Crocs- Athens Flip Flops? Comfy? Best price?

[XxUsedFan802xX]

I bought a pair of the Athens flip flops for myself and daughter. We both LOVE them. (Got them at Dicks - 29.00)

I have been wearing them alot and my feet do not sweat at all and it has been very hot and humid here in Pennsylvania.

I would recommend these to anyone.

Love my Croc flops (as I so lovingly refer to them as). I like them better than the regular clog looking Croc. I have those too, but it seems I was in between sizes in the clog style and the clog is really big, but the Croc flop I am a true size 7 and bought/wear a size 7 flop. They are very comfortable, I love them, but not the price $30. Can't find them on sale anywhere, bit the bullet and paid full price, but worth it!

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

No, my feet don't sweat, at least not in the athens.

I stopped in at Dick's this evening, mostly to size them since everyone has been saying they tend to run big. I wear a 10 or 11 depending on how the shoes are made, my Birks are 11, but the 10 in the Athens fit me great. I will probably end up ordering them online though....I had a very hard time finding even one pair in the store!!

I ordered my athens crocflops from www.shoemall.com.
$29,95 free shipping. THey cam ein 2 days. I ordered my shoe size and tho they are a little big...a smaller size would have been too short. (I think with flops, you want to have enough length so that you have a little protection both for your toes and heels.

I stepped on a nail last week and it went through the croc and then my foot...but saved me about 1/2 inch of nail IN my foot. Not sure how to 'heal' the hole in my croc tho!

Don't have any sweating, but that isn't usual in an open flip flop is it?

I'm wondering, for those who have regular Crocs and the flop..is there more padding on the sole of the regular?

I agree with this. I usually wear a 10-10 1/2 and bought both of my Athens in size 10. They look a little big, but the 9s just didn't fit quite right. The foot is supposed to fit into the cushion and not ride up the lip of the heel, which is what happened when I put on the smaller size. I kicked a wall corner the other day with them on and was glad to have a little buffer in front - I didn't get hurt and am pretty sure I would have with any other flip flops on. I these sandals. They're like walking on marshmallows.

Love them! I have beach ones and the new athens. I will take both. I have learned to wear socks with the beach ones.

I love my athens! This coming from a person who has never EVER worn flip flops of any kind due to the thing in between the toes!! These aren't bad, I don't even notice the toe thing. I'm hoping to have them broken in enough by the time I go on vacation.

I do have 1 question though - I have the beach and the athens and when I wear them I don't think my feet sweat but for some reason after a few minutes of having them on, when I walk, they sqeak! It's really embarrassing! lol Anyone have any suggestions or a similar situation or is it just me? My SIL has no problems.

Any help would be great! Thanks!

I have the light blue flip flops and I LOVE them. I got them at MC Sports for $29.99. They also have them in all colors at our local Readmore Hallmark store. That totally shocked me that they would have them. I live in a town of 3,000 people and the mall 30 miles away doesn't even have the flip flops.
My DD8 REALLY wants a pair too, but I can't see spending $25.00 for flip flops for her, when she will only be able to year them one summer. But they are the most comfortable shoe I have ever worn. I rarely take them off.

I just bought a pair of the Athens crocs yesterday and I just love them! I have never found a pair of flip flops that don't kill me between my toes or that have straps that don't give me blisters. These seem so comfortable!! DBf is going to buy a pair for himself for our trip in August!

All the athens crocs I have seen are all priced at 29.99. Does anyone know where Crocs complete line is sold in the RI/SE Ma area. I would like to try on the Relief style.

I had been wearing my Athens around and about and thought they were great, but I took them to DL and after a day in the park my feet were killing me. I never had that problem with the Beach while at WDW. The Beach style has more support I think. JMHO
