OT: Difference between Crocs Athens and Capri??

[disneysnowflake]

I have 2 pair of Athens already (pearl/orange and choc/pink).
I love the Athens. I can wear them all day.

I thought I'd try a pair of Capri, but at $40 I wasn't sure if they were as comfortable as the Athens.

Does anyone have both styles? Do you like your Capri?

Thanks for any advice you can give me.

The Athens line has all the Crocs material, including the strap while the Capri has a micro fiber upper.

Personally, I'm not a big fan of the strap between the toe, so I don't own either, but I'm guessing they are both pretty comfy.

I own both. They are both comfortable, but the Athens holds your foot in better, where the Capri's footbed is more flat.

I prefer my Capri's because they look sleeker. I actually got the men's Cretes because they were out of my size in the color I wanted for the Capri's. I chose an all-black, which has been very useful, and probably more wearable than the multi-colored. The Crocs customer service person told me they were the same thing, and basically the Cretes just go higher in size. I'm lucky that a woman's 9 is a 7 in men's, b/c I believe that's as small as the men's Crocs go.

I'm a neutral-colored Crocs wearer.

I've got both and I think they are equally as comfortable. I prefer the look of the Capri style. I just wore my Capris through a week of touring Southern California and they were great!

I was going to ask the same thing. I tried on some Athens at Academy Sports the other day and they seemed pretty bulky for flipflops. I think I like the look of the Capri's better, but wondered if they were more comfortable than regular non-Croc flipflops. Hope to find a deal on some before my Disney trip.

Thanks. I got a pair of Capri in the Charcoal/Sea Foam combo. I can't wait to get them.
