I brought my three boys some cheap ones for when we go camping and the grass is damp in the mornings, as it means we don't have to take their wellies. Alsogot them for beach as the beach we visit most is Brighton and stoney. Asked daughter (15) if she wanted some. OH NO she'd never be seen dead in them. So fineher choice justbrought the boys. Took them toSpain with us during Easter break. Daughter lived in her brothers shoes as they was SO comfy and could I get her pair PLEASE!!!!
The cheap ones came up much bigger as son 1 is a 6 he's wearing a 5, son 2 is a 7 he's got a 6 tho both of them could probably have gone a size smaller. Son 3 is a size 4 and his crocs are a 2.

Deanna, the mock crocs are very inexpensive, the brand-name crocs are about $40 Cdn here so I should think about 20 pounds, I've paid less than $9.00 for mock Crocs. I should also add, they do tend to be a bit wide, I have very narrow feet, with Lumps & bumps on top, but they fit very comfortably even being a bit wide. The depth is good for me.

I had to look them up to see what you were all talking about....

I love them.... they look so comfortable and easy to wear.

I have 'sick' feet and they are now very wide. I have to wear *cosyfeet* which are expensive, but worth every penny if they are comfortable.
They often are not. Not the shoes fault, but my feet.

do they do these CROC's in wide fitting and how much would I expect to pay??

Thank you.

I bought a white pair to wear at work, but in short order they were banned because the heel is a bit exposed and there is a risk of injury from things or liquids falling through the holes on top.
I still have them and now they are my gardening shoes, too soiled to wear anywhere else, but so comfy - have had several ops on my feet and find it hard to find any shoes that fit. and are comfy.
They are ugly yes, but for me very comfortable. All the children have them and they have been an absolute Godsend for my (autistic) granddaughter Sarah, she can put on her own shoes when she wears the crocs. her fav pair are the lime green ones!!!!

Sorry, I think they are the ugliest thing invented for feet and like Lorraine they remind me of beach shoes.

I have started wearing them and love them. I bought some winter ones and they were great as all our downstairs are stone flooring and normal slippers dont last. I am a size 5 and mine are 6-7 : uk 4-5 and the winter ones are 7 - uk 5.
I was lucky enough to get mine in Canada and were half the UK price, so will stock up again next year.

what a picture these posts pull up lol
especially you wearing jelly beans Lorraine, I used to know them as jellies!

I am tempted to try a pair of crocs, maybe the toepeg ones tho as they are my favourite style of summer shoes, can't wear ankle strap shoes as they hurt my feet and it is getting harder by the day to bend down and do up the straps etc.
I like something I can just slip my feet into but as I take an 8, sometimes the shoes look more like boats lol

they remind me of when we were kids

my mum was a single parent so we where a bit hard up she used to send us to school in jelly beans, im sure they are comfy but its just the flash backs of plastic shoes .

They're also available in black which are easier to get away with.

Lorraine I am the first to admit they are not pretty .... but have you worn a pair?

When your feet are in heaven I can assure you - the appearance goes out the window. Ok I jazzed mine up with fish and stuff but they are sooo comfy moreso than birkenstocks!

Wear my designers for work but come the weekends its comfy time!!
