hen the whole Croc craze started, I didn't understand. I did not see how shoes that felt like a cross between rubber and styrofoam could be so great. But my oldest daughter loves her and my mom even several white pairs to wear for work. I also felt they were 'girly' shoes even though I often saw men and boys wearing them too...I just didn't get it.
But then my 5 year old son desperately wanted a pink pair. I gave in...they were $5, I figured they'd make him happy and he'd soon realize they weren't so great. Well I was wrong, he loved them and I very quickly realized that these are awesome shoes, especially for kids.
Now my 3 year old has a blue pair and my almost 19 month old has an adorable little red pair...who would have thought that size 4 infant crocs could be so cute!
They can get them completely muddy and 2 minutes with the hose and they're completely clean again. No more muddy shoelaces, no more wet shoes out on the porch overnight to dry...they're great!
Who else has been completely baffled by a new fad...and then wondered what they'd do without that item? Any other fans of Crocs here?

I have three pairs and they're the most comfortable shoes I've ever worn!
I have the Beach kind in lilac and in black and the Mary-Jane kind in red. I love them!

My mom bought my 5 year old daughter a pair of them I had never liked them but then my daughter put them on they are light blue and have sparkles on them. She loves them and I like your comment about them being muddy and using the house we do that all the time!

I am a new certified cros fan. My aunt came from the U.S and gave me a nw pair of green slip on crocs and I really love it and enjoy it so much. Its really very light as if you are wearing nothing on and its good for outdoor and I love wearing it on malls coz it does not tire my fet and I just cant feel like jumping when im using it. Thanks to my aunt who was very generous enough to give me the love slippers.
have a nice day and happy crocing.!

They are a great idea, but god are they ugly.
I like the athens flip flop but they just don't look like they'd last for the price.
Do you know?

I think they are the ugliest shoes i have ever seen! But since i am all for comfort i am going to have to give in and try them, i see them in the store but they look so uncomfortable that i just bypassed them. However as i said in an earlier discussion the ONLY thing that counts when it comes to shoes is comfort, how they look doesn't even come into the decision. So i guess it is going to be a pair of crocs for me!

I thought the same thing, I even tried on my daughter's and asked how on earth she could wear them...but then my mom chimed in and said they are the most comfortable shoes once you start wearing them. She is a nursing assistant at a personal care home and is on her feet for the majorty of her 8 hour shift and says crocs are far better than sneakers or traditional nursing shoes!

Never ever ever ever.
Comfortable or not, I think they're hideous.
I can't wear ugly shoes.
I mean I think they're good for small children, but when you're older it just looks funny.
I admit I make fun of people who are adult and wear them.
They're just too ugly for words to me.

My daughter must have big feet. She is 16 months old and she wears a size 6 in Crocs. She loves them. She can put them on by herself, so that makes them totally cool in her eyes. My son had a pair last summer, but he has outgrown them. Last time we looked at some for him they did not have any in his size. I will need to look again. I had a pair when I was pregnant with my daughter. I wore them all the time. I left them out in the rain last summer and now they do not fit. Mine shrunk!

Well i had a pair for my daughter, she liked them they were so handy and all BUT i dont like the fact that when the kids are playing the dirt and mudd get in tru the holes and stuff. if that can get in thu the holes. i worry about glass and other things that should not be in there. feet are veary sensative. and that closest thing to the ground so easier to catch nasty things.

I love Crocs for working, or anytime, I have a white pair I use at work and I use them for anytime I go out as well. I want to buy a pair of black ones also. I noticed the girls at work were wearing them and told me they were so light and comfortable so my hubby bought me a pair for christmas and I've been wearing them since.
Have a great day

I just got my Crocs in the mail yesterday and wore them out for the first time today and I love them! I'm 50 years young and always thought they were for kids and teens but the more I heard about how comfortable they were, I gave in and ordered 2 pair-a navy blue cayman style and a pair of thong like ones that have a blue sole and tan straps.
My 25 year old son thinks they are dumb looking, especially on me, but I don't really care. :-) I figure at my age, if it feels good, do it!!
And I even ordered some of those Jibbitz charms and put them on. My hubby says their "cute". lol I bought charms that matched my interests so I think they're really unique.
I'd like to buy a few more pair, especially for winter. They are a ton more comfortable to wear than the tennis shoes I wear in the cold weather.
Have a great day!
Char :-)

I bought a red pair for my son (his favorite color) and he loves them. He wears them more than his sneakers. I have never bought any for myself as I have a few flip flop type shoes already.
I think I may have to get him another pair as his red ones look all worn out!

I love crocs too. I had a pair i barely took off for 6 months. I normally take shoes off when i come in the house but they were so comfortable that I just kept them on all the time.
