Croc Virgin & I've got questions!

[traci]

I keep reading and seeing Crocs everywhere. Please tell me about this shoe. Is it as comfy as I hear? Do you get blisters w/out wearing socks? Are they true to size (if I wear an 8, would I wear a Croc size 8)? What about toddler sizes (my kids are 2 and 3).

Thank you for any insight! Just wondering if I should get a pair for the family for our next trip.

I just bought my first pair of Crocs today at a Hallmark store. So far so good! Very comfy. I generally wear a size 8 or 8.5 and I got size M which is women's 8-9. They are pretty generous in size and almost a little too wide for my feet. I almost could fit into the size smaller but the length was a little short. I also bought my daughter some, although I got her the generic brand at TRU and I got her an 8 which is her tennis shoe size and again they are a bit generous.

We just got some for our kids ages almost 4 and almost 2. They have been wearing them non stop the past few days. I love that they can put them on themselves, and they seem pretty comfy. My son says they are his favorite shoes, even over the Lightning McQueen sneakers his cousins sent him! We got ours online at Dick's sporting goods off of a tip here- with the code and Google checkout they were about $10 each!

I have tried the Prima and the Mary Jane style and like them both better than the original. I think I will go with the Mary Jane style for the WDW trip.

I wear an 8 and I bought an 8/9 from Dicks. I definatly found they're too short and I need the 10/11. FYI-Dicks WILL NOT let you return. Instore or other wise. You have to mail them back and RE-ORDER.

So I used a discount code, and used the google check out, got a pair for $13.99. Now they want me to send them back and basically pay full price for them even though I originally bought them for way cheaper.

I think I'll sell the ones I bought from DICKS on eBay and buy a new pair from a better retailer.

zappos will take them back and they pay the shipping..not you..zappos is so east i have ordered so many things from that store..and they have tons of colors and styles to chose from...did you also know that they make crocs rx..for people with diabetes and back problems? you have to go to crocs site for those though

I'm in a similar situation...trying to buy a pair of crocs for each of my kids and the sizing is a little confusing. For example....dd is 6 and wears a size 12 1/2 shoe. Which size croc should I order???

Thanks!

I've been considering buying these for my son who will be 2-1/2 on our next trip, but I was worried about how comfortable they would be for such a little kid. Anyone have kids this young who wore them A LOT or on a WDW trip already?

its hard to say..caymen crocs are sized different than beach crocks...caymen what we bought are sized womens and men...my daughter is wearing a 1m/3w...she is a size 2 shoe..my son is a size 11..i ordered him a size 12/13...same sizing as beach...he is 3...and remember with the crocs they may look big but they dont move on your foot...your foot should no go all the way to the back...more like 1/3 of an inch...when the strap is up they will look big if your judging from how close your heel is from the back of the shoe...hope this helps...but again you order wrong size you call zappos and they ship you out the size you want that day and you can print your return label right then...this is the place to buy them from if your going on line to buy

We actually went to the kiosk and tried them on first so we knew what sizes to order from Dicks.

Hi,

My kids live in Crocs ... they hate any other shoe ... even flip flops. As the earlier poster said, often the crocs run big (especially the Cayman) but they still fit with the strap down. I wear a size 6 and my Crocs are size small. They are a little big, b ut still comfortable. The only crocs I wouldn't recommend are the Primas (ballerina style). Although the footbed is comfy, i get blisters on my heels because the back is very rigid. Good Luck!

I love my Crocs! I have always worn Birkenstocks and cannot believe that I prefer to wear my Crocs to the parks instead of my Birks. When I first got my Crocs I wasn't too sure that I would like them. I tried wearing them to go shopping and found that the top of my foot got red. I just wore them around the house all the time until I got used to them. I wear them every day now. I can't even tell you the last time I had a pair of my Birks on. I don't wear socks with mine.

If you can find a Crocs kiosk in a local mall go try some on so you can find the style and size that fits you best. The Beach style has sizes xs-xl. I wear a 7.5 and I wear the medium in that style. The Cayman is very similiar but not as wide and the sizes run 6 - 12. I have a wide foot and cannot wear this style.

My friend who is also a big Birks fan decided that if I liked Crocs then she would try a pair too. We went to the mall to the Crocs kiosk and she was having trouble finding the right size in the color she wanted. The salesperson told us that the sizes vary depending on what factory they were manufactured in. She tried on the same size from two different factories and you could definitely see a difference in the fit.

I also have a pair of the Athens (flip-flops). I wish I would have waited to buy these because I like some of the new styles better.

My kids both have the origional style croc(I think that's the cayman style I am not very versed on the name of the styles). They love them and wear them with and without socks. They seem to work well in just about any situation and my DS even wears his playing football at recess. I have found they run pretty true to size for them. At Christmas I got my DS the Mickey crocs and I just got my DD a new pink pair with 4 Disney princess gibbits. She is going to get them while we are down there for her birthday. I have stuck my feet in my DS crocs a few times to let the dog out and I love how cushy they are. I think I am going to get myself a pair this week too for our trip.

Can someone please post or pm the codes and websites to get them for $10 and $13.99? My son was just admiring the green Mickey Crocs earlier and we can't afford $30 for them, and I know my husband would benefit from a pair. Thanks!

my dd 15 months LOVES these shoes...i think they are ugly (thats just me lol) but she loves them she had a pair of little blue ones and she wants to wear them with everything! i saw the disney crocs at dillards but they were 29.00...i was not about to spend that much on baby shoes....so i found some little pink ones (off brand) and put little minnie mouse croc buttons on them and they are better than the ones i saw at dillards for a grand total of 9.00 .she loves those too....lol
