Real Crocs vs. Knock-offs

• Real Crocs vs. Knock-offs griffinej5 Posted : 6/23/2007 4:08:21 PM Is there really a big difference? I've only ever worn the fake ones, and I am not that impressed. However, I do like some of those jibbitz things they make for the real crocs, and I was debating with or not I should get some. So, the question is, are they really that much better? Should I get a pair? LIKE 39 REPLIES 1808 VIEWS LAST POST TACRAN Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

• fuzzy_dogs_mom Posted : 6/23/2007 4:26:56 PM I'm not super impressed with the real ones, either - mainly because they don't come in 1/2 sizes.  I wear a size 7 so the womens' small (sizes 5 - 7) is just a tad too small and rubs my toe  but the womens' medium (sizes 8 - 9) is way too big.  From now on if I buy any more, I'll just get the knock-offs.   Joyce 0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

• jennie_c_d Posted : 6/23/2007 4:37:00 PM For me, it's real crocs, or nothing. I even  have the flip-flops! I'm on my feet 12 hours or more, every single day, and I have orthopedic "issues". Crocs are the only shoes I'm remotely comfortable in.   Then again, I'm a freak[] Most shoes hurt my feet. 0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

• rolenta Posted : 6/23/2007 5:59:04 PM I tried on crocs in the mall for the first time yesterday. I really have to get some. I can't stand wearing regular shoes and socks because my feet get really hot and swollen (especially this time of year) but my flip flops make me pretty sore. 0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

• smilee1079 Posted : 6/23/2007 6:33:05 PM I just got crocs mary janes.  They are comfy.  I have been told that the fake ones are cheap for a reason and that they don't do the same no smell and forming to your foot as the real crocs. Also, keep in mind they should fit loosely.  You can print a size chart at crocs.com. 0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

• calliecritturs Posted : 6/23/2007 6:43:34 PM Aren't they mega hot?  I would think your feet would sweat in them (and haven't even tried them on). 0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

• griffinej5 Posted : 6/23/2007 9:36:53 PM Ok, I guess i've gotta go get a pair tomorrow. All of my sandals keep rubbing my feet. I replaced my old ones with a new pair. They're the exact same as the ones I used to have, but i've got a raw spot around where the strap bends back on to itself. 0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

• boneyjean Posted : 6/23/2007 10:16:03 PM I got my first pair last winter and absolutely LOVE them!  I have never worn the cheap ones but I suspect they are just a know off and not as good.  I was looking at the ballet slippers, the flip flops, the maryjanes and the wedges today at Dillards and almost got some but I had already made a lot of large purchases today and felt too guilty to spend another dime!  Maybe next weekend.  I have been wanting a pair for summer for awhile.   I will say, they suck in the winter when it's raining but that is the only time.  Next year I plan to get the ones with no holes for winter. 0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

• Xebby Posted : 6/23/2007 10:37:40 PM I so want the reals ones! I have a pair of $5 knock offs that I bought to just wear around the house and ended up wearing them everywhere. BF has the real ones and when I put my feet in his I can really tell the difference. If they didn't cost so much I would get me some real ones. I really don't care how funny I may look in them I just think they are so comfortable. 0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

• chelsea_b Posted : 6/23/2007 10:46:02 PM LOL, Rebecca, do you live under a rock? [] They're only the trendiest, ugliest shoes on the planet (okay, so I totally want some if they're as comfy as everyone says, but you have to admit they're ugly as SIN).   0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

• Ihearthuskybutts Posted : 6/23/2007 10:47:06 PM I love my Crocs. It's hard to go back to 'real' shoes after you've worn Crocs! I bought a pair for my Mom and Dad. I converted them! They love them too. They're soooo comfy and practical! I wear them until it gets too cold out, then I switch to my Uggs. A lot of my fashionable friends give me crap for wearing them, but I don't care! I think any nay-sayers just haven't tried them. They're perfect shoes for doing dog yard stuff. I can hose off my feet while still wearing them. 0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

• tina robinson Posted : 6/23/2007 10:51:49 PM My son had the Disney Crocs and he seems to like them I flat out refuse to wear them the are just to fugly for me. I love my Nike sandels and will continue to wear them, but for kids I would defiantly suggest them, his feet will smell if he doesnt have good foot wear and they dont in these. 0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

• Xebby Posted : 6/23/2007 10:52:00 PM I do like some of those jibbitz things they make for the real crocs I heard from a relative on mine that a housewife in Texas created those things and sold the patten for something like a million dollars. I kinda like them but at one store in the mall I saw those jibbitz being sold for almost the same price as the shoe. 0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.
