New Crocs Flip Flops

[MNfamilycruiser]

I'm going to the world in May and I'm looking for comfy shoes to wear I have wide feet and Crocs sound great but I have a stupid questions. What are the made out off? They look like rubber. Do your feet get sweaty in them? What size should I order I wear a 6 1/2 to 7? Thanks Nancy

Could anyone answer about the sweaty feet? My dd has sweaty feet and last summer had a real problem with her cheap Target sandals. She is supposed to be wearing natural materials - like Birkenstocks - but I wondered if the Crocs would work for her?

Which style are you referring to? I have three pairs of Beach Crocs in all different colors and the closed toe (I think it is the Aspen) for work.

I also have very sweaty feet and find that all Crocs styles are wonderful. If you are looking for summer shoes or shoes for a Disney trip, go with the Beach style. This shoe is the original style and has an amazing ventilation system on the sides, top, and toe area. She will not have a problem with these. The air flows right through; it is like A/C for your feet!

As a side note, I have not worn any other shoe (literally - work, play, etc.) since I bought my first pair a few months ago. When we go to Disney in December, I am only packing my Crocs.

Thank you! I will try them for her this summer - if they work well - we will get pairs for Disney (end of Nov.)

where can you get these for the best price?

I bought mine at Island Surf They had free shipping, making them $32. I bought Athens in black in a WOMENS size 8 (I normally wear an 8.5). They're a little long on me, but I went to Dick's Sporting Goods and tried on a 7 and my foot was hanging over the side a bit. Also, the toe bar is a little thicker than my foot is used to. I'm not sure I'd wear them to the parks, but I wore them all day at work yesterday (even our publisher wears flip flops and rides a scooter to work) and didn't have a problem.

I tried on a pair of the Athens at the mall on Saturday and I was sooooooooo disappointed! I love flip flops and wanted these to be wonderful like my Caymans but they just weren't! The toe post was very hard and had a sharp seam that rubbed my second toe just walking around the store. Oh well... Glad I didn't order them without trying on! I'll keep looking for comfy sandals or flips for my July trip.

I found the Croc Flip Flops at the Hallmark Store in Oklahoma.

I can't wait until April 18th. That is my birthday and I am going to go a buy a pair. They have them at a huge sporting goods store here. I wear flip flops 24/7.

Has anyone every had plantar faschiitis surgery and worn crocs? I had the surgery and was wondering IF crocs would be right for me.

I'm definitely a flip flop fan so I purchased Athens at MCO airport store. I have to admit I really like them. Very well cushioned!

Anyone tried the Crocs Nile sandals? They look cute, but I was wondering if anyone has had any personal experience with these.

I'm a big, big Crocs fan and wear them all summer long. I just spotted the flip-flop style in Von Maur yesterday and swooped up a pair of the blue/white ones. They are amazing...like walking on a cloud. For me, they are even better than my Beach or Cayman pairs because my feet are so much more exposed (I like this). I love wearing flip-flops and I love Crocs- a match made in heave.

BTW- At Von Maur they had black, khaki/black, pink/green, blue/white- all were 30. a pair in came in whole sizes.

I have a pair of the Nile & they are very comfy.(I wore them after the 1/2 marathon when my feet didnt want anything on them ) I am going to get another color soon. REI.com has them on sale for 19.95 I am hoping to get by Dicks this week & try the flip flop ones.

Thanks for the REI tip. I ended up buying some of the Athens flip flops. I didn't know that they made them for kids! I ordered some for my DD4 and for myself today on the Crocs website. Also, they have XXXL and XXXL sizes in the Beach Crocs. My DH found that the XXL was too small for him (yes, he has big feet! ) I ordered some of those in the XXXL for him.

Would you reccomend them for men? My khaki Beachs don't cross the odd border but I'm not sure about these.

And the person who had plantar faschiitis problems, I'm not an expert at all, but I think they would be okay. Can you return them if you order online?

Did you know they make flip flop socks too? Check this out.

Question to those that own a pair of the Croc Niles, can you remove the heel strap??

I think the flip flops (Athens II) come in whole sizes. I ordered the size I normally would wear and they fit fine. I bought the Khaki/blue ones and wish I would have gotten one of the wilder color combinations. I have only wore them around the house a couple of times but they seem comfie. I don't have feet problems when I'm in WDW so I guess that's why I can't get too excited about them. I ordered them online after looking in about every shoe and sporting goods store in the Chicagoland market.

Athens II...I thought they just had the original Athens. So does Crocs have 2 types of flip flops now? Has the piece b/t the toes given anyone blisters?

Where did you get them at MCO airport. They don't sell the flops around here and I want to try them on before I buy them.
