Jules. Posted August 10, 2007 Share Posted August 10, 2007 Question-I know from this forum that Crocs can be washed, but how? In the machine? What temperature? My Crocs did not come with any washing instructions Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laura & CTB Posted August 10, 2007 Share Posted August 10, 2007 I stick mine in the washing machine on the wool cycle - about 25 degrees. (and have been known to dry them in the tumble drier too ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Helly Welly Posted August 10, 2007 Share Posted August 10, 2007 I put mine in with the normal wash, 30 or 40 degrees and usually with a few clothes too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moochoo Posted August 10, 2007 Share Posted August 10, 2007 A friend of mine's husband put her crocs in the washing machine and then tumble dried them. They came out like croc toast all flat and crunchy!!! Of course she had to buy 2 new pairs to compensate!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 10, 2007 Share Posted August 10, 2007 I do a 'Crocs' wash! Sadly and embarrassingly, I can't fit all our Crocs in the machine at the same time! And I have quite a large drum on my machine too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fourfinches Posted August 10, 2007 Share Posted August 10, 2007 If I have a bath rather than a shower I do a quick croc wash when I get out! Morag Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 10, 2007 Share Posted August 10, 2007 Why not just keep them on Morag? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowy Posted August 11, 2007 Share Posted August 11, 2007 I do that Morag! Throw them in the bath once I 've taken the children out, then pop them in the airing cupboard overnight! I've also stuck them in the washing machine with clothes! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mel (& Paul) Posted August 11, 2007 Share Posted August 11, 2007 The brighter the better! Be yourself & be different that's my motto!It's the ones in the white & black crocs that aren't normal. Trying to be all conservative, but deep inside there is that need to just ' try' & be different, so they get neutral coloured crocs. Emma.x Well I have a sage green pair with blue dog and paws and brown dog and paws and horseshoes and a glass of champagne and a mad cow. AND I own a pair of black professionals which I wear when I am training people - I am on my feet all day, but have to look smart and they look rather stunning with my trouser shirts. and I think I am PERFECTLY normal thank you very much! (well certainly compared to some of the people here!! Just because you dont like bright pink, purple or orange it DOES NOT make you odd.

Guest Posted August 11, 2007 Share Posted August 11, 2007 Well I am ashamed to say that my Crocs are black, navy and chocolate. Very plain and 'safe'. But I wear them all the time. I love the bright colours and would really like to wear them, but I don't wear trousers/jeans and think that bright colours with a skirt (usually dark) might not look quite right in most circumstances. If I could afford one pair of each colour, I might be braver with my brightness but for now I am happy playing it safe! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Couperman Posted August 12, 2007 Share Posted August 12, 2007 well, I have just read all 16 pages of this rather bizarre thread!! It seems like 80's hippy art teacher culture is sweeping the nation! I think they were called jellymoulds back then and were see through with bits ofglitter in them. I remember thinking that if they had made them out of the same stuff as bouncy balls my art teacher could jump really high!!!! I think Richard maybe onto a loser but I can't help agreeing with him!! I can't wait for the rubber bat wing jumpers, and rubber leg warmers and shouldercrocs. By the way the static build up problem is due to the rubber insulating you from the ground. When your clothes rub together as you move about you generate static which builds up until you ground yourself on something metal. This has been a problem in the US where people have gone BOOM! at the petrol pump. I think it was mainly when people left the nozzle in the car filling and went away and then came back when it was full, -spark- BOOM FIRE!! then instinct dictates that stupidity rules in panic situations,! 'pull out the nozzle' BIGGER BOOM! BIGGER FIRE! You can't leave our pumps to fill on their own so its not such a risk. I presume the Giblets are little add ons, so you could always ask them to provide little earthing strap giblets like you used to see on the back of mark one Cortina's that should solve it! And probably wouldn't make them look any dafter, er sorry less fashionable Kev. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Egluntyne Posted August 12, 2007 Share Posted August 12, 2007 Crocs aren't made of either rubber or plastic . They are made of a patented closed cell resin called Croslite. Apparently. They are very comfortable and easy to look after. That does it for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ali-s Posted August 12, 2007 Share Posted August 12, 2007 I'm getting massive static shocks when getting out of my car and closing the door when wearing my Crocs It really, really hurts Anyone else had this trouble ? Yes, terrible - I'm now frightened to touch the car door! The trick is to have your hand on the metal of the door BEFORE you get out. I am told this will stop it, but it's difficult to remember. I also get it from my vacuum cleaner and I am frightened to hold the metal shaft attached to the hose. I'm frightened to close the door too OH does the vacuuming Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted August 14, 2007 Share Posted August 14, 2007 OK guys, I don't wanna make anyone jelous but I'm here in NYC and when I was out shopping (errm for the last 24 hours) I ended up buying a pair of GRAPE CROCS! They were 29.99 DOLLARS!!!! I also bough a lovely pair with neoprene on for James, Mum was worried he wouldn't work well in regular crocs as his feet slip out of his slippers all the time, these look like they should be a little better fit. I know I'm in NYC and all I can do is tell you guys about my Crocs. I've been walking in them all day and I just need to sit down and have some quiet time before heading out again. It's 85 degrees out on the streets and that is damned tiring. Amongst my other purchases (many many other purchases!) was a shiny new camera so...... Now you are all jelous I'm of to update the blog - wait till you see the fake handbags.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted August 14, 2007 Share Posted August 14, 2007 Oooh they are lovely! Could you smuggle home a pair of size 5's too please? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 14, 2007 Share Posted August 14, 2007 I'm coming home by boat so no baggage allowance.....Trouble i I'm seriously over the limit for what you are allowed to spend. Have to mail home my reciepts and instruction books etc. The presents for Mum and James take me right up there alone. Of course my Crocs have been worn all day so no longer look new. I just hope I don't get done for all those fake handbags - now which one shall I take out tonight the Coach or the Chanel? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
