Fiona you can get croc,s(fakes) in calangute top of the steps which lead down to the beach on the left hand side i bought a pair in bright blue with all pretty flowers over them i absolutly adore them they are the bees knees so comfortable,light weight, easy to keep clean and the whooooo factor is they only cost 425rps (£5) wish i had bought more in different colours. They have got the original ones but cost 1995rps(£25).

would you say they are as comfortable as the originals? My feet are terrible on holiday- they always seem to be twice their usual size for the first few days( and thats with wearing those lovely flight socks as well )

I accosted a poor lady in the shop the other night, as I glanced at her feet (I'm not weird, honest!) and she had on what I thought were crocs. I was right, and she confirmed they are 'comfy as anything'. They didn't look overly clumpy to me (she had red ones on), just about perfect in fact.

I think you probably feel as if they are huge when you first wear them in comparison to a normal pair of, say, flip flops but they do look good to me (this lady was pretty stylish).

So I must get some and stop freaking out total strangers in shops by going on about their footwear.

Ordered mine on March 30th,still not arrived.Will wait until Friday(14 days) and I will contact them.

I bought a pair of croc fakes (apple) at calangute crossroads in the 1st week of my holiday and hardly took them off! Only cost 450 rupees so also got OH a pair,he laughed at first,but after wearing them in the water at Baga he had to agree with me.

Fiona we looked at the orginals and tried them on, same weight the only difference i saw was the strap that goes round the back had the name of crocs on and the inside of the shoes on the fakes you have dimples and on the org they have a different pattern.We got our feet very sunburnt on the first day in goa and bought these crocs they were great my sil feet swell up in the heat like yours and she never took hers off (only to wash) you will love them take my word for it(before i bought them i thought they looked horrendous but after wearing them i could'nt have cared less what they looked like,infact i have them on now while typing this and ive just took the dog for a walk in them.Give them a try.

The non-original Crocs aren't as robust as Crocs, and the strap is thinner and doesn't hold it's shape as well. The non-Crocs would be fine for a holiday but I wouldn't wear them all the time as I do with my Crocs.

I also found that the non-Crocs made my feet sweaty whereas the Crocs don't.

thanks! I saw a black pair in town today- perhaps hubby might come round to that colour! But if they are comfy I'm wearing them!!

I think people look like Mr Men in the black ones!

Fiona, get yourself a pair of bright pink ones with loads of Jibbitz on them. I'm off to get the turquoise ones at the weekend to go with the pink, green, brown, purple and blue ones I've got. I'm sure they breed in the wardrobe - well, that's what I tell OH anyway. The good thing is he's lost track of the ones I've got so if I get another pair he doesn't realise!

you sound just like me BP "Oh that - I've had it ages, don't you remember it?". He just agrees then!

From what I've read the main difference in crocs is they have an 'anti microbial footbed'. Which means they don't allow germs and bacteria to breed - hence very suitable for hospital workers.

I presume fake ones will be very similar in looks and style.

So you are paying for the benefits to your feet and not just a name.

I tried a pair on yesterday - not only did they look huge they were huge!! But then I do have a slightly narrow foot.

Looking on one of the sites, the Cayman style is a less clumpy version of the beach shoe.

I had to send back the beach shoe as my foot felt as though it was floating in them. I've looked at the Caymen as they said it's a narrower version. Still undecided.

received my cayman crocs today, not sure i have got the right size has they feel very loose and bulky, i ordered size 5's, but on the sole it says 5M and 7W, does that mean i have got womens size 7's.

I read on a site which sells them that they shoudn't really touch your feet so maybe they are supposed to "float"?

Fiona

Does someone in Aberdeen sell them? Do you remember how much they were?

Please could someone advise me which is the best company to order crocs from on internet as there are so many. I want to buy several pairs for holiday in Goa next January and don't know where to start - styles, and reliable companies, what size do i order as am size 7 and broad foot?
Thanks

I was on a bus when it had stopped and I can't remember which shop it was- top end of Union Street though- Clarks maybe? or further up? I also noticed less bulky ones than I had seen in NO.

I ordered my Crocs (Caymans) off the internet on the 4th April (INVALID URL and they have been delivered today. I have had a size m7 w9 - which is the American sizing for mens 7 & womens 9, equivalent to UK sizing mens 7 and womens 7. I have had mine in the new seasons Sea Foam, whicn is a pale turquoise - very nice.
The Crocs have come with 2 free jibbits. They cost £29, P&P free, and there is a card with a code for 10% off my next order.

I have them on now and have to say, they don't look too bulky and are incredibly comfortable. I have swollen feet and ankles and manage to fit into them with ease. Can't wait to take them on holiday to see how they perform in the heat when my feet will be even more swollen. In fact, my mother was with me when the post came and she has tried them on and has asked me to order her a pair for around the house, and she's 70 so just going to order them and get my 10% off
