For the past two days, I have been wearing my Mary Jane style black Crocs.

They are like this cgi.ebay.com/CROCS-MARY-JANES-PINK-7-NEW-ADULT_W0QQitemZ110157396660QQihZ001QQcategoryZ63889QQssPage NameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem
but black.

Soooo comfy!

And you were so rude about them...

Spidermama · 10/08/2007 21:32

Nice of you to come clean. I already had you busted on another thread.

Welcome to the righteous path. You will look back to the dark side no more.

They look, well perhaps 'nice' is too strong but they certainly don't look too bad at all when you consider how comfortable and practical they are.

purplemonkeydishwasher · 10/08/2007 21:34

why did you buy them? if you were rude about them i mean

expatinscotland · 10/08/2007 21:34

I'm really liking hte Mary Janes ones more than the Cayman ones, which have been consigned to house only duty.

They're a much slimmer profile and dead comfy.

DD1 is practically living in hers this summer - she has Caymans and Mary Janes ones (thanks, Mama! I know how hard it was for you to buy these because you think they look awful!).

expatinscotland · 10/08/2007 21:35

I asked for them, purple. I never bought them. They're a rip off here .

But for a while I went off them.

But I saw the light.

purplemonkeydishwasher · 10/08/2007 21:42

my mom keeps threateneing to bring some over for DS.

expatinscotland · 10/08/2007 21:48

They look so cute on kids, purple!

He'll love 'em.

DD1 has trouble dressing herself, so she loves her Crocs because she can slip them on and off her feet.

Tell her to bring some across!

My mother sent ours with a note that read, 'Against my better judgement, I am complying with your wishes. But I think these draw attention to the feet and not in a good way. Love, Mama'.

I found that so funny I kept it.

OP posts:

Spidermama · 10/08/2007 21:51

Very funny and just what I'd imagine expat's mum might say.

bran · 10/08/2007 21:51

I don't fancy the Mary-Janes at all, but I found myself looking at these recently and wondering if they wouldn't be too bad, especially in chocolate.

Perigrine · 10/08/2007 21:53

I knew you would be unable to resist the DARK SIDE HAHAHHAHA

And I agree, I could only ever wear MJ, they look much more petite on your feet!

expatinscotland · 10/08/2007 21:55

Oooo, I like those, bran.

I love how Mama looks at me with those pursed lips whenever I have them on.

I know she's thinking, 'I wish you wouldn't wear those'.

And her French tactic of complimenting shoes she finds more appropriate. 'Oh, EIS, I really like those sandals/heels/etc. on you. They set off that skirt well/make your legs look longer, etc.'

I know her game .

They're also great for summer because they're cool and comfortable without having to expose your toes if you're due a pedicure.

bran · 10/08/2007 21:59

As we're confessing, I have a pair of these in celery/white which I like but I find the white a little too white. And a pair of these in butter, which I hate and never wear. I don't know what possessed me to buy that colour, it doesn't go with anything I own.

expatinscotland · 10/08/2007 22:01

You don't have that celery/white pair now? Not for real, right? Surely that's a wind up!

I quite like the style of the butter ones, though!

I'm in love with the camouflage Mary Janes for DD1, though! In pink, of course. MUST HAVE THEM FOR HER!

OP posts:

bran · 10/08/2007 22:04

Yes, really. They are very comfortable, but perhaps a little too high for me, they're about 2 inches. Do you think they're horribly ugly?

expatinscotland · 10/08/2007 22:06

K, I do find those ones really ugly, bran.

Sorry .

OP posts:

expatinscotland · 10/08/2007 22:24

Heehee. Cod's around.

OP posts:

bran · 10/08/2007 22:28

They look dinkier on than they do in the picture. They are a bit like a crocs version of wedge-espadrilles.

expatinscotland · 10/08/2007 22:28

Are they springy like the usual Croc's heel?

A little, they give a bit when you step onto them but they don't spring you back up again, which I think would be a bit de-stabilising.

Heathcliffscathy · 10/08/2007 22:30

have to agree cod. they are the devils work.

expatinscotland · 10/08/2007 22:31

Yes, because then your foot has to pick the weight of the heel back up again.

I'll stick to the Mary Janes.

Although DD1 has a pair of Croc wellies, too, that she adores.
