Hen Huggers R Us Posted May 21, 2008 Share Posted May 21, 2008 I totally agree Tessa, mine are bright pink and DH's are Navy blue. My teenage kids have both got croc copies though, and in comparison they feel yukky to wear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BUT they feel yukky to wear because they are COPIES the copies just do not have the same comfort factor - made from completely different stuff.

MedusA Posted May 22, 2008 Share Posted May 22, 2008 I'll know I've really been "got" by the Omlet factor, when I get crocs. I've just about bought everything else! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Imo Posted May 23, 2008 Author Share Posted May 23, 2008 BUT they feel yukky to wear because they are COPIES the copies just do not have the same comfort factor - made from completely different stuff. Same with the Uggs - the cheap copies are the ones that make it seem like you're not walking with the sole of the shoe underneath your foot I won't argue that Uggs aren't ugly, I hated them before I bought them! But it stops my feet turning blue in the winter Once you've tried them, you wouldn't turn back!! Maybe it's the same with the crocs? Hence, why I will never try them.....

Seagazer Posted May 23, 2008 Share Posted May 23, 2008 My SIL has had a pair of imitation 'crocs' for what seems like forever. She paid a fiver for them and they have only just broken. She seems to wear them all the time. I'm getting a pair for YS this weekend for his chook duties Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muzzie Posted May 23, 2008 Share Posted May 23, 2008 I am totally with you Imogen. I can't stand them clumpy and plastic!I think they look really cool on under fives, otherwise nooooooooo. Tessa I agree totally I can't stand the feel of plastic I do spend most of my day in clogs, same style I guess only not plastic mine are leather.

They would cover the Crocs - but I usually have my skirts tucked in my knickers - it saves collecting all that chicken poo along the hemline .... and that is how I was dressed when Bishop David came round to the chicken run to find me one day Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redfrock Posted May 24, 2008 Share Posted May 24, 2008 the thing is that crocs don't just make the big clumpy ones, that people generally associate with the make. They make all sorts of styles including proper flip-flops etc, out of the same material as their standard crocs. So now there is no reason to dislike them as many of the styles are no different to 'normal' summer shoes ..... just 10 times more comfortable. I am dreading the winter when I have to revert back to 'normal' boots Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bronze Posted May 24, 2008 Share Posted May 24, 2008 I have to admit I did just think maybe a pair of those flipflops..... but!!!!! I wouldnt wear them everywhere like people do sometimes in the most innapropriate places. I would wear them for the school run (walk) etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would wear them for the school run (walk) etc. I promise I won't be wearing them when I am attaending court for work - they'll just be in the back of the car to change into the minute I am finished! Actually I have bought the 'Adara' style for work. They are veritually no different to what I wore last summer, and are in black, so "Ooops, word censored!"ody will have a clue that they are Crocs.

Cooks Posted May 24, 2008 Share Posted May 24, 2008 (edited) Asda have copies for £4 at the moment Edited May 24, 2008 by Guest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubereglu Posted May 24, 2008 Share Posted May 24, 2008 Primark are now also selling copies too. Funny you should mention the flipflops Bronze as I've recently bought a pair from Jellyegg and they are brilliant. They give your heel a lot more support, and thus a bit more shock protection and the toe posts don't rub on me like normal flipflops either! The athens flipflops are on Sale at £20 from Jellyegg and the Ithacas are too, for £25. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
