Helly Welly Posted May 18, 2007 Share Posted May 18, 2007 Oooohhh, i have red Mary Janes too, never take them off!!! I can't believe you have to wait a month, i'm lucky as a shoe shop in my town sells loads of Crocs, surprising as there is hardly any other decent shops at all, too many chavs in our neck of the woods I'm getting another pair next week, probably Caymans, probably, green Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Couperwife Posted May 18, 2007 Share Posted May 18, 2007 Helly welly, im a size 6.5 but ive gone down a size should I have gone up a size to a 7?? what are the sizes like? I think I can change them before I get them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Helly Welly Posted May 18, 2007 Share Posted May 18, 2007 I'm a large size six and got the size recommended online. My toes do tend to stretch out the ends of the shoes slightly when i'm walking, but the go back to shape again when i stop. My biggest foot does touch the end of the shoe, just, when i'm sat down but i wouldn't go up to a 7 personally. However, i also wouldn't say i'm a 6.5 so its a bit tricky!!

Couperwife Posted May 18, 2007 Share Posted May 18, 2007 i'll see what they are like when they get here, i'll walk around the house for a little while to see what I think what do you think about caymans? can I justify another pair of shoes? I dont actually have any orange or yellow ones at the moment - you never know when they come in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Couperwife Posted May 18, 2007 Share Posted May 18, 2007 how and why would someone know that unless, - do you know? I dont want to know did you know that you can cook salmon in a dishwasher? my mum has done it... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted May 18, 2007 Share Posted May 18, 2007 I'm a 6 and bought size 6 navy Caymans. I went for a walk in them and they rubbed on my instep really badly. So I bought black size 7 next time. Now I wear both and can't tell the difference! In Primas, the 7s were way too big. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Helly Welly Posted May 19, 2007 Share Posted May 19, 2007 Couperwife, i've just measured the inside of my mary janes and it is 245mm. Mine rubbed slightly on my instep the first time i wore them but they were fine after about ten minutes as they mould to the shape of your foot. I put mine in the washing machine in a normal 40 wash and they come out looking like new. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theherd123 Posted May 19, 2007 Share Posted May 19, 2007 First outing for my fucshia caymans today - very comfy and not to many looks - much to hubby's relief Thats good! I wore mine to the supermarket last night and they appeared to take the breath away from a group of teenagers outside!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaime Posted May 20, 2007 Author Share Posted May 20, 2007 I've worn my Crocs all day today... so comfy. Had a wander around the Tame Valley part of the Transpennine route and then to a community farm for a few hours. Wiped my Crocs with a damp cloth and then Crocbutter and now they're better than new. I came home and ordered some more of the interwebnet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cate in NZ Posted May 20, 2007 Share Posted May 20, 2007 What on earth is Crocbutter? That somehow has bypassed me entirely . I've got Anchor butter and Lurpack............ no Crocbutter . I simply chuck mine into the washing machine (not got round to the dishwasher method yet, but can't quite fancy washing them alongside plates and cutlery that I intend to eat off......... no matter how hot or hygienic the dishwasher is supposed to get ) Is crocbutter essential to maintaining their ermmm, stuck for a word here............. let's try health and longevity Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin B Posted May 20, 2007 Share Posted May 20, 2007 I am the source of a crocs obsession within my family. When I first bought my pair everybody was laughing at me, and saying they were horrible. Noy my Grandma, Grandad, 3 cousins, Aunty and Mum own at least 1 pair of crocs each. My cousins have 2 pairs each alike me. The obsession is so much that in fact my Mum and Aunty were on the phone earlier discussing which Jibbitz to buy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cate in NZ Posted May 20, 2007 Share Posted May 20, 2007 It's catching Martin So which Jibbitz are you getting? Do they make Villa ones Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin B Posted May 20, 2007 Share Posted May 20, 2007 Donald Duck for me. My cousins are having various butterflies, flowers and dragonflies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaime Posted May 20, 2007 Author Share Posted May 20, 2007 Sorry.. my spelling mistake it's Crocsbutter. A small foam pad in a plastic case that you wipe over your Crocs and it makes them ultra shiny. Probably not as tasty as Lurpack but low in cholesterol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowy Posted May 20, 2007 Share Posted May 20, 2007 Jaime it's hard to believe it was only 4 days ago you were saying you didn't know what we were all on about! And now look at you! On your second pair already - smitten! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted May 20, 2007 Share Posted May 20, 2007 Regards the sizing - they recommend that you have 1cm of space at the back if your toes are touching the front. I was in a dilemma as to which size to order, because I take 2.5; I spoke to the lovely Sarah at jellyegg and she suggested sending me both sizes and a freepost sticker so that I could send back the size that didn't fit. I got size 3. Great customer service. BTW, there are loads on ebay right now, including the ones that they don't stock here yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buffie Posted May 21, 2007 Share Posted May 21, 2007 I'll check that out Clare and also the crocsbutter BBx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted May 21, 2007 Share Posted May 21, 2007 I've got some Crocbutter. Cost about three quid I think. It does make them nice and shiny........but I wouldn't describe it as a crucial piece of kit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lesley Posted May 21, 2007 Share Posted May 21, 2007 Jaime it's hard to believe it was only 4 days ago you were saying you didn't know what we were all on about! And now look at you! On your second pair already - smitten! Now we just need to get Richard in a pair The Crocsbutter sounds good, but I think a wash in the washing machine with fabric conditioner added is probably as good?

Guest Posted May 21, 2007 Share Posted May 21, 2007 When you say 'shiny' do you mean mirror finish shiny, or just clean-shiny? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted May 21, 2007 Share Posted May 21, 2007 When you say 'shiny' do you mean mirror finish shiny, or just clean-shiny? Not "mirror finish" shiny ...but shinier than just "clean". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted May 21, 2007 Share Posted May 21, 2007 I think I'll save my money and stick them in the wash We got OH (Jonnie) in pink crocs yesterday.. well, he's had a few to drink and Annie was very persuasive I'll post the pics later when I get time. The Boy's next! He said that hell would freeze over first.. I feel a challenge coming on.... there's nothing Buffie and i like more than a dare Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted May 21, 2007 Share Posted May 21, 2007 www.abound.co.uk is selling Crocs for £20. I've just had a look and they are the real thing, but only in children's sizes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
