I really really love Crocs

98 replies

I know, they are not for everybody, but I live in my pink clogs. They bring out the inner child in me and I feel nice wearing them. I do everything in them but I only have this one pair and would dearly love a new funky pair. I have been given permission to buy some using my partner's card and believe me it is burning a hole in my hand - but the damn things are very expensive and I feel slightly guilty.. only very slightly mind :)
Does anyone else who has my passion for foot fashion know of any outlets where I can buy them a bit cheaper than the Croc site?
Thank you

I have these in a few colours (as well as my actual clogs but they are my house shoes)

I really really love Crocs

'I have been given permission to buy some using my partner's card'

I am just baffled by the fact you have been given permission?
If you want them just get them, why do you need another adults permission? Do you not have your own means to buy them.
To me that is a much bigger issue than if anyone on the internet likes crocs or not.

I love them too. I don’t know why they cost so much.

Croc sandals were only £17 in the sale a while ago - they're pretty too!

ForeverInADay · 02/08/2021 22:22

They are amazing, I agree.

Although, I'm also a bit stuck on the 'given permission' part. Hopefully, it's just a phrase meaning it's some sort of present and not actually indicative that you need permission for shoes you really need/want OP.

Here in Portugal you can get Croc lookalike's for €4 and I love them! I have a massive bunion (going to see a surgeon about an operation on Weds) so I can't wear anything else without pain. I've got pink, blue, black and bronze ones Grin

If you Google crocs discount codes, you should be able to get at least 20% off. They have almost constant discount codes available.

Liskee · 02/08/2021 22:29

Massive fan of crocs!
Assume you're just being tongue in cheek about the permission to use the card.
My advice-take the piss and get the ones you want

hugoagogo · 02/08/2021 22:30

Tk maxx is usually good for bargains.

Do you know I wish I had thought before I made a funny post as people on here seem to have this' hidden agenda' reading into peeps posts.

I will get the ones I want, but I want to spend a bit less if I can.

For info, I do not have any problems in my relationship and I am not leaving the bastard before I get the Crocs
He is not abusive
He does not call me names or say I smell
He's a very nice chap actually (which is not a euphemism for an abuser)

There were some adults ones in TK Maxx round my way yesterday. Granted they were bright pink but maybe other stores have other options? Are they really that comfy- I don’t think I could get over the ugly factor Grin.

PostMenWithACat · 02/08/2021 22:38

They are OK and if you like them just buy them. I orefer Josef Siebel's Betsy clog which is leather and about the same price

Yes they really are. I dog walk in them and shop in them. I want a bling pair for going out. I can't really wear high heels anymore as my feet really hurt after a short time. I've got loads of sliders and the like but the Crocs make my feet feel safe and comforted if this makes sense

M n m direct I got some Croc flip flops for a tenner last week.

Babymamamama · 02/08/2021 22:43

When DD was about five she kind of blinged up her crocs with these croc broaches if that’s what you call them - you pin into the holes at the front. Is that what you mean?

Babymamamama · 02/08/2021 22:43

She was the envy of all the other five year olds Grin

JaneJeffer · 02/08/2021 22:45

Zalando has a sale on them.

Jibbitz. I adore my crocs. I only wear them in the house and garden and the kids take the piss mercilessly, but they are still the comfiest things in the world ever. And obviously I bought jibbitz 😂
I really really love Crocs
longtompot · 02/08/2021 23:44

I luffs my Croc flip flops. Just had to buy a second pair as the toe post in my previous ones broke. These are a bit smaller and fit so much better, even though I am pretty sure they are the same size. They are the same style. Only problem was I couldn't buy them from their site, I had to go to another one and pay a bit more, but after reading reviews on fb and the amount of non received orders I'm glad I did.

spotcheck · 02/08/2021 23:51

Aw, just buy the ones you really like.
I'm assuming your partner wants to do something nice for you? It would be a wasted effort if you get a pair that is 'ok' just to save a tenner 😊
