Crocs - if we offered Mumsnetters a discount, do we need adult sizes?

[JustineMumsnet]

So we are hoping to get a Crocs discount partner on board and we've found one who will do up to size 3 (ie kids). Apparently, they tell us, there's no point doing adult ones because no women will be seen dead in them... we'd be much better off with flip flops. Can this be true - will you be buying yourself a pair of Fushia Cayman's this year?
(I speak as someone who wears little else all summer but I fear I'm not exactly with it)

Lynette - if only
Before each exam they (the powers that be) make us walk up and down to check our shoes are quiet!!

MAS, thank you for the special concession

Agree with cocolepew
Now converse, that would be good.

Converse would be good too - ds (as well as new crocs) wants a pair of brown converse hi-tops. He is very specific and is not to be fobbed off with an imitation brand.
Sigh. That child is going to be expensive...

I approve of Converse - they are fab

Yes I wear them for work, at home, out the garden in the summer.
Pretty much live in my variety of colours come the summer time

Yes please to crocs for dh and kids
Yes please to converse for me.
All shoe discounts gratefully received.

you'd be mad not to offer discount for adults too

but what about birkies?

I wear the Mary-jane ones, wear them to work and all summer, need a few more pairs.

Not sure about converse for me though MAS. I fear I would look like someone who has forgotten she is approaching 40

Perhaps as a punishment

er umm how embarassing (quickly re packs the fuschia crocs back up and returns to Empire)

tsk tsk hippi - you can wear them after 40 - and you aren't even there yet !

??? is it april fool's come early?

and molly - "walking, boating, swimming, beaches, camping, gardening"
i manage to do all these without putting my foot in a croc

Geez, whatever happened to normal shoes [nostalgic]

Really MAS? Because my best friend wears them (pink high tops) and looks fab, but she is a very young 36, very sporty and very trendy.
I fall short of all of those...

Yes, they're the only shoe that stopped my pelvis hurting when I was heavily pregnant. Now, with four children, comfort is the most important thing on my agenda and I love my crocs! I also have two female friends who wear them the whole time, and my mum and Grandma wear them at home for their backs too.

I would be as interested in a discount on crocs as I would be with a discount on a brazilian..

although both would ensure the same outcome, ie looking like a twt (and the is not an i) ....

I was going to get a pair for taking camping this year so yes please to adult sizes!

I have inherited DS2's black high top Converses, as he has grown out of them!

Urghhh! to Crocs I'm afraid. But then again I don't have to stand on my feet for umpteen hours a day or have a cat that pees/is sick on my feet!

I think I would rather put my feet into a pair of real crocs, thanks.

This is just like one of those bumsex threads.
I shall be reading the croc-wearer's posts with a knowing smirk from now on.

2 yrs ago I thought they were horrible!

I definitely won't buy a pair now!

I'm afraid they're like Marmite, you either love em or ya hate em.

I wear them to walk the dog on the beach so yes, I would love a discount!

i wear them - sometimes!

what better to garden in or go walk down to - and in 0 the river

crocs rock
