CROCS advice...

35 replies

shhhh · 10/05/2007 20:04

The shoe and not the animal type .

Right I have got a few pairs from America and they are m4/w6 and my uk shoes size is a 4/5... I need to know...

If I buy a kids croc from usa in a size 3 will this fit me..?? Is there an overlap in a childs/adults size..?

Also anyone know any cheap sites for crocs..?? All I can see is around £30 and seen as I want several pairs (Lavender and celery) not keen on paying that... I did use an american site but they don't seem to have any stock atm.

Lastly..the colours I want a new but some sites don't list them or list them but they are not availble ...anyone shead any light..??

Bamzooki · 10/05/2007 21:11

While I am in no way suggesting you actually buy some of these...er...footwear, I can tell you that in terms of shoe size conversion, US shoes sizes are:
Mens - UK+1
Womens - UK+2.5
Kids - UK+0.5

At least this is how it works with trainers. Exactly WHY it works like this remains a mystery.

PeachyChocolateEClair · 10/05/2007 21:20

got mine on internet and they said stock in

fuzzywuzzy · 10/05/2007 21:27

try
www.lookatmycrazyshoes.com

they do a buy five crocs and get fifth pair free promotion going on and they have free P&P

katelyle · 10/05/2007 22:04

DON"T BUY GENUINE ONES! Buy them from your local market for five quid. They are just as good (I've got both so I know) and you can have 6 different colours for the same price!

lol lm ..!!! Of course we are..!!

Thanks for the links everyone..yes I did see the offer at lookatmy.... but not keen on buying so many pairs in one go..Hmmmmmmm...

Sorry but I want a genuine pair, haven't heard good reports about copies with them being uncomfortable and rub etc....

DS3 has a copy (shhhh) although a decent copy from Malaysia (good old ebay) not logo'd as crocs is hould say and I can tell the difference but he chooses them over his doodles every time so must be comfy enoug

mosschops30 · 11/05/2007 13:35

I bought from fatshoesday on wednesday night and they were delivered this morning which is fabulous (thats free delivery too)

have you tried sweetfeet, this was another site recommended but they didnt have the colour I wanted

HTH

PeachyChocolateEClair · 11/05/2007 13:40

And mine still not sent

angry]

Eff it, I'm going for my refund

bundle · 11/05/2007 13:45

copies do not rub and they cost 1/6 of the price if you buy them in peacocks

PeachyChocolateEClair · 11/05/2007 13:46

Well I just emailed fatShoesday ordered mine April 23rd and no sign

Hope theya r eon way but we will see (glad ytou got yours but you can see my annoyance)

mosschops30 · 11/05/2007 13:53

lulumama · 11/05/2007 13:54

PeachyChocolateEClair · 11/05/2007 13:55

LOL- its a pair of shoes

not that imprtant, in the scheme of things!

E-mail sent, will be forgotten until reply received

lulumama · 11/05/2007 13:56

no, not just shoes, crocs the comfiest shoes known to man, woman & child

PeachyChocolateEClair · 11/05/2007 13:59

PMSL

Can I just emphasize they're for the boys....

(not that my non-croc flip flops are any samrter LOL, especially with black anil varnish as I could find neither original colour nor remover when I chipped them...)

Course have now found original. yes, DS3 painted bathroom floor with it!

beemail · 11/05/2007 14:11

Just bought fakes in Malaysia and they are wonderfully comfortable and indistinguishable from Crocs aprt from logo. Ones which look the same are available in our local SE England market for £5 Must have a look in Peacocks too.......

well the site I ordered from before now seem to have what I want in stock so I have gone there...Just to suggest to fellow croc lovers:taylor shoes.

They are genuine, from USA and are around £10 ish cheaper than uk.

Ordered a pair of celery and lavender ones..also gone for some MARYJANE ones. Never seen them for real but think they look quite cute..will see when they arrive.

Peachy, hope yours arrive soon...

Lulu, I agree, crocs are sooooooooooooooooo comfy. I initially was wary but they saw me through my pregnancy (bad spd and sciatica) and I love them. Brill that I can shove 'em in the washer as well although last week upon doing do the washer tore the strap off...FFS....I was gutted although dh was more concerned about "breaking a £300 washer than a £20 pair of fecking crocs" (yup his exact words... Ah right obviously doesn't share my love for them..!
