Help. I am seriously considering buying some Crocs...

I am off on holiday abroad in a month and am seriously thinking of buying a pair. I was thinking that if I bought a 'decent' pair I could travel in them then wear them on the beach and to breakfast etc and only have to take one other pair of shoes to wear in the evening.

Am I mad or is there a better alternative?

I really do not want to look like a twat

DH will kill me if I am useless at the airport due to inapropriate footwear - plus I will have a pushchair and need to chase after a 4 year old in them as well.....

Perhaps if I buy a really decent pair of flip flop things.......

I am gong to go against the gran here and say YES GET CROCS! V.comfy and easy to walk around in, your feet wont sweat if you get the holey ones. They are fab honest.

Or a couple of nice pairs of canvas pumps. Primark have some nice ones about £4 a pair. Good for chasing,
protects toes with the buggy,
not twat-wear.

Buy them for your 4 year old instead

or espadrilles - the flat French ones...or some flat topped Converses- might as well look stylish in your pumps
Crocs are just not very nice

Canvas pumps come in different colours
AND ARE PATTERNED TOO.
They will also go in the washing mashine.They are cheep enough to have a pair for every outfit.
Crocs make your feet look huge like clown's feet.

Sorry, meant cheaper.

Chequers - what's wrong with Converse?! I am going to end up with a complex at the airport at this rate!
