you can find crocs just about anywhere now. Our Dillards sells them as well as sporting goods stores. A couple of stores in our mall also sell limited styles. To see all they have go to the crocs.com site there are sooo many styles and the prices are the same just about everywhere.
As for socks, this winter I have been wearing socks with them and when I wear the regular crocs style (clog) I need socks in the summer because they make my feet sweat like crazy. I wear no show ones the same color as the crocs and I think they are very comfortable that way. Open toe/sandle type no socks needed. I think it is better to wear socks when you first get your crocs during the 'break in' period once you get used to them then you can go with or without.
