chelsea Posted May 8, 2007 Share Posted May 8, 2007 mine are the soft candy pink.....I just didnt like the people staring. Maybe I'll wear mine dog walking in the dark for now. Best not upgrade to fuschia pink yet eh? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lesley Posted May 9, 2007 Share Posted May 9, 2007 Mine rubbed slightly at first as I have a high instep - they soon settled though. hold you head high Chelsea - and ignore the stares Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnnieP Posted May 9, 2007 Share Posted May 9, 2007 I lOVE people staring at my feet (fuschia pink crocs here too). Much rather they looked there than at my erm, rather large frame, If you know what I mean... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Louise Posted May 9, 2007 Share Posted May 9, 2007 My red Mary Janes are going to Glasgow this afternoon to the passport office I am anticipating problems getting my passport due to my name so hoiping the crocs will lighten things a little Thay may take one look and decide there is no way she is getting a passport Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
feemcg Posted May 9, 2007 Share Posted May 9, 2007 I thought my crocs were great last year when we were away in the caravan - I had my fuschia Caymans and Anna had her fuschia Georgies. Great for slipping on and off in the awning, and when we'd been for a wander round Kintaline poultry (just outside Oban), they had a tap on the wall and we were able to rinse all the chicken poo off before getting back in the car . I didn't feel anyone was looking at me, and that was the North West of Scotland . Maybe I just didn't notice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
feemcg Posted May 9, 2007 Share Posted May 9, 2007 If you take a wander down Buchanan St. Louise, there are loads of shops with crocs, mary-janes included. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted May 9, 2007 Share Posted May 9, 2007 Wear those Crocs with pride Chelsea and hold your head high girl! If you still hate them, then there's always the Crocs exchange in the NB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chelsea Posted May 9, 2007 Share Posted May 9, 2007 okay folks. Gearing myself up to wear them to homebase today. Any more stares and they're going in the "croc swap" section of the nesting box Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bronze Posted May 9, 2007 Share Posted May 9, 2007 Oh my goodness After managing to avoid crocs as theyre not really my bag I spent this morning looking for sandals for my boys. anyway couldn't find any nice ones so decided to look and see if there were any boyish crocs. Can'tsee any right for them but I have found scutes. Not a good idea this looking business Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lesley Posted May 9, 2007 Share Posted May 9, 2007 The Scutes don't look as nice in the flesh as they do on the site Bron - they make your feet look like boats Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowy Posted May 9, 2007 Share Posted May 9, 2007 My boys love their crocs, and the little ones do look quite cute! Great to throw on for playing out or to put on quickly for a short car journey. And they can do it themselves - no need for Mummys help (unless it's to find them Or as recently, to fish them out of the pond At least they float! ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bronze Posted May 9, 2007 Share Posted May 9, 2007 which type do your boys have Snowy? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Basset Posted May 9, 2007 Share Posted May 9, 2007 (edited) I agree with Lesley about Scutes. I only use mine as slippers, as I don't think they are nice enough to wear out!! I much prefer my Aspens, Caymens and All-terrains. Although my husband hates them all, and accidentally/on-purpose??? managed to "lose" my red Aspens in the rubbish collection.

Mrs Frugal Posted May 9, 2007 Share Posted May 9, 2007 That's terrible . My LSH and boys all nick my Crocs when they go out into the garden. My LSH doesn't even mind wearing the purple ones (although he won't go into the front garden in them ). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snowy Posted May 9, 2007 Share Posted May 9, 2007 which type do your boys have Snowy? They have caymens Bron, littlest takes a 6.5 and wears the 8/9 size, t'other is an 8.5 and wears the 9/10 size. I didn't intend giving the littlest such a big size, they were a bargain on ebay so I bought them for him to grow into, but I can't get them off him now and he doesn't have any problems with them, they stay on well enough for him to run round in (although he does take after me in the wide feet department as well) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My LSH doesn't even mind wearing the purple ones (although he won't go into the front garden in them ). If my Crocs are upstairs i will nick the OHs size 8s and potter about in those - they are just as comfy and still stay on my size 4 feet!

Paola Posted May 10, 2007 Share Posted May 10, 2007 ive had my pink caymans for a couple of weeks now. Im not sure if I like them anymore. We went away in the caravan last weekend. and everywhere we went EVERYONE was looking at them.....young kids, grannies ....in the supermarket,.. in the carpark, on the campsite......its given me a real complex were they being admired or havent they seen crocs in Dorset yet?? Also - they rubbed....we went for walks in the forest with the dog and rubbed my feet real bad. Havent worn them since Oh Chelsea Ignore them and do not let them get you down I do not care if people stare at mine with their big purple flower Jibbitz Thankfully mine are very comfy from day 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted May 11, 2007 Share Posted May 11, 2007 Chelsea, I got my first Crocs last year in Wales, and I walked down the promenade in Llandudno with EVERYONE staring at my feet! Mine rubbed as well to start with - I got a blister on the top of my foot, but once it had cleared up, everything was ok, and i wear mine most days now (unless it's raining).

Mrs Frugal Posted May 11, 2007 Share Posted May 11, 2007 Our town is quiet and not particularly trendy but I'm starting to see Crocs here and there now. I don't feel daft anymore (not that I cared anyway ) but I was amazed to see 2 other sets of Crocs at my youngest's parents evening last night!! Bright green and turquoise ones . Obviously mothers with taste . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jules. Posted May 11, 2007 Share Posted May 11, 2007 Just looked at the Jellyegg site - I want a pair!!! my shoe size is 3, so hopefully I can get in the children's ones I LOVE shoes, & cannot walk past a shoe shop without looking in.... I also love diamonds I have some red Cloggies which match my Eglu (& also the Little Tikes rocking horse & slide), & they are similar to Crocs. Better go now, or 3yo will be stranded at playschool Love the forum, it is soooo addictive x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
