I can't upload a photo of them, but they are the closed toe sandals (not the ones with holes on the top), and they have the stap that keeps them attached at your heel.
This is my first pair of Croc sandals, and I am wondering how long they take to 'mould' to your feet? Do you get blisters if you don't wear socks? Are they as comfy as people say?

How are your shoes doing? What colour do you have?
My friend had them in Canada when we were doing housekeeping which was hard, sweaty work and she swore by them.
I must admit that I am too vain to wear neon rubber shoes but I suppose they are very practical. Maybe one day!

Honestly, they are no longer neon :-) I saw some in black the other day, and my pair is navy blue. Very subdued.
They are so comfortable!

Yep, but so much more confortable. And they're warm, too, even with the openings.

Woodpigeon,
I don't own a pair of these sandals, but I know from the many co workers at my job that they absolutely love them and feel comfortable when wearing them; and like I say, it's all hearsay. but for the type of job we do, standing on our feet for the majority of the day, it is recommended.

So far so good. I had them on without socks for a time yesterday but began to chafe. With socks, on they are fine.
I didn notice they let a lot of sand in at the beach this morning!

Crocs are kind of expensive here in our country. It was just introduced last year and it does make a great fashion sense you know. But i don't wear one and don't have plans of getting one cause it looks so bulgy and big to my feet. I prefer to wear Havaianas than crocs. (",)

They're a bit pricey here, too, especially when you consider they probably cost next to nothing to make.

My mom got hooked on Crocs 2 years ago when my daughter was in the nicu. All the nurses were wearing them and seemed to really like them so she went down to the gift shop and got herself some. They cost $35, which I thought was way too much for what they are made of. The only time I have known her NOT wear them is in the winter. I think she would wear them if she could but northern Illinois gets a little too much snow for that lol. When she visits me around Christmas time she always has them with her so she can wear them.
She usually get the dark colored ones (navy blue, black ect..) but this time for some unknown reason to me she got neon green. When I asked about it she said, I'm old so no one will think twice about how crazy I dress (I can't wait to get old if this is really truw lol).
Did you know they have decorations you can put in the holes of Crocs to dress them up? Little cheap looking things that cost $2.50 each here! Anything to make money, you would think that people spending at least $30 would be enough lol.

I do know if telling you this is a good or a bad thing, but (whispering) they have Croc boots so your mom could actually wear them all year around. They are addictve!
I had no idea they had geegaws to put on them. Probably best just to try to leave them unnoticed. I always feel like a little Dutch girl in my little rubber clogs. I don't really think they are so ugly anymore, just a little comical. Neon green, however, would be too much even for me, lol!

They look like they would be, I would tink that you would get blisters from them since they are rubber.

crocs are definitely durable. my husband, daughter, and I have at least 2 pairs each and not one has ever been broken or deformed. i remember feeling a little uncomfortable with my first pair, the one with the holes above it, but over time I got used to it because it is especially handy in any kind of terrain, whether its dry or wet. i live in a tropical country and the rubber material definitely goes with any weather condition. my husband and daughter both have wide feets so crocs give their tootsies ample space to "breathe". lately, they've come to evolve to look like the popular styles but I still prefer the big ones because I've come to grown comfortable in them.
