Hi Narial, I'm afraid it's the Caymans for me. The others just don't look Crocs enough! I do like the look of the off-roaders though...

I wear mine with socks when it's a bit breezy, but I have jeans on so you can't see them. I wear socks with my Crocs to go to the airport and take my socks off at the other end. Warm feet in the UK winter, cool and fresh in the sun! I love wearing Crocs on the plane as my feet don't swell as much.

I've just returned from a week in Turkey ... no crocs of any sort on the markets there ... but they were fantastically comfy for visiting rocky remains such as Ephesus, Pergamon and Troy, and then for battling pavements of towns and the beaches nearby! No one expressed any comment on their size on my feet. WONDERFUL ... especially when my feet swelled up in the heat.

Well I was at the Metro centre this morning and walked into a shop that was selling them, soooooooooo, I tried some on.Just had to see what all the fuss was about. My god, they made my feet look like boats and thoses bobbles on the insoles hurt my feet, they just wern't for me, even the toe post design were uncomfortable.

I'll just stick to my flip flops :lol: :lol: :lol:

In Soccer World today I saw some Sketcher crocs in black and brown as well as light colours.They looked better than the mock crocs and real crocs,not so bulky.I also saw some in Shoe zone with less holes in.I am off to a big market on Saturday and hoping they will have the ones that Cyberspacecadet has bought!.

Well, they're still going strong! Daughter has forbidden me to wear them outside the house - she thinks they're "minging", but that doesn't mean I haven't worn them all over the place while she's out at school all day :wink: although I thought it best not to embarrass her by wearing them at Parents Evening last week :lol:
I have to say they were fantastic during the warm weather last week - but I haven't worn them much this week while it's been raining most days.

Went past Soccer World/Sports World today and never thought of looking in there for them - I'll pop in on Friday if I get time.
I ended up getting the fake Primark flip-flop style ones last week, had a sudden urge to fill my basket with all things hot pink for my August holiday, so in went the hot pink/red ones... They are very comfy too :D

I bought some of the pink flip flop type at Primark-Metro Centre on Sunday and they are great,never been able to wear toeposts before.Wearing them around the house and no rubbing so far.

There is a barrow in one of the malls at the Metro Centre selling crocs, although they are called something else, but they still look identical and a lot cheaper.
Cyber, got to agree with your daughter, re: "minging" :lol: Sorry :?

That's OK - I don't think much of her "phat" "sik" Missy Elliot trainers either :lol:

I saw a woman in town this morning and she was wearing one bright pink croc and one bright yellow :shock: Do you think this was deliberate or not :D

Still waiting for delivery of my wedge Crocs which I've ordered off e-bay. I'll let you know as soon as they arrive.

After reading all your posts about Crocs, I've just ordered Prima, Mary Jane and Beach from Taylor Shoes in America! They look soooo weird that they've got to be comfy. :hyper
Hope they arrive in time for my hols though :!:

I bought some more today in Asda for £5.They are Navy blue and dont look as big as the bright colours.

Went out on Saturday for a meal with friends and two out of eight were wearing them.

I think with the right clothes they look OK and not too 'minging' :rofl (such a good teen word)

These were being worn poking out under wide-leg jeans with pretty smock tops. It seemed like a good look to me, but some people carry these things off better than others. When I finally get mine I'm sure people will be going 'what was she thinking?' :oops:

Love my Crocs and so does my 3 yr old son so I just bought a black pair for my hubbie from Office today for our hols in June - he says he thinks they are 'minging' too, however I heard him say a guy at his work was singing their praises : so I have a pressie for him when he comes home!!
:lol:
