Chicken deficient Posted July 5, 2007 Share Posted July 5, 2007 I've noticed that there seem to be one or two Croc fans on here... I'd love a pair - I know a few people with them and they seem great, and REALLY light. BUT I've got very narrow and thin feet, so when I tried a pair on, I could fit two or three fingers (one above the other) in between the top of my foot and the Croc. They were Caymens, which I think are meant to be the narrow ones. Does anyone else have Crocs that fit similarly loosely, and is it a problem? Thanks! p.s. obviously I'd need to get green ones Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lizinsa Posted July 5, 2007 Share Posted July 5, 2007 I have really narrow feet too and usually struggle to buy shoes that don't look like boats! My brother bought me Caymens and Mary Janes from America as a gift, the Caymens are big around my feet but I think that is part of the crocs 'look' and I don't have any problems walking in them, although I think they look too big if I wear a skirt but fine for shorts and trousers but perhaps that is a personal thing. I think the Mary Janes are narrower but are the traditional crocs and less practical if you're using them 'outdoors' rather than 'about town'.

Egluntyne Posted July 5, 2007 Share Posted July 5, 2007 Try on some Mary Janes...they are much narrower. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Couperwife Posted July 5, 2007 Share Posted July 5, 2007 Don't want to put you off, but apparently crocs are struggling with the demand at the moment. I ordered some Mary Janes from Jelly Egg (eons ago ) and they called me today to say that Crocs aren't delivering, they had 18,000 pairs of shoes on order, and none have come it seems like they are really struggling to get orders out. ive been to a couple of shops in town, who cant get specific orders either. try some on in a shop and buy them if they fit - or not if they dont, you may struggle to get them if you order them of the net.

Chicken deficient Posted July 5, 2007 Author Share Posted July 5, 2007 I was thinking about getting the Birkenstock equivalent - "Fun Birkis" which are much narrower, but they're not holey, so I was concerned they may get a bit hot in the summer...but having just assembled my eglu in the pouring rain, holes might be a bad thing this summer! Chickens are moving in tomorrow! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paola Posted July 5, 2007 Share Posted July 5, 2007 I have narrow and thin feet also but you soon get used to the croc fit Brantano (sp?) now sell crocs.

Don't say that, you'll start a riot on here! there is a helpsite available - www.icantlivewithoutcrocs.co.uk *runs and hides* and yes, I do have a lovely pair of sage green caymans!

hillfamily Posted July 5, 2007 Share Posted July 5, 2007 My Mum wants a pair of Black Georgie Boots......at last the power of the croc has got her Can't find a pair anywhere :anxious:..............so she's borrowed my red Georgies to wear to the Hampton Court Flower Show tomorrow Couldn't persuade her to wear either my pink pair ( yes I have 2 pairs) or Charlie's yellow pair.

Sarah 2 Posted July 5, 2007 Share Posted July 5, 2007 I would love a pair of Georgie boots. Is the sizing generous? I haven't ordered because I'm not sure which size I need. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jenuk99 Posted July 5, 2007 Share Posted July 5, 2007 Hi Why are they so popular, are they really comfy or is it the funky colours? Jen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laura & CTB Posted July 6, 2007 Share Posted July 6, 2007 Why are they so popular, are they really comfy or is it the funky colours?

xScrunchee Posted July 6, 2007 Share Posted July 6, 2007 I have narrow and thin feet also but you soon get used to the croc fit Brantano (sp?) now sell crocs. I brought my son (who will be two the end of august) a blue pair of caymans, they are sooo cute I have a two and a half year old son and a 7 year old daughter. I was looking on the Crocs site the other day and decided that I am going to get all three of us a pair of crocs. (Just wish they were a little cheaper as it's going to cost £70 for all three ) OH is not very happy. He does not want Liam to have a pair as he says that they are girls shoes and there's no way that I am ALLOWED to get him some!!!!!! So, three pairs it is then! Might get Liam some pink ones as pink is his favourite colour!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have never understood or done the "not allowed" thing. After all this is the 21st century!! And I'm sure Liam will look great in pink.

Helly Welly Posted July 6, 2007 Share Posted July 6, 2007 I would definately go for Mary Janes for narrower feet. As for wearing them in the rain, provided its not cold i prefer to wear Crocs when its raining as i hate it when my socks/shoes get wet. I first got Crocs for the comfort factor, though now i have to collect all the colours i can! Georgie wellies are fab and were, in fact, my first Crocs, bought specially for cleaning out the chickens. I got my normal shoe size, 6, which fits me fine, even though one foot is a 6 1/2.

Lesley Posted July 6, 2007 Share Posted July 6, 2007 My Crocs wellies are a size 6 - my Crocs are all size 5 which is my usual size. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted July 6, 2007 Share Posted July 6, 2007 My Crocs wellies are a size 6 - my Crocs are all size 5 which is my usual size. Ditto to that! I like to have a bit of room for some warm socks in winter. See Lesley, even our shoe sizes are the same. I'm sure we were separated at birth!
