The Dogmother Posted May 8, 2007 Share Posted May 8, 2007 Has anyone elses seen these imposters on ebay? Rosie would give all her teeth for a pair of those. Shame they don't do them in the right size. Oh, and these are the ones I saw a lady wearing at the weekend Ooo, and there are these...

bronze Posted May 8, 2007 Share Posted May 8, 2007 thing is are they imposter because similar things have been around for years. I do like the flower pattern Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted May 8, 2007 Share Posted May 8, 2007 I really like the floral ones too, they are ever so pretty, but the other pair Claret shows are really ugly. Has anyone pimped their Crocs yet? Who will be first? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cate in NZ Posted May 8, 2007 Share Posted May 8, 2007 I saw some red shoes very much in the Crocs style on sale in my local Asda over the weekend......... for £5! I wasn't tempted because they didn't look anything like as comfy, but the style is definitely becoming popular Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted May 8, 2007 Author Share Posted May 8, 2007 the other pair Claret shows are really ugly. Rosie and i saw a woman wearing the 'ugly' ones on Saturday when we were doing the omlet show at Sulgrave - the lady was adamant that they were Crocs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lesley Posted May 8, 2007 Share Posted May 8, 2007 I like the pink flowery ones - I may just have to get the paint out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted May 8, 2007 Author Share Posted May 8, 2007 I think they were only about 8 quid on ebay Lesley - might be easier to buy some. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lesley Posted May 8, 2007 Share Posted May 8, 2007 ooh! less than the cost of the paint Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PurpleHen Posted May 8, 2007 Share Posted May 8, 2007 Has anyone tried any of the others (and be prepared to admit it!) I would love to buy some from Asda, but crocs are so comfy I'm afraid I'd be disappointed - but I really want some caymans for the summer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ali-s Posted May 8, 2007 Share Posted May 8, 2007 I was tempted to buy some Croc lookalikes at the weekend. The are called Holeys and are dead ringers for Caymans Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cinnamon Posted May 8, 2007 Share Posted May 8, 2007 I saw some great tie dye crocs on Ebay a couple of weeks ago Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phenna_family Posted May 8, 2007 Share Posted May 8, 2007 I have a pair of crocs, and I also bought a pair of lookalike crocs from a local clothing shop called Viter they were 6 pounds, very much like crocs, but not as comfy, am interested as to see what Asda are selling, my daughter wants a pair of crocs as she is always borrowing mine even though they are 3 sizes too big. I love crocs and wouldn't wear anything else now. Claire Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chocchick Posted May 9, 2007 Share Posted May 9, 2007 Am I the only person on the forum who doesn't get the appeal of crocs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lesley Posted May 9, 2007 Share Posted May 9, 2007 ...but have you tried any on CC? They may not look like your idea of fashion/cool/fun, but once you've tried them.................. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chocchick Posted May 9, 2007 Share Posted May 9, 2007 no, it's the look of them... This could be expensive Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PurpleHen Posted May 9, 2007 Share Posted May 9, 2007 Am I the only person on the forum who doesn't get the appeal of crocs? I didn't like the look of them either - but once you've worn them once, there's no turning back. Hence why you then think "heck, if I'm going to wear these things they may as well be bright pink" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lynn Posted May 9, 2007 Share Posted May 9, 2007 Hmmm, my crocs are completely different! Mine are thong sandals, lovely lime green and fushia! OH did this when I bought them a couple of weeks ago. BUT, they are the most comfortable things I've had on my feet for ages...even had to wear them to work for two days last week. I had been out for a walk (20 miles) and had worn a new pair of trainers boy did my feet hurt, but those crocs...saved the day Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hence why you then think "heck, if I'm going to wear these things they may as well be bright pink" I went for Purple for this very reason. (Have also got a black pair and some black Mary Janes which are fab.) Have got a bright orange blouse and I found myself thinking "a pair of orange crocs would set this off nicely!"

chocchick Posted May 9, 2007 Share Posted May 9, 2007 I feel like less of a forum deviant now . It was like having a dirty secret I couldn't share. I'm an omleteer and I don't own crocs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Louise Posted May 9, 2007 Share Posted May 9, 2007 I was the sams sarah till the brought out the Mary Janes and then I got a pair of Caymans I think the Caymans are more comfy but they make my feet look like boats Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have got a bright orange blouse and I found myself thinking "a pair of orange crocs would set this off nicely!" Go for orange Egluntine - orange rocks (although Lesley wouldn't agree) I hated them too Choccy and resisted getting any for myself because they looked like boats, but I tried Rosie's on and they were so comfy that I got some for me too. As Lesley knows (she's seen me first thing in the morning), I don't care what I look like They had some lovely tie die ones on ebay yesterday, and some called Coolers, which looked the most like Crocs.

myles Posted May 9, 2007 Share Posted May 9, 2007 Can someone tell me how they're supposed to fit, because i've tried them on a few times and they feel so uncomfortable . I love the look but can't stand the feel, plus they are getting very common and find that a bit off putting. Anne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted May 9, 2007 Author Share Posted May 9, 2007 If your toes are up against the front, then there shoudl be 1cm of space behing your heel at the back, at least that's what Jellyegg told me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
