Crocs

[Dizneemad]

Not sure if this has been posted, just been to our local Sports Direct store and they have a wide range of crocs in for £15.
But they also have the Disney Crocs in depending on the size for £7 or £12.
So nicely stocked up for the next couple of trips.

I heard Crocs were in BIG trouble and possibly going into receivership. Has anybody else heard that??

Hope not - they are my daughters absolute favourite shoes and I will be visiting sports direct for a supply - thanks for the thumbs up

I hope not too - got the sports shop local to us too - great bargains. It's a shame but they are expensive normally and not many shops stock them so it's not surprising really. they are my fav shoe by far i have 4 pairs!

 

[tracipierce]

I got 2 pairs for myself the other day from sports direct, they also have them on their website! Got 2 pairs of Disney ones for dd7 and a pair for dd17 as well! And all this after vowing I would never be seen dead in a pair I must say they are growing on me now, and anything that will keep my feet comfy whilst walking around the parks can't be a bad thing

Me and DD both got a pair of crocs flip flips from Sports Direct - just breaking them in ready for next week!
My Disney crocs are a bit low on tread after 3 years

I can't see why the Crocs company would be in trouble - there are plenty of us still buying them in bulk. I've bought from SportsDirect (GREAT PRICE) and started a thread on the community board about the lack of jibbitz to fit the Disney crocs.

Yes, I heard this too. About a week or so ago it was reported on Yahoo News that they have until September to consolidate their debts or they will go bust. I used this as an excuse to buy 7 new pairs in the Sports Direct sale.

Here are some links discussing the financial bother they are in:

Can I just ask a crocs related question? Are you able to wear them as water shoes on the slides at the water parks or not?

I have bought my first pair for our upcoming trip and would really like to ditch my old water park shoes if this is an option.

 

[dolphingirl47]

Yes, you can (at least any style with back straps). This is how I ended up with my very first pair of Crocs. I needed some water shoes for Discovery Cove, because my old pair were worn out. In November nobody seemed to stock water shoes so I bought a pair of Crocs instead. I have not looked back since. I have also worn my Crocs at Blizzard Beach with no problems at all.

They do also stock a supply of Disney jibbets for 99p. If you look there are some bagged sets with 2 in for the same price as a single. As mentioned these do struggle to stay in the Disney Croc's. The new version of jibbit's selling in Disney have a larger back to keep them in, should be no problem in modifying the ones at Sports direct.

Thanks a lot for that info!! Have just ordered my 4th pair from them.

 

[Gooldy]

Thanks for the info, popped along today got my DD two pairs for Oct, £15 for the crocs and £5 for a pair of cali from sketchers, great price what a bargain!

We too had heard they were in financial difficulties BUT I love them I just bought another pair of them flip flop ones, or are they now HavianasI bought them a size bigger than my usual size and love them. They were from Next £15 in chocolate and candy pink. That now takes me up to three pairs of Crocs They are just so comfy if any of you are having any trouble with your Crocs rubbing on your bare feet just use a little smear of Vaseline in the part of your foot that's rubbing (as long as it's not on the sole) and it should feel much better.

Hi there,

Does anyone know if the Crocs shop at Premium Outlets is still open? I went there last year in Dec and bought a couple of pairs; and was planning on doing the same when we go in 23 days!(and counting)
Thanks,
Jules x

The Crocs shop is still there - got some for the little 'un for 5 dollars the other night, which in my opinion are all they are worth.

Look nice on kids - daftest thing I have ever seen on an adult with the possible exception of a Sheffield United shirt.

It is possible to be comfortable and not look very silly!

Hi again,
I buy the flip flops, and also have a fab pair (which are so comfortable), called cleo. (No I don't name my crocs because I love them so much, which is what that reads like! That's the style name)

Thanks for that anyway, will have to stop off there when we arrive!

 

[howlongtillsummer?]

Thank you very much OP. I just got a pair for myself and my daughter. Sadly they didn't have the disney ones in my size, her's are though!

I would never even have considered this if it hadn't been for your post so thanks for the magic.

 

[Dizneemad]

Just pleased that I was able to help someone.
You can purchase them on line also so may be worth a look if you are after some for yourself.

 

[howlongtillsummer?]

I got myself a lilacy pair. I have been running around the house in them!! DH thinks I have totally lost it!! I also went on ebay and bought a pack of the jibbitz (for my daughter.....really!!!!!!!!!!) They were about £6 for 20 and are all disney ones (of course!!)

Best wishes
