Just picked up some 'Crocs' lookalikes from local shoeshop, without trying them on :duh only to discover they are huge!!!!! Can anyone tell me do you have to buy them a couple of sizes smaller than norm?

I know I can try the exchanges on when I take these back, but I would like to know now if other people have had the same problem? :que

Thanks guys

I have 7 pairs(mock)and bought my shoe size.I recently tried on the mule type with the glittery beads on and even a larger size was two small!Strange as I bought 2 pair of these last year and just bought my shoe size.
If you put a pair of sponge innersoles in them they are ultra comfy :D

I got some from Asda last year and they were huge but they were only available in 3/4, 5/6, 7/8 etc.

I take a size 6 and my various (pretend) Croc's are sizes 4, 5 and 6.
(The size 6 being from what used to be Poundstretcher, can't remember the name of it now...)

I think Crocs are supposed to be worn big, but I don't like that, I feel like I am walking in flippers! :rofl

I had a feeling I'd need 4/5 although I take 6 in shoes, as the 6's were like boats. I intend wearing them in the sea on hols, as the resort we are going to is a bit stoney at the beach, and thought they would dry quicker than the water daps we bought last year, we had to dump them at the end of hols, because they stunk, :yikes and we couldn't put them in our case to come home. The only thing I'm worried about is if I get the wrong size croc style, they may float away when I'm swimming, :( so I'd rather them a bit smaller cos I don't think I'll have them on that long, although people say once you've tried them you won't want to take them off! :rofl

They are apparently supposed to feel loose by design but yet they don't fall off (when you capsize in the middle of the biggest rapid on the Dalaman river whilst white water rafting I can assure you that they do fall off - however the floated down the river and were rescued by another raft at a calmer place :) ).

I bought fake crocs for my grandchildren for this years holiday to Turkey. They were a real success at the beach, they just walked into the sea with them on. Just washed them off at the showers on the beach on the way back. Excellent buy!!!! Denny

mu mum bought a cheapy pair in her size ( 4) and they fit my dad !! lol
he wears a size 9 usually !

i really dont like the look of crocs on adults ( esp decorated ones!) fine for kids though IMO
am more keen on the Prima ballet type ones though ( but only for holiday not all yr round lol)

Hi Rachie B,
We got the crocs we needed eventually :tup loads of sizes smaller than we take in shoes.
I also like Prima style shoes, but wouldn't wear them in the water as pebble protectors, that's all we'll be wearing our crocs for, although I beleive they are really comfi, and some people wear them all day. I could have done with them on some hols when my feet have swollen so much, I can't get anything on them :cry

Just bought a pair of Black/Black sassari crocs ( wedges ), looked for them for weeks all over the internet, the only places that sold them, were in America and somewhere in Europe, and guess what, found them on sale in my local Edward Meeks shoe shop :rofl , they look really stylish and look great with Jeans or skirts, plus really comfy. Got 4 pairs of crocs now, can never have to many. ;)

Just got fake Crocs by Champion in JJB sports- really nice, pink with white flowers on and a bargain at £4.99! Never had then before and as everyone says they are just so comfortable.

Pam :)

Well I think they are a dying breed, I havn't seen half as many as I did last year and I've reverted back to flip flops, well till I go rockpoolong anyway. :)

I've seen lots more of the cheaper ones this year - in some great colours too.
( Got some lovely bronze ones for £2.99 )

I'm not so keen on the ones with the decorations now though, because my
Ma in law has them, and for obvious reasons, I don't want to have the same
stuff as her.

greatuniversal has the cayman crocs for 15 quid incase anyone is looking.

Best buy this summer Champion pumps made of same material as crocs. Buy them at JJB Sports at £4.99. They are the most comfortable shoes ever, but if you buy them online they charge £ 4.95 postage---a real rip-off.
