Now i promised that I would never buy a pair of these, but starting theatres soon, and working on a ward and have seen loads of people wearing them for work.

Do you have a pair, what are they like? And whats with the sizing because I tried a 4 on yesterday and they were massive!

P.S I am buying black, not lime green

they are meant to be loose fitting. i am wearing mine atm for pottering round the house and going out the back garden. very comfty and light.

If you go to rubbersole.co.uk I think they have a printout size guide (that you put your foot on).

I have a bright pink pair which I wear around the house and in the summer. They are the most comfortable shoes I've ever worn. Mine are my normal size (6) but they are a bit bigger than most of my other shoes.

misdee · 22/01/2007 12:08

i am a size 6.5 and am wearing cros 7.

CODNoMore · 22/01/2007 12:08

oh dont do it

expatinscotland · 22/01/2007 12:09

they're fab for pottering around! or the beach.

percypig · 22/01/2007 12:11

I agree they're great for the beach, I know they look like clown shoes, but we're at the beach a few times a week from April/May till October and I love them!

hana · 22/01/2007 12:12

my nephews in canada had them last summer
i didn't think the trend had gotten that far!
they were v cool

mosschops30 · 22/01/2007 12:21

so are the sizes bigger or smaller. The guy in the shop said they should be loose fitting but they need to be fairly fitted for work.

florenceuk · 22/01/2007 15:54

Bought the kids knock-offs in NZ - less than $10 ea (ie about £3 or less). I'm sure there must be some around in the UK? My sister said they were very comfy but I think I would only wear them at the beach/in the garden.

CODNoMore · 22/01/2007 15:55

nappyaddict · 22/01/2007 15:56
