Crocs with socks?

[Mrs. Charming]

That's one great thing about being happily settled and over-the-hill . . . not giving a hoot is just so darn liberating!

Hear, hear!!

I just got my new Disney Crocs in the mail the other day. I got a pair for youngest DD too.
My know it all 18 yr old DDs just groaned! LOL

Prior to our trip in April, I had read about people swearing by their Crocs in the parks. I couldn't imagine it but I thought I'd give it a try. The first day I wore sneakers. My feet and legs ached. The next day I figured that I would try the Crocs (with socks...it was cold). Unbelievable!!! I could've walked many more miles. No pains in my legs or feet. I am such a believer.

I am a Croc socker and proud of it.....and it helps to humiliate my kids LOL

Plastic shoes + sweaty feet - socks = foot funk

Go with the socks!

NOOO why would you even consider wearing socks with crocs the air wholes to keep cool so why wear socks that make them warm

i read that if you put your crocs in tumble dryer just till they are warm then wear them till they cool they will take inprint of your foot

Crocs are dorky enough as it is; I would not worry that adding socks would make it a fashion risk.

Honestly, your comfort is most important and considering you will be be in WDW, I don't think there is anything for you to worry about.

If it will make you feel better, I saw a lady wearing red shorts, a purple shirt and orange crocs and nobody was pointing and laughing at her.

Interesting tip about the foot imprint!

Socks: Just as a Disney Cast Member told me last year, even those who wear Crocs all the time have a very difficult time with the heat and humidity and rain at WDW - wet or sweaty feet do not dry in tropic humidity the way they do, say, at a beach in less humid weather, even with the holes.

The Cast Member told me that after speaking with a ton of people, the secret to staying comfortable seems to be wearing Crocs with socks while at Disney.

What I did was carry a pair with me and put them on if I felt I needed them, which I did!

Want to know what happens when you wear Disney Crocs with no socks? OK, I'll tell you...you get a bunch of Mickey shaped tanned images on the tops of your feet.

Then you might have to (like I did) explain to your podiatrist what those weird shaped, almost florescent, mouse head marks are on your feet and you can get some very strange looks.

That is the absolute truth, but, seriously I like wearing them without socks but they actually hurt my feet over extended periods of time without them. Those ridges cut into the bottoms and my feet sweat like crazy. So, fashion or no fashion, it is Crocs with Socks for me.

I agree about extended period of time in Crocs being hard on your feet. I've had Crocs for several years(including the ones) and loved them--mostly without socks. However, I found that being on my feet in Crocs for 10-12 hours or more at WDW was a bad idea. I suggest alternating with some good walking shoes that give your feet some support for a few hours each day.

As for the sock issue, I'll agree with what the others said. When you're a 43 year old man chasing down a 5 foot mouse for a pic and an autograph, socks are the least of your worries

OP, wear the socks. Honestly, I think good dry socks are almost as important as great supportive shoes in WDW.

I'm so glad I jumped into this thread -- I never would have expected to get so many laughs with a bunch of folks discussing Crocs with socks!

This group is a party waiting to happen!

We'd need special dance floor . . . have you ever walked or danced on a dance floor in Crocs? Or power walked on a gym floor? I don't know how the heck you can trip over a perfectly flat floor, but in Crocs, it's treacherous!

Okay, okay, off topic, I know, I know.

Mainly, I just wanted to say how much fun all of you are.

 

[ilovejsparrow]

I don't think I would ever do the croc/sock thing.. but I've seen waaaaay worse at WDW. Go right ahead

 

[arcticdisneylovers]

I am wearing those exact Crocs right now.... with white socks
They are so comfortable I wear them around the house everyday. I can't wear them outside here because I live in the arctic but when we go "down south" I wear them everywhere, with socks. As long as you're comfortable who cares what it "looks" like. At least you won't be hobbling along in agony as you try to enjoy Disney

I found that if I put a pair of Superfeet Insoles in my Beach Crocs (I use the blue, all-purpose insoles), it corrects my walking posture and gives greater ankle support.

Laughed out loud at the pic and autograph comment.

Brilliant thread

I was persuaded to join my Croc loving family and purchased my first pair of Crocs for our summer WDW trip.
After a day of blisters I went for the sock option
I still have the scars from that day.

My family tell me I must be the only person ever to need socks and put it down to my strange feet

 

[henrylovespooh]

When it's cold, I wear socks with my Crocs. Don't think twice about it. I will never do WDW without them again - haven't had a sore foot since I started wearing them there.

[Searching4Neverland]

Uhm. Fashion suicide. Don'tdoit!

 

[TimandTanya]

I bought some black socks with Mickeys all over them. DW says she wants a pair now. If we are going to commit fashion suicide, may as well do it with style.
