Ive just bought myself a pair of mock crocs from TJ Hughes for £4!They are hurting my toes so I am off tomorrow to get a bigger size.I will treat myself to a real pair if I get used to them.

I really don't like the non-Crocs, they hurt my feet and make them smell! They don't mould around your foot like Crocs do and the strap isn't as robust.

I've got my new Turquoise Crocs with Disney Jibbtz ready for Orlando :D
so can't wait for the holiday!

They had some mock crocs on our market today for a fiver, and some really nice croc-style shoes with sparkly "jibbitz" already attached - I might get some tomorrow, was in a rush today to get to Parents Evening and didn't have time to go to the cash machine then back to the market for the shoes, but if I get them tomorrow I'll take a photo and post it on here.

Primark have some croc-style flip-flops, I think they were £3, very similar two-colour design to the real thing (Athens style HERE), they had them in 3 different colourways (none of which matched any of my carefully co-ordinated beachwear) and they were very light and looked very comfortable :wink:

my sister got a pair of those athens lookalikes from primark and has just come back from a week holiday, she said they were really comfy and she hardly took them off.

I saw in a mag that BHS does looky likeys but they aren't mega cheap. £15 as opposed to £25 for the kids disney style.

What's going on? Are crocs taking over the world?? I don't even have any (yet) and I think I'm becoming obsessed. Yesterday I was out shopping and found myself "croc-spotting"! Came home and watched crocs on holiday video :rofl

Had a dream about not being able to walk properly in coco the clown sized red crocs last night and spotted two toddlers wearing them on the school run this morning!

I have to buy a pair, and soon.

I noticed last week that Paul O'Grady's assistant (the big guy) on his teatime show was wearing navy blue crocs. They looked like they needed a good clean as well. :D

I was Croc spotting at Sharm Airport last week and saw a few pairs.

I'm loving this thread. :D I imagine you all sitting at your computers wearing your Crocs. I'm gonna try and order myself a pair of the kids caymens as I am only a size three then I can join you. Just got to wait for the colour I want to come back in stock.

I'm sitting here in my lovely cool crocs

My daughter has had a pair of cotton candy prima crocs - which are like a flat pump style shoe, she loves them and says they're really light and comfortable.

Don't really think socks would be a good idea in the summer :shock: :lol:

I'm sorry to say this but I think they look clumpy and really uncomfortable. I have seen people wering them on holiday but no where else and I haven't spotted any in any local shops. Are they leather or plastic?
Where off to Beni soon so may see some "copies" may try some on to see what all the fuss is about.

Had to laugh at the Crocs on Holiday video :lol:

I am thinking of getting some crocs for my hols as we are going to the northern side of the dominican republic and I think they will be handy for the beach obviously, but also for using in the sea as I believe there is a fair amount of coral.
Can anyone tell me how the sizes come up. I have quite a wide foot and if I buy wide fitting shoes like Evans take a 7 but sometimes need an 8 to accomodate for the width in a cheaper shoe. I'm probably going to buy on the internet which is why I won't be able to try them on.
Thanks for the help............

Hi Karrie. They are generously sized. I have wide feet and I normally never know whether I will be okay with a 5 or have to go to a 5.5 or 6. Crocs in 5s are perfect for me and roomy as they should be (they are roomy but they stay on, something to do with the design!).

You should be just fine with the 7.

I got some lovely "mock-croc" style shoes from the market today for a fiver :D They're not like any style of proper crocs, but they're the same lightweight design, but made to be a bit "dressier" - I've uploaded some pics:

Photos are a bit "big" and will take a while to load... :oops:

Been wearing them since I came home and they're so comfortable!!! :D
Not sure how long they'll last, being cheap and all, so I may go back and get another pair to put away for our August holiday, I can't see myself wanting to take these off again now :roll:
