Crocs shoes

[Brandy]

I'm a Keen's fan. LOVE THEM!!!! I was a die-hard Teva fan until I found Keens. Bikerchick68...is there a Nordstrom Rack down in San Diego? I found my three pairs of Keen's up here at the Costa Mesa location last year. I have the Jamestown, Jamestown slides and the Seattles...which I live in. I could do without the Jamestown slides, I wish I had just gotten two pairs of the Jamestown since they are easier to hike in. Oh...my point about Nordstrom Rack was that you can usually find them for half price there. If I recall correctly I paid under $50 for each of my pairs.

Just a little update . . . I purchased a pair of Crocs and I must say, they're incredibly comfortable. Actually ended up ordering an additional pair - one for gardening and the other for casual wear. I'm hooked. Although, I may have to invest in the Keen's now - they look comfy as well.

I love my Crocs too!

One caution though...they tend to be a bit slippery when it's raining, so I would be leary about using them while rafting etc. Other than that, since I bought my first pair over a year ago, I rarely wear any other shoes, except of course my Sidi's

I have wide feet 7.5-8 D, so they are very comfortable for me. I have the Women's M (8-9).

Having plastic next to my tender bare tootsies on a hot summer day sounds like too much pain to me. How do people wears these things in the summer?

My friend who has MS has sworn by these shoes. They work for him. i have a pair of the sandles that they make and love them during the summer. You can wear them in water no problem and they don't harbor bacteria either.

Except they were made with boaters in mind. I don't find mine to be slippery at all.

I've had a pair for a few years now. Bought them for use in the river, but I wish I had got the ones with open toes so pebbles could slide out easier. I noticed my dad had his on this year on the river, and was raving about them. They are very comfortable, and I throw them in the washing machine when they get too icky from the garden. I have also been known to put them in the top rack of the dishwasher, but without the heated-dry cycle on. You can also sterilize them with bleach or throw them in boiling water to sterilize, too. (That's why nurses like them.)

I could never do plastic shoes, either. Remember Jellies--all the little girls were wearing them a few years ago, and I just couldn't imagine it. But Crocs aren't plastic, and have none of the problems with stinky or sticky that plastic does.

I've moved on to Chaco sandals this year, but my Crocs stay right by the door at the ready for a trip around the garden.

I used to LOVE Jellies!!! Especially my red ones. You wouldn't think they'd be comfortable, but they were...

I live in Maryland and I got a pair last fall and wore them all winter long (except for snow days) and loved them with socks on. I can't imagine wearing them during the summere in "Toad Tunnel Town" (where I went to school). My feet get a little sweaty and then they just feel icky. But a great winter or cool weather shoe with a pair of socks!

I LOVE MY CROCS!!!!! I have worn Danskos for years b/c of foot problems and when I bought the crocs I thought I would just use them for after biking or running to bum around in, I wear them ALL the time now! they are as good as my Danskos for support and the little nubs in the bottom actually massage your feet.

If you find yours are slippery are you sure they are crocs? I tried another brand on and they were very slippery inside, I thought I might save a few dollars getting that pair but didn't buy b/c of the slipping.

I wear a size 9 and have a medium croc. they have flip flops now and they are comfy too!!

I'm glad to hear they are comfortable.. I just couldn't figure out what the draw to them was. Personally I think they are just plain ugly (please don't take offense)...

[Brandi]

They are ugly! But they are compfy and that's that! Have you seen the sandles? They are not ugly, they don't come in as many colors but they are not as ugly. My husband said the sandles were easier to look at and he was glad I got those and not the clogs. Mine are red.http://www.zappos.com/n/p/dp/2789593/c/559.html

[marylnsky]

I just don't know.. I can't get past the fact that they look like something that I should be wearing if I were gardening Hey, if they are comfy thats all that matters... Got to keep the tootsies happy!

This spoile girl has Crocs (red) and Keens (purple!). On the river, I feel more stable in my keens. The Crocs are a little loose and I wouldn't want to watch one float down without me!

I leave for my bike tour tomorrow, still can't decide which pair to take!

[Nanci]

Ok, thanks to you all, I bought a pair of Crocs for my standing/walking all day job, after faithfully wearing Burks for 20 years.

I love them. But they are wide!! I have to wear thick socks with them. I have lime green, but now I want more...I wish they came in purple! Pink will have to do.

[greenmachine]

Nanci, I just went to the Crocs website and they do have purple!! It's not a dark purple, but maybe they will do anyway...
