 6 pairs I have 3 size 8, 2 size 9 and 1 size 7. I actually wear a size 8 1/2 in normal shoes. The straps on these shoes don't bother me at all & I actually have a wide foot. I've worn them for 15 hours straight at the MK during rain, heat & humidity and had absolutely no back, leg or foot pain at all. It was unbelievable. During the winter I wear the wooly Mammoth style crocs which I have 2 pair size 9's. All are very comfortable. I live in Florida and I'm in these flips almost 24/7, 365....but before I wear them at WDW I make sure that they're very well broken in. I've gotten no blisters or anything from wearing them to all the parks (except for AK, I don't wear them there cuz I'm a klutz.)

Ok, I found the Croc Capri's AND Teeva Mush today and got both. I'll be wearing both at home a LOT until I'm positive I like them. Then if I like both, I guess both will be going with me in May! Do you think its ok to alternate between those two? (One pair is black and one is brown )
