[LuluLovesDisney]

Anyone try these?

Are they comfortable to wear all day?

Do I size down like with regular Crocs?

Anyone know of a cheaper source?

I know everyone loves crocs, but the other styles didn't appeal to me. These look cute but I'm not sure if they'd be as comfortable as everyone says the other Crocs are.

Thanks!

I've had a pair for three months and love them. I had a few doubts about paying 29.99 for flip flops. I recently tried the ones at Payless and had trouble with the toe bar. Just didn't seem as soft, but they look identical. I'm curious to see if anyone has seen the Athens on sale.

Me, my mom and my son all bought a pair at the Crocs Kiosk at MCO. My mom has really bad feet, but wouldn't wear the regular ones because she thought they were too ugly. We're all loving the flip flops!

I just got them and wear them ALL the TIME! I plan on getting more. I suggest these to anyone!

Have you seen the orange Airwalks that look like rugged sandals? I can't figure any way else to describe them. Tried them on in a larger size, because they didn't have my size. They felt awesome and weren't nearly as ugly...with the exception that they are bright orange!

I've been debating about the Crocs flip flops too. Are they comfortable enough to wear all day long walking miles in the parks??? I'm curious!

I'm curious too since this is the style that I find most appealing as well!

There are really really really good! I will never wear anything other than Croc's Flops to Disney again! They are great!

 

[ShellyBelly]

Thanks! I am going to get some for DH and kids too!!

I love, love, love, love these shoes! I used to not wear to many flip flop style shoes because I couldn't walk around for very long at a time before my feet and my legs would start hurting me. Now with these, I will actually go to the mall in them or take a walk in them without any problems. I am just waiting to see if I can find them on sale/ clearance at the end of the season so I can get a couple more pair in different colors.

Like most other CROCS, I found that they run a little bit big. I normally wear a 9 or 9 1/2, but in the Athens, I had to get an 8.

Oh, I also tried the payless version of these and did not find them as comfortable. On the CROCS version you do not feel or notice the little line that runs between the two different colors, but with the payless ones you can feel this. It is almost like the color on the outside is raised up a little bit and you can feel a little "ridge" running around the shoe.

I bought a black pair (in a smaller size) a couple of weeks ago. They are very comfortable! I was a little apprehensive about buying a pair of $30.00 flip-flops too. They are now my favorite shoe. I have flat feet, so they feel comfortable in that respect too. I'm going to wear them when we go to the parks in a couple of weeks. I've had a couple of people compliment them...they are much cuter than the big crocs. I say try them, they were worth the money to me.

Bought a pair of the flip flops last week and they are very comfortable and very cushy

 

[LuluLovesDisney]

Thank you for all the replies. I'm so glad they seem to be as comfy as the others. I think I'm going to get the white and turquoise ones. I normally wear a 9 1/2 and I don't have wide feet. I'm trying to decide if I should get an 8 or a 9.

I found the ugly orange style.
In black.
Bought 2 pairs.
1 for me, 1 for DS.
Most comfortable sandles I have ever wore.

I've got two pairs and mine seemed to run true to size. I normally wear an 8 so bought an 8 and they fit perfectly.

FYI: I find my Teva Mush flip flops more comfortable. I also bought a pair of Adidas Tureia flip flops that are more comfortable than the Crocs Athens too. I've worn all three pairs walking and will probably be taking the Teva Mush and Adidas Tureia to WDW instead of the Crocs.

I normally wear an 7 1/2 or an 8 but in the athens I bought the 7 and they fit perfect. I have high arches so my feet normally ache if I am on them for a while without arch support. I wore the athens for a day trip to Cooperstown and the Baseball Hall of Fame and didn't have any arch pain. They were better than my sneakers. I too was worried about spending $30.00 on flip flops but they were the only crocs that appealled to me. I am very happy with my purchase and would reccommend them to anyone thinking about getting crocs.

Hi
I had a pair of the Athens flip flops, but took them back. I wish they would've fit better. The post between the toes on the left foot really bothered me, otherwise, they would have been real comfy. I ended up ordering the new croc scutes on their website. They're great. I'm thinking about getting another pair in brown. I bought the navy blue. I've been wearing them all day so they'll be the shoe I wear most for my August trip.

The Athens flip flops for me seemed comfy in the store, but I decided against them because my little toe kept falling off the outer edge and I have narrow feet...Not something I would want to deal with after spending $30 on the shoes! However, I have had great luck with my Crocs Niles sandals instead. I even sometimes forget I am wearing shoes when I have them on!

I have the Athens flip flops that I got at Dick's Sporting Goods for $29.00.

I love them! To me they are much more comfy than the Airwalk (Payless) version, and I swear by my Airwalk "Beach Style".

Also, I find for me the Airwalks from Payless seem to run a little bigger than the Crocs. Anyone else find this? I got an 8 in the Athens and I usually wear an 8-81/2. They fit me fine.

The only problem I had was that I had to file down the "seams" on the in-between-the toe-thingie with a stiff nail file. The seem bothered me a little at first, but now it is fine. I can wear them all day without a problem!

Do you find that the material that the Crocs are made of make your feet sweat?
