Not just any old croc, oh no, they have to be -
Mary Janes in celery, uk size 5.
I've found a pair on ebay shipping from the US for £29.99.
Can anyone find a pair any cheaper, pref in the UK that does't go over £30 with P&P.

TIA

Had I known earlier....I have just sold a pair on ebay...!
Not all colours that are available in us are available here....ie celery mary janes.

Ebay sellers are good BUT beware of US based ones as although you pay them direct and they are sent to you, you may be subject to pay VAT once at uk customs.....

Most uk sellers will want £30 as thats the price set for them on sale in the uk....

Is it defo mary janes.? Has she tried a pair on..? Must admit I bought a pair for myself last week but sold them on straight away, quite narrow and I didn't like the way they looked with jeans etc. Personal choice but worth mentioning..!!

I can probably get celery caymen crocs for £28.....? inc p&p.?

Oh poo, did you
I think I did buy from a US seller, 20.99 for shoes, 7.99 shipping.

Defo mary janes, she already has a pair of the normal crocs - are they caymens?
Interesting to know they are quite narrow, my mum may have probs then.

Will let her know that I have potential to purchase celery caymens

Yeah its a good price..(well same as uk BUT obviosuly not as easy to get from uk supplier iykwim) BUT just beware as VAT may required...I had a delivery last week and got charged. Hey ho..!!

The normal crocs are either beach or caymen..caymen most probably. Also the mary janes are lovely and such a cute shoe but must admit although they fit in my usual size they are more fitted than the caymen croc...If your mum likes the roominess (such a word.??!) of the croc then she may not like the mary jane. I also didn't like how they looked when I wore jeans iykwim..Seemed like you couldn't see my feet..! Hard to describe really.! BUT each to their own and your mum may love them. If not ebay is the place to sell them.! Either that or here on mn. Lots of mner's who like crocs.

Thanks Shhhh,I shall see what she thinks of them when they arrive, they are shipping them as a 'gift', don't know if that makes a difference on price .
