Now I know the reason for the 15% off and free shipping. Just as we are talking here in the forum about how SR is having trouble, I read an article that Crocs has been given until the end of September to turn around their numbers or they might be shutting down. So if you love Crocs, you had better get them now for two reasons...1) They may not sell them anymore soon, and 2) You want to help them stay in business.

Yes crocs filed bankruptcy the first part of the year. It just shows how much of a fad they are. I need new flip flops but I need cash flow too.

My girls and I never got into them, but I know some people swear by them. I like my Alice ones for places where I might get wet (like the beach) because I know that they won't give me blisters. But those are the only ones I have.

They have been the only things I have been able to wear during the pregnancy

WOW! My friends have multiple pairs of them... different colors... I just jumped on the bandwagon now that they have styles that look good.
I had no idea (been sounding clueless today in my posts...hmmm)

My father was told he had to have an operation for some foot pain I can't remember the technical name of it... He started wearing crocs instead of going barefoot in the house, and the pain went away...
When my husband started getting foot pain, I immediately bought him a pair...

Thanks for the heads up... I'll have to buy them in the next few sizes for the kids, and buy the pair for myself I have been eyeing.

Oh no! :eek: I love my Crocs! They are pretty much the only shoes I will wear at Disney. I don't like the clog style, but I do like some of the other styles. I was just thinking about getting a couple new pairs for me and for my dd. Looks like I better order soon!

Someone just told me today about Crocs financial difficulties. I have been thinking about a pair of mammoth crocs for the winter. I'd better order too. I LOVE my crocs!

I now own 5 pair of crocs and I love them all. I bought 2 new pair for the Affiliate Summit cause I know we will be on our feet a bunch but I wanted something comfortable and stylish. Even got a couple pair of wedge ones to be able to wear with a summer skirt. I sure hope they stay in business. I have really really bad feet and these help me so much.

I wear the professional ones and the Rx ones for work and alot of the other nurses that I work with wear them. My only real complaint is they make my feet hot so I wear thick socks (bought from Hanes thru SR :sunshine:) and make sure to get the ones with side vents/holes.

I absolutely LOVE my CROCS!!! I like to watch the show "What not to Wear" but I would never want to be on it (even though I could probably use it) because I would be afraid they would throw away all my crocs...I have: 1pr. Mammoths, 1pr. professionals, 2 pr. Caymans, 2 pair Athens flip flops (1 of those is Red Sox!), and 2 other pairs of flip flops....so 8 pr in all. I wear them whenever I can...I don't buy slippers anymore either, just wear my crocs. My dd has several pair, and DH has 3-4 pr as well...we all love them. They are the only thing I wear in WDW with the exception of if we dress up at night.

I would be very sad if they went out of business...but now I need to go look to see if I can find the Athens style and color that I need to replace and a pair of Professionals in brown...

Oh, no! That's awful news. We love them here. I may have to stock up on a few pair for myself and buy Cameron a couple pair in the next few sizes up.

I love mine too! I was going to ask if it made a difference in ordering from crocs.com or Shoebuy, but Shoebuy doesn't have the beach style, which is what I like best. Crocs.com does have it, in light blue (my fave color) for 24.99. Do they charge sales tax as well? I'm consdiering ordering from them, but want to wait till Wednesday night so I can make sure I didn't spend too much on vacation. I also don't want to take the chance that they will deliver while I'm gone!

I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE MY CROCS!!
I have had three pairs of Mickey crocs in the Pearl/Pink combo in the past and loved them so much, that when Crocs had a great sale recently, I ordered 5 pairs of Disney Beach...in all colors!! :rotfl: Got them on the Crocs Outlet, when they were onsale for 14.99!! I also order a pair for my friends little girl pink/purple and they were 9.99...just so I could get Free shipping!

I have two pairs of the professionals (for work) and I just bought a pair of the Athen's sandals, with Mickey's on them :mickey: (I know obsessed!) from a gal on Ebay...they are great, I got a chocolate/blue pair and she just sent me a pic of the pink/orange ones she has(not too crazy about the orange) but she sells them for 24.99 + 7.95 for shipping if your interested I'll send anyone the link.

I also have a pair of Mammoth's for winter...guess I'll have to order more real soon, cause' I'll be very, very sad if they go out of business. :(
They treat my feet right!

I found a 25% off coupon on the Budget Board yesterday, I really don't like Crocs, but I needed some new flip flops and I can't find my favorite Reffs anywhere, so I did order some from Crocs. I think it was a great deal. 25% off and free shipping, shopped through SR for 4% back and used my Disney Visa for the points. Thanks Tricia!

I did read that they anticipate staying the the Pro business for nurses and the like, but may cut way back on the other stuff.

Just so you know if you used a coupon from another site to get 25% off you probably won't get your cash back from SR. Merchants don't want to pay SR when we use other coupons from other sites. Just a heads up in case the credit shows up you will know not to file a TT.

Wow. I would have thought they would be doing well with the amount of them I see all over the place (on people's feet). People even had them over in Europe which I thought was funny since Europeans seem to be so fashion forward in all the magazines. I have a pair of Crocs flip flops that I enjoy wearing. People find it hard to believe they are made by Crocs. Maybe they should start advertising the "fashion" styles more.
