I bought my crocs a few months ago. Now that the weather is really getting nicer here in the Northeast I am wearing them more and more and LOVE them :love: !

My problem and am wondering if anyone else has this problem, is it seems I find myself like "tripping up" often while wearing them. :rolleyes:

It does not matter if it is carpet, hardwood floors or the driveway?? :sad2:

I don't want to fall but I (so far) have caught myself each time and have not exactly fallen. I bought the right size!!!

HAPPENING TO ANYONE ELSE!! :rolleyes2
 
Normally I walk with the grace of a gazelle ;) but I have tripped a time or two, and almost as bad--the shoe has slipped off my foot landing a few inches away :blush:

Yeah, I bought mine about a month ago -- and four more pairs since then. I tripped twice in Target alone and tried to play it off. They're clunkier than my normal shoes, and I've never worn clogs before, so I attribute it to that. Glad somebody else joined my "trip" as well, though, and isn't afraid to admit it!! :3dglasses
 
I have a little trouble with this too and thought it was just me! I agree that they are just bigger than regular shoes. I also think that the material they are made of is "non-slip" so if it catches on something...it stays!
 

My DS must have tripped 3 or 4 times in Epcot our last trip. I think he's gotten used to them because it hasn't happened recently.
 
All I know is that I would have to be tripping to wear Crocs :)
 
My girls were tripping when they first got them... they don't anymore.
 
My family says it's because I drag my feet....glad to know it's not just me!
 
I don't trip when the strap is on the back...but when it's on the front, I trip all the time. Of course it could just be because I'm really clumsy :confused3

They are boating shoes so they are made to grip. On uneven surfaces they make me trip/stick. Which I really enjoy doing infront of my children.
 
I'm glad to hear others have the same problem....I just assumed it was me since I am always tripping over air.
 
I do it all the time - but I trip in bare feet on level ground! I'm such a klutz I assumed it was because of that, but I find myself picking up the front of my feet more to try not to trip!
 
I am pigeon-toed, so I trip over my own feet in any shoes. I haven't noticed any increase in tripping with the Crocs, though. :rotfl2:
