Calling All Croc Lovers....

[zoodoyle]

So I've held out until now...but I think I'm going to take the plunge and order myself a pair of crocs. Now I need some suggestions - styles? Shopping sites? How "cheap" has everyone been able to get them? Of course, if I get a pair, the kids will be begging soon, and I am an equal opportunity shopper, so I'll have to buy for them too Thanks for all of the suggestions!!

I got the maryjane style from Dick's sporting goods, and I do believe I went through SR for some sort of deal (clicked through on a coupon, if that makes any sense). I don't know if google checkout is still offering money off your first order, but I also used that, and with free shipping, I think my order ended up being around $15.

I have wide feet, so I'm not sure the maryjane style was the best for me (it seems to be a bit narrower than the big duck-feet styles ( ), but they're alright. Now if only they stop making loud squashing noises when I wear them without socks...

When shoebuy has a sale they are the best place to purchase Crocs. If you sign up on their website you always get 10% off. Free shipping and free return shipping, no tax.

I know how you feel. Last year before I went to disney I was like no way in hell will I buy a pair of those. Now though I'm thinking they'd be good for an AK day next year. I think when I'm ready I'm going with Shoebuy.com since they do the free shipping, 10% off, no tax, and then 11% back from SR.

BF got a pair as a groomsman gift and has said they are pretty comfy. He has only worn then once though.

I got a pair of cleo sandal style 2 weeks ago and love them. I didn't buy them online though since I wasn't sure on size. I think I'm going to get a pari of Mary Janes also eventually. My feet held up better walking around Downtown Disney in my crocs than they did in my Birkenstocks.

We went cheap for our boys though and bought them each a pair of knock offs.

I have bought all of our crocs from shoebuy. You get 10% off for being a sunshine member and $10 off for being a shoebuy member. Free shipping and free return shipping and they have a huge amount of styles. My last two pairs were the best. I bought a thong sandal and the insole was the only rubber part. The straps are nylon and backed in suede. They are not nearly at bulky as the other crocs styles but oh so comfortable. I cant off the top of my head remember the name of the style but the come in khaki and white, white and fuschia, white and lime and another combination. When I find out the name I will post but if you go to shoebuy and tupe in crocs and then hit view all they will show you every style they make. I also bought the Primo which are like little ballarina slippers. They are so cute. I feel like I should be in the 60's wearing hot pants when I wear them. They are cut low on the heel and the toe and run a little big. HTH!

This past January when we went to disney I wore my sneakers and got horrible blisters on the first day, which continued to bother me the rest of the trip. Granted my next trip is not until august '08, but a girls gotta' be prepared I'll have to check out shoebuy.com! There's just so many choices

I never realized that they had so many different style options. I never really looked at them but have seen the "duck-foot" (interesting analogy ) style and thought it wasn't for me.

I have a pair of Waldies the Aurba style (open toe, open back) not the croc style (which they have) and I like them. They claim they are the original clog shoe.

I'll have to take a look at Shoebuy and see what they have. Thanks for the info!

I am a die hard Teva fan and wear them everywhere, including walking around Disney...I've worn them for years. But I broke down and bought a pair of Crocs through ShoeBuy . com and I'll tell you...I wore them my entire trip....walking in every Disney park.(I bought the pearl color with pink straps with Mickey's...hehehehe!)
I just bought another pair of black ones for work through Dick's Sporting Goods . com (I manage a restaurant and needed non-slips& no holes) they are soooo ugly, but my feet are so very happy!

Both ShoeBuy and Dick's ...you can go through SR too!!

Good luck, I know you'll enjoy them...at 1st I thought they were so ugly I'd never be seen in them...now, I could care less what anyone thinks..me feets think they are great!!

....also watch the DIS budget board....someone is always posting a sale for them somewhere!

I have worn nothing but my maryjane crocs for the past year. (minus when it snows or really rains because of the holes .) My entire family wore them on our past 2 Disney trips and we all LOVED them.Especially when you get caught in the FL rain...just wiped them dry and moved on! When my DH & I woke up every morning our feet were the only thing that didn't hurt!
I used to work in retail and was on my feet, literally for 60-70 hours a week. I tried every kind of shoe and nothing worked. I finally gave up my quest to look fashionable and started wearing the maryjane crocs. They were a miracle!
