Jibbitz and Disney Crocs? Are the Mickey holes too big?

[CathrynRose]

Alright - ALRIGHT!! I admit it!!!

I own Crocs..

FINE - I own Disney Crocs too. And I just this afternoon bought Disney JIbbitz to go along with those Disney Crocs!

Now that Ive got that off my chest,.....

Anyone used Jibbitz in the Mickey Hole'd Crocs? Are those holes too big?

Man - I have a WEEEEEK before I "pick up my boss at the airport" AKA Suprise my son with a Disney trip and Im thinking about whipping those babies out while waiting for the plane!

So - are they too big? Anyone got any and willing to test for me??

From what I have read on others post they do seem to pop-out easier then the regular crocs.

I am a big fan of Reef flipflops and I wear those everytime I go to disney.

from the Jibbitz website:

NOTE: Disney Crocs have larger ventilation holes and are not compatible with Jibbitz

 

[OK!]

Having never worn Jibbitz, I've got a question--does the back come off of them (like a pin back comes off of a pin), or is it all one piece that you just pop into the hole? If the back comes off, I'd think it'd be pretty easy to modify them so that they fit correctly in the holes. All you'd have to do is maybe take a piece of something like craft foam (or something sturdier but still thin) that's bigger than the hole and then put it between the back of the Jibbitz and the underside of the hole, if that makes sense, so that you couldn't easily pull the Jibbitz out of the hole. Even if the back part of the Jibbitz doesn't detach, you could probably do some kind of modification on that same idea and make it work.

Geez, I've been working in a craft store for too darned long.

I think that would work even though the new ones don't come apart.

You could use a standard hole punch and then stretch the foam piece over that backing then slide it into the Mickey hole and you would be set. i think it would hold it a bit tighter on the shoe as well.

I, for one, am glad youve worked at a craftstore for so long!! Great idea's - im going to check out my craft store and see what I can come up with!

Thanks!

Yup - they pop out. What a bummer. Enjoy your trip anyway

How about hot gluing them onto barrettes or something? Hot glue can fix anything!

Sweet - you got it! Thanks!!!!
