has anyone seen them both? wondering if the Payless ones are going to hold up and if they seem to be the same quality as the CROCS. I don't usually shop in Payless so don't know. I don't have a problem with Payless, more a problem with my feet!
 
I have a pair of both. I have the real croc sandals (Nile) and the payless knockoff croc sandals.

The real crocs are a bit more cushy, but my feet sweat horribly in them. The payless version seems hard when you first put them on, but after your feet has warmed them they soften up and become very comfortable. I wear my payless version more then the real thing because my feet don't sweat in them and I find them to be a bit more comfortable.
 
We have a Payless 5 minutes away. I will have to go try a pair on. Thanks!:)
 
I bought the Payless Airwalk version because I couldn't find Crocs locally and prefer to try them on before buying. I am very happy with them! The day I bought them I put them on right away and wore them everywhere, even around the house. That night my bro and I took a 3+mile powerwalk and I wore them. My feet felt great! I am a runner and even have issues with my athetic shoes even when poweralking at times. The Payless kind made my feet feel great during and after the walk! I couldn't believe it! No sweating no nothing. Even walked on rocky terrain here and there. I will be bringing them to WDW.
 

I have 2 pair of the payless version and love them... wore them today at the museum dedication... standing/waiting/walking 5+ hours with no problems...
 
Thanks guys! I think I'm giong to hit my DH and DS up for 2 pairs with the BOGO offer for mothers day!
 
The Payless version is by Airwalk and they were hanging on a wall in a seperate area from the main shoes/sizes at our Payless. They were 14.99 and well worth it!
 
I have a pair of Croc Cayman's and a pair of Airwalks from Payless. I can put one of each foot and not tell the difference. I put them on in the dark one time and didn't know I had one pink and one tan until I got in the light!
Either way you go seems like a good choice. The Payless ones come in pink, light blue and black. Crocs come in many colors.
Good luck.

What color is the most popular?

On the payless website...they only show pink and blue in the 'airwalk'.
The croc website shows great color selection...LOVE the orange!
:cool1:
 
I have both, and to me the Crocs feel softer when you hold them in your hand, but when I wear them I can't tell any difference.
 
Unfortunately they don't have any that are small enough.
 
I just got my third pair. I have the real croc sandals (nile), the payless sandals in black and Friday I got a pair of the regular payless knock-offs in the light blue. They are sooooo comfortable that I don't want to take them off.. and I normally can't stand wearing shoes.

Ya gotta love a comfortable knock-off. ;)
 
Does anyone know if these Payless versions will "stretch" to the point that I wish I would have bought a half or a whole size smaller?

I know I have done this with other shoes. Just wondering.
 
I bought a whole size smaller in the payless version because they run big and they have molded to my foot and fit well...not to the point of overstretching. Hope this helps!
 
if possible could someone post a picture? I went onto the site but I can't tell the differance, I'm really interested in the comfy walking ones for the summer. I've got arthritus in my feet and I think these may work well, but I want to get the style that everyone says are like the crocs. Thank you, Kim
