I busted my big toe BIG time and I can only wear my slip in sandal right now, no flip flops or even sneakers. I tried on some Crocs and they seem comfortable and wide enough to accomodate my big toe and big feet. Should I try some out??? THanks.

Lauren picked out a pair of black maryjane style crocs. I am hoping these help with growing pains.
I purchased a pair of Doc Marten maryjanes online.
I tried the crocs on and didn't like them.

Yeah, the Payless Shoes ones i bought were not nearly as comfy as the crocs. We heart crocs around here. My hubby even wears some without holes in them to work. He works around all guys so no one notices anyway. He has the rx's. We pretty much live in them. I got my sister a pair of the Bistros (with the non-slip sole) as she is a nurse. Otherwise, if it's wet and you're walking across pavement which has had some cars parked on it, for example, you could slip.

Jenny, the reason you notice a big difference in the fake & original is there is an actual patent on the Crocs design. It is designed to absorb something like 90+ % of the impact as you walk. I have a pair & love them too, although I admit, they are ugly. |

I really want to get some of the fleece lined ones before next winter..they are cute and look cozy for sure!
I have never had the stinky feet problem at all with crocs..and I wear them with and without socks depending on how cold it is out.

I did something stupid with my toe- I slipped in the HEB parking lot on some water while I was wearing flip flops. I save my right foot but my left big toe took the brunt of it. YIKES!!! It isn't broken but I was told it will be a month before I can even feel normal. YIKES!!!

I've never had a stinky feet problem, but then I NEVER go without socks. I just can't stand having my bare feet inside a shoe. It just feels icky to me. I wear cotton booties in the summer and fleece or heavy cotton socks in the winter. I get them wet when watering the garden, but cotton socks don't really take that long to dry. And cool wet socks on my feet feel great on a hot hot day.

Whoops should have been more specific - I only noticed the stinky feet thing if they got wet with water from a hose and then your feet dried inside them - other than that no problems |

I love crocs, a friend of mine sells them and I have so many different colors. My favorite are the flip-flops, I wear these around the house instead of houseshoes. My husband says they are the uglies shoes he has every seen and will not wear them.
You must atleast buy one pair, then you'll be sold on them.

I am thinking about getting a pair for Charlie. Can he wear them without socks? I called my Doc this morning and she highly recommends them, especially for all the back issues I have. She know I live in flip flops and was always telling me I need more support.

Sorry, didn't read all the posts thoroughly.
Good to know Crick does to the "environmental" thing. Their program is good to know about.
I'll still stick to Birks. It's mostly the wet/sweaty factor------ and, still too trendy |

Posted - May 26 2008 : 03:38:16 AM
If we are to be earth friendly, I'd rather stick to my Birks too. I have had the same pair since 1992 and had them refirbished once since then. For sandals, you can't beat the support
I have a frined who has had her original pair since the late 60's. She gets hers fixed as needed too.
This is just opinion here, but the Crocs are too ugly and trendy for me. I prefer non-mainstream

Ok, thanks Amy. Good to know. My daughter has issues with her feet too, and I think we will invest in the real deal for her, and leave the cheapie pair for getting trashed at the cabin.
Ironically, we were discussing Crocs last evening at the cabin. LOL
AND I just purchased a pair of Mary Jane Doc Marten's online, waiting for delivery. Hope they fit like my boots do! Perhaps I can just buy those half socks that don't show, and use them as sandals.

mine have run true to size and i have worn them in the rain with no slipping problems. and kate, no one in my family has gotten blisters from them. my son had a knock off pair and got blisters, but he has had three real pairs and never had a problem with them.

What about sizing? Do they run true? I am usually a 10W so should I just order a 10? I can still change my order if I have to.

Kate- OH YEAH!! I love pink and more pink and the louder the better but now I will have to paint my toes something pretty since people will be noticing my feet.
I am hoping these will help wth my back issues and give me a little more support. Years of wearing military boots and shoes have screwed up my feet. Plus I have wide feet with high arches.

Heather, Hot Pink is soooooooooooooo you! I knew you would get them!
I have been considering getting a pair, but think they look tacky (sorry, no offense meant) and the stinky feet part kinda scares me too. However, everyone keeps raving about how comfy theirs are.
Has anyone had problems with blisters forming from theirs? My daughter has a knock off pair, and got some wicked blisters.
I am diabetic, so the thought of blisters on my feet terrify me.
Normally, I wear Doc Marten's but have nothing for the summertime other than a pair of cloggy type Target shoes that hurt my feet if I wear them too long. I go barefoot most of the time.
I have funky feet too (too many years in retail, factory work and dance lessons) so the diabetic issues aside, finding shoes are a p.i.t.a. for me anyways.

Your right, Aunt Jenny, the holes are not very practical in the winter. But remember all the snow we got up here this year? I wore those fleece lined crocs ALL winter when walking on shoveled surfaces, even when shoveling the driveway and walkways and my feet were nice and toasty in them. That fleece lining made all the difference. The only problem was that when I wore them out in public, people thought I was wearing my slippers!

I have several pair of them (and noticed a HUGE difference between real crocs and the fake ones, by the way) and wear them alot..even a couple pair (in black and navy) of the maryjane style..I have the navy ones on now..for wearing with skirts. I do love my birks and will never NOT wear them..but crocs are handy and more washable and great especially for summertime. I can't imagine NOT having them now. I wear them with socks in winter..until the snow gets bad..then of course the holes in them aren't very practical. I resisted for a long time..but when I got them and wore them I really fell in love. I have black, red and chocolate brown clog style too...so, gosh, guess I have 5 pair.

I'm totally into comfort and not so much fashion. When the Airwalks first came out, they looked comfy enough and when I tried them on, I was hooked. I never could justify spending the money on Crocs or Birks. Rose got me a pair of fleece lined crocs for Christmas and they are just wonderful! I wore them all winter. Then a friend of mine, who is a nurse, wears Anywears (which I never heard of) and swore by them. So I found them on line at Tafford (medical uniform shop) for $26 including shipping. I absolutely love them! They have even more cushion than the Airwalks and I wear them to work, on long walks, in the yard and garden and my back actually feels better since I got them. And they have a pretty little flower design on the top.
