Quick Disney Crocs Question

[joolz1910]

Hi everyone, can you get jibbitz to fit the Disney crocs? I ask because the Mickey head holes seem to be too big for the regular jibbitz. My DD was not impressed that her Lilo and Jasmine jibbitz were wobbling about in her new crocs.

Unfortunately Jibbitz don't fit Disney Crocs and there are no special Jibbitz for them. I know when I bought some Disney Jibbitz at our Croc shop last year, the pointed out to me that they are not suitable for use with Disney Crocs.

Thanks for that Corinna.

We've lost jibbitz in the past as we put them in Disney Crocs

My Mum was quite cross about this actually, she spent quite a lot of money buying the girls some Disney Crocs in EPCOT and the CM helped show the girls all the princess jibbitz that were available and being the generous Grandma she is she bought them the full set each, total bill over $120 dollars. Not once did the CM say that they weren't suitable. The girls were so disappointed when they started losing jibbitz. A few days later I asked a CM at world of Disney who confirmed they weren't suitable

How annoying. My DD lost her 'princess' jibbit and was quite upset. Disney is missing a gap in the market here...

it souldn't be too difficult to make them fit either madness !!

They are definitely missing a trick there. Still, this could be entirely academical very soon. Apparently the company that makes Crocs has until September to consolidate their debts or they are gone. Personally I fear it might be the second option. Hence the big spending spree on Crocs.

Wow !!! too many cheap imitations on the market

I think it will be a shame if that happens Corinna - I love my Cleos and live in them (when the sun actually bothers to shine) so would desperately miss them if I couldn't get them any more

I hadn't heard that, it is a shame.

There are aren't there?!? I can tell the difference a mile off and personally wouldn't buy them.

I love Crocs for my girls, they are so easy to wear and wash.
However, I'm not the biggest fan of regular crocs for adults but do have a pair or Cleos and they are very comfy, I have to say they are my garden shoes now but perhaps I'll buy a new pair if they're not going to be around for much longer.

When my Mom bought some Disney crocs in Epcot, the CM said that you could use Jibbitz with them but you have to put them in the "head" part of the hole and then they stay there - mom had had hers for 3 years now and never lost any jibbitz off them either.

There definitely are and that is a problem for two reasons: people who see Crocs look alikes for GBP5 are probably not inclined to spend GBP30 for the real thing. Also, having worn the check knock offs, they probably had sweaty, smelly feet and even might have got themselves a fungal infection. After that experience, people would be less likely to buy another pair of plastic shoes.

I would really miss them. I have had trouble with my feet for years and they are one of very few shoes that I can wear without being in pain or getting blisters.

Here are some links that are discussing the financial bother they are in:

My friend brought me some flashing tinkerbell jibbitz back from Las Vegas and they have stayed in my crocs. They are about double the size of the normal jibitz.

I will so miss my crocs.
