Well mine did - they are the flip flop ones, they looked gleaming when I took them out but they have shrunk and are too tight across the toe and too short at the back.

one word: why?

SweetyDarling · 23/07/2007 11:37

Er - duh!

MegaLegilimens · 23/07/2007 11:37

Why wear crocs or why put them in the dishwasher (I'm guessing both )?

To clean them - I'd heard you could dishwasher them.

wt temp did u put them in at? I put mine in the wash machine on 40 and they are fine.

MegaLegilimens · 23/07/2007 11:39

I have v.old dishwasher so can't set temp - it does get very hot. I assumed they were indestructable

are they dishwasher safe then otherwise?

MegaLegilimens · 23/07/2007 11:44

Probably not. I have been told this by several people and think I read it on here somewhere once. I doubt the manufacturer recommends it.

did you do your dishes at the same time?

MintChocChippyMinton · 23/07/2007 11:45

ooh er. Sorry to hear about your felipe flops. I was going to dishwash the crocs here, but will use washing machine on cold instead if they need it.

MegaLegilimens · 23/07/2007 11:59

No dishes but I did all my flower vases. They are unscathed.

I'm sorry MegaLegilimens, but lol. I just can't get your poor sad face out my head, as you open dishwasher to find barbie doll sized crocs!!

this might sound odd but put them in again then whip them out before the end of the cycle - ie while they're still hot - and put them on with socks until they cool down to stretch them back. They only shrink as they cool down.
Don't answer the door in fetching crocs'n'socks combo hoever
