crocs for narrow feet

6 replies

katyamum · 22/04/2009 20:01

is it true that some crocs are made for narrow feet? I had them last year for my son and they are Made in China, but I looked at the sole of my Mary Janes and they are Made in Canada. They are both, as far as I know, proper bonafide Crocs. Any advice and please tell me where to buy narrow ones.
Thanks

Any answers about crocs out there? I since spoke to my friend who said her kids crocs say 'Made in Bosnia' and 'Made in Italy'

My 3 have 1 pair from Italy,1 from China and 1 from Bosnia.

The Bosnia ones come up big I know because I had a China pair the same size and the Bosnia ones were much bigger,the lady at Jellyegg said they can differ too. The Italian ones were lovely quite shiny. I didn't really rate the Bosnian ones, looked different somehow but ds wanted orange which R&B didn't do.

We had cheap knock offs from the market last year which came up much smaller. As they wore them all the time last year I wanted them fitted this year.

Mine are made in China and they fit ds who has fairly narrow feet well and E width fitting and they are genuine as I bought them from a Crocs shop.

Mine can't wear crocs, and whilst I'm not that keen on them to the point where I wouldn't buy myself a pair, I do think the children could successfully live in them all summer - especially for regular river paddling sessions and the like.

Mine all have ultra narrow feet - especially at the heel and the fake ones they had a couple of summers ago did not stay on.

If there is somewhere that sells narrow fitting originals or even similar type of thing I'd be very interested to know!

hobgoblin - maybe try on a pair of genuine ones when you are out and about and see how they fit ds also has narrow heels.
And to be honest I think they are hideous - but they are perfect for him in the summer in and out of sandboxes, water - the garden etc.

I got 4 pairs from Rubbersole.co.uk in the end. The italian ones were narrower than the Bosnian ones, which I sent back. Good luck
