Forgive me mumsnet for I have sinned and I know crocs are bloody hideous but they have a hold on me and my beach loving family. Can anybody find me a pair of ruby red mary jane crocs for around £10 ?

Has there been a croc backlash ? I'm desperate for a pair for dd for her hols, she has the cheap ones at the mo but I don't find them as good, they're very wide for her narrow feet.

I will be very grateful, I will be happy, I will Grin like a crocodile if I can get her a pair Wink

They're comfy and practical. We live very near the sea and spend a lot of time they're, AND I can stick em in the washing machine with confidence.

They're fugly, but ave saved me and dd from blisters, for that I am grateful

DorisIsAPinkDragon · 05/05/2011 22:51

Apocalyse I can not let you stand alone and face the backlash

I must confess I too have a pair of crocs (in lovely pale blue)

and I still wear them (not so much out of the house since the mn S and B drubbing but still they have their place).

whatsapussycatdoll · 05/05/2011 22:52

you can get crocs in "sports soccer" for about £15 well i did a wee while ago, however the sketcher ones are good for narrow feet and also pretty cheap and just as comfy, i have both i care not.

a friend of mine recoiled in horror when i was wearing my bright red crocs at a BBQ as i had been working loads on my feet for 12hrs a day, and all other shoes were not comfy. she generally wears stupid shoes rediculasly high shoes and i didnt realise she was so short till a few months ago.

Plonker · 05/05/2011 22:55

Gah, you are now going to make me admit that I have a pair of ruby red crocs Blush

I got them from Sports Direct, and yes, they were a tenner

Do I need to say ten Hail Mary's now?

PS. I have to admit that I'm not truly repentful either - as shite as they do unquestionably look, I still love 'em Wink

I do call many shoes stupid, my sis is having to have an op to remove cysts from the feet she's ruined by wearing ballet pumps in a job that involves standing for 10 hours a day. She should have worn these avert eyes as needed will she listen ? No, she will not

Love crocs and I make no apologies. Don't wear them socially, but for work, anything else makes my legs feel like they are about to fall off...

Got my ballet pump style ones from a cheap sports shop for a fiver - think it was in Trafford centre when I was up in Manc - wore them til I wore a hole in the bottom...

ApocalypseCheeseToastie · 05/05/2011 23:28

Coooooo, I LOVE these ones
