What's the difference? Help, I need to order some and don't know which to get.

Caymans tend to run bigger.. my feet have wiggle room in em.. Beach are snugger no wiggle room! So if you have wide feet I would definately go with the Caymans, Normal width the beach. I tend to prfer my Caymans more comfy.

I thought it was the other way around. Aren't the Beach the older ones? If so, they are bigger because the newer ones were designed to look more sleek and less bulky.

I think you're correct. The Beach is the "original" Croc.

The Cayman is billed as the "sleek and slender" version of the Beach (which, to me, means it fits more closely to your foot).

Well, I did buy my one pair of Beach from Shnoop.com, maybe they were defective because they are much snugger on me.

Beach Crocs are what we like. Nice wide comfy feel...

The Beach comes in sizes XS,S,M,L,XL and the Caymens come in actual sizes (4,5,6,7 etc) so they are a more specific fit (and slightly narrower).

That's the difference - because the Beach runs small-medium-large, they have to fit a larger range of sizes (I think medium in women's is 6-7). Caymans are sized like whole-size shoe sizes.

I bought my first pair last night, and girl who works at the Crocs kiosk (at my local mall) said that if you have wider feet, get the Beach. They are looser and wider. The Caymans fit more closely. I have narrower feet, so I got the Caymans.

The beach ones are wider but are in sizes like 7/8, 9/10 etc.

The cayman ones are a bit more narrow but are in full sizes like 8, 9, 10 etc.

I wear a womens 11 so I can't wear the beach size 10/11 cause they are too small and the size 12/13 are too big. So I have to buy the caymans to get a normal size 11.

I asked this exact same question last week and was told that the beach were narrower. I ordered the beach because of that.
