Croc Patra vs. Cleo?

[niklynn1]

I want to order a pair of Crocs for upcoming trip. When looking at the website the Cleo and Patra styles look an awful lot alike? Can somebody give me some input as to the comfort level of each? Can't decide which to order and my trip is less than 1 mo away, so I need to get them ordered! Help!

I've never worn the patra's but I have 2 pair of the Cleo's and love them!

I believe they are essentially the same sandal with the exception of the straps..the cleo straps pivot whereas the Patra ones don't and the Patra strap says Croc on it. I have the Patra ones and they are really comfortable.

Last I read, (somewhere here on the DIS I believe), CROCS were going Chapter 11, and talking about closing down this calendar year. Check into it if your not sure, but they were on the list of retailers in the red last quarter (the last few). The news said something like 200 retail stores would be closing for good this year, and I remember reading about Crocs.

I have two pairs of Cleo that i wore for 2 1/2 weeks all over Europe last summer with tons of walkking and they were the BEST! I plan on wearing them to WDW in August so I highly recommend them!
