Not Croc-y Crocs?

[lobmcf]

I just bought 2 pairs of Crocs... has anyone owned a pair of either of these before? 1 pair is for my MNSSHP costume, the other I just plan to wear to work, but if they're decent, I might get another pair for our trip.

TIA!

I tried on the Kaydee at the Crocs outlet and thought they were really comfy. I've been wearing a very similar style (Jayna - http://www.crocs.com/crocs-jayna/11851,default,pd.html) to work for the last two weeks and I really love them.

I personally wouldn't wear a ballet flat-type Croc to the parks everyday. They would PROBABLY be fine, but I don't care what my feet look like at the parks so I'd go for regular Croc clogs or my Athens flip flops.

I wore "not croc-y crocs" at the park, and my feet loved me for them. I tried expensive walking shoes with "outstanding support", but my toes and arches were much happier in crocs. (I love "Alice" and "Cleo")

I have a pair very similar to the Kadee style, and I LOVE them. They really help your circulation in your legs, I don't know how I made it through work before I had these shoes.

I've always loved the super comfy Malindi style, which is similar to the style the OP bought. It looks like they are being discontinued, though. So, anybody that wears a size 11 is going to get an incredible deal!

Love non crocy crocs for the parks or I should say my feet do! I have the sandal type with 2 strips across the foot in both black and brown and a flip flop type as well. I prefer open toe but I think the ones you ordered are super cute. Like pp, I have tried other types of shoes in the parks and I prefer crocs. So do both my dd's.

This was the style I initially wanted! I was so bummed, because I am nowhere near a size 11

But I'm glad to hear the positive reviews! I don't intend to wear them every day, but I'd like to have an option other than sneakers or flip flops if I decide to wear a dress one day!

Hooray! Thanks everyone

I wore the crocband flats last June and they were awesome. I continued to wear them for the whole summer. I hated crocs with a passion, but these are actually cute flats with dresses and shorts. Lot's of compliments. Mine are in purple, but I see they only have brown in a size 11?? That's not cool, I wanted to order another pair in another color for this summer....

Now that I'm looking, I think I will order the crocband loafer in espresso/bubblegum!! ha, thanks!

I just purchased the Olivia style in RED! I thought they would be perfect for the water rides, they are a little cuter than flip flops, and the price was too good to pass up. I went through Ebates (5% cash back) and used a 20% off coupon which brought them down to $15.99 plus tax and shipping ($22 in total).

I have never tried a pair of Crocs on in my life -- I have always thought they were hideous. But, these are actually mildly cute for casual wear. My concern is that my feet will get extremely sweaty and "fart", and I am also worried that they won't fit! I measured my foot with a tape measure and I measured slightly over a size 7 but smaller than an 8 (I typically wear a 7.5 or 8 in shoes) according to their sizing, and they suggested to size down on this particular shoe. I hope they fit well! I will try and post a review of them when they arrive.

I have the Olivia style, and I wore them in the parks the entire week this past august. I had NO footpain, NO blisters! I loved them, and they looked really nice too! (Much better than that 'classic' croc-style look).

I have these shoes, and I have never had my feet fart while wearing them ALL day in Disney in August heat. If they did fart, I would never hear the end of it from my boys (including DH)

I am so happy to hear that your feet stay silent while wearing the Olivias! Do your feet sweat in them at all? It seems quite a few do say their feet get sweaty because there aren't a bunch of the holes in the top like many of the other Crocs styles. Assuming they fit me nicely, I will probably try using a spray antipersperant on my feet if I notice they get sweaty...I've heard that works pretty well!

Thank you! I wear a size 11 and I always seem to miss out on the awesome sales because places never have the larger sizes left by the time they put them on sale. I love the look of these and bought a pair in each color.

Great! I'm glad you could take advantage of that!
In my experience, this style seems to run true to size.

I've gotta say, crocs have come a long way in style!! Super cute

I'm considering getting some for travel because they're SO light weight... but I like to wear socks with my shoes when I'm on my feet all day. OMG they have SOOOO many styles now (looking on their website).

....someone stop me- I'm going to buy up the whole store....

I wore them last year and they were fantastic!

 

[hops&dreams]

I had the ballet flats (the Primas, they were the original ballet flat!) and they were super comfy. my feet did/do get hot in them, but I just slip them of for a min to let my feet "air out". I do notice though, that no matter how sweaty my feet get in them, they don't get stinky. In my TOMS, they get stinky - and FAST!

I now put Tea Tree Oil on my feet, between my toes, before I go sock-less. It's more natural, and I feel more effective, against stinky feet than spray antiperspirant or foot spray ever was.

I just ordered a pair of the "lavender" style. http://www.6pm.com/crocs-lavender-black
They should be delivered today or tomorrow. I can't wait to wear them!

Also, I have a friend who LIVES in the Malindi. She's a teacher and has them in at least 4 colors!

If you have a Crocs outlet near you, try going in there. They have "buy one get one free" or "buy one get one half off" sales a LOT. And it's always nice to try them on since the sizing can be tricky at times with these shoes. If you don't have a crocs outlet near you, try calling random ones to see if they'll ship to you. I find they sometimes have more selection or sizes available than the online store might. Worth a phone call, right? That's how I'm getting my hands on 2 pairs of the discontinued shoes (above.). Called a store in Texas that had them, got one pair half off or free (can't remember but it was only $30 for 2 pairs!), paid for them with a credit card, and got them shipped to me!

I love all the new style Crocs but have not tried them yet. I'm still attached to my Beach Crocs and the flip flops (Capri and Athens). I would never even consider wearing anything other than Crocs to Disney. They are so comfy and just great for water rapids or Splash Mountain or those occasional rain storms. No soggy feet. Love em. (The uncrocy crocs your picked are adorable!)

 

[seasideteacher]

Athena flip flops. BEST SHOE EVER. My feet never hurt with them!!

 

[crazy4veggies]

I have two pairs of the Malindis I got last year before going to Universal. I've also worn them to several comic conventions, etc. They're very comfy, but I do seem to trip in them sometimes, but I'm pretty clumsy anyway, so that's probably just me
