I really really love Crocs

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 bought a pair of black crocs sliders from M&M for a tenner last week, worn them just round the house as slippers but have ventured out in them too. Normally always wear Fitflops but my feet swelled in the heat making them too tight 😩

DD has bought a pair of bright yellow Crocs, the proper ones, apparently they're all in now.

Interested in this thread?

I'm tempted go buy the marbley ones!
Can any croc wearers advise on size,

In ordinary footwear I'm a 61/2 sometimes a 7.
But sketchers I'm a 6 Confused

What would I need in a croc?

I'm a 7 but the size 8 is perfect. I would say the 7 would be right for you.

I have a pair of fake Crocs "to wear in the house" but I've started wearing them out too. No more fucks to give! But I can't say I love the look ;) even though white ones are apparently cool among the young, so I'm considering getting a pair of sandal type ones, but the sizing confuses me so I haven't hit "buy" yet. I seem to be inbetween sizes, they go 39/40 and then 41/42 so one seems like it'd be small and the other big? Normally I wear a 40. If there is any advice to be had here I'd happily take it!

GiantToadstool · 03/08/2021 12:58

Wow I had no idea they could go for £50. I had to read all the thread to find out if you meant something other than what I think pf as plastic gardening/beach shoes!!

My kids have these (usually 2 for 15quid copies) but only for home/beach!!

GiantToadstool · 03/08/2021 13:01

Amazon have quite a few different marble ones for 32.50.

Type crocs marble into amazon.

Yes I am looking at white as well being cool myself an all............. and then I can get the gibits to go on them. Now there's a thought !

I find the sizing to be confusing so I just plump for UK8. You can wear them bigger anyway.

banivani · 03/08/2021 14:31

Ah yeah the clogs can we worn bigger absolutely but the ones that look like sandals look iffier I think worn bigger. Maybe I'll buy both sizes and try them on.

AdaThorne · 03/08/2021 15:39

Those Cruella ones are both epic and also 5e most random branding team ups I remember seeing! Of course I now want them! 😂

Bargebill19 · 03/08/2021 15:41

It’s got to be the lite rider version. !!

AlanThePig · 03/08/2021 15:42

There were two versions I covet, Kiss ones (the band) and the adult Lightning McQueen ones.
Unfortunately both are impossible to find without spending a small fortune.

AlanThePig · 03/08/2021 15:44

Kiss crocs ❤️

I really really love Crocs
the80sweregreat · 03/08/2021 16:36

I like mine, they are comfy.
I think all the different makes get a bad press though.

Anordinarymum · 03/08/2021 17:22

So I've done it. I have ordered the Classic white platform clog at £45.

I've been sly though... I paid for these. I know - I'm a dreadful woman.

I'm gone cajole my partner into buying me the Cruella ones later..

Now I just need some jibbits for them. I wish everyday was like this :)

Jibbitz are REALLY cheap on Aliexpress. Search 'Croc Charms'.

Can one wear socks with crocs?

WingBingo · 03/08/2021 21:06

Not sure how this has happened, but I think I want some too. this thread

My 2 DC live in Crocs, must be a reason for that.

As if crocs on their own aren't bad enough!

(I'm not sure this thread is for me tbh...)

Wheresmybiscuit3 · 04/08/2021 01:03

Err... I did not read your title properly. Specifically misread ‘crocs,’

Off to bed for me.

Not a fan of crocs lol

AdobeWanKenobi · 04/08/2021 10:34

Isn’t it funny how people simply have to tell you how much they dislike crocs and usually Uggs as well.
Never fails to amuse me.

EverybodyIsInteresting · 04/08/2021 10:36

Some people are easily amused 😉

OhGiveUp · 04/08/2021 11:02

I love crocs. I have god knows how many pairs in various styles and colours.
Black Mary Jane ballerina ones which I wear daily have just been replaced with another pair after my original ones finally gave up after 15 years of daily abuse.
Long live the croc.

MikeWozniaksGloriousTache · 04/08/2021 11:33

I love clogs (I can’t justify the price of proper crocs atm as they’re only worn in the house) however my gardening ones are looking pretty shabby so maybe I can treat myself to the tie dye ones as a birthday present.

My other half got me some of the cheapy ones with the fleece lining in for slippers but you can’t take the bastard fleecy bit out so they stink now!
