My daughter bought a pair of knock-offs and several of my friends have them but I still cannot get over the fact that I think they look "silly" I think the only thing that could make me buy them is if I bought the ones with the holes shaped like Mickeys-they are cute. I am thinking they might be nice for the water rides at Disneyland as I need running shoes for the support but I always seem to get soaked and there is nothing worse than wet shoes.

I wouldn't say I have problem feet, other than having fallen arches. I love them, and I don't mind the funky look... I'm a funky kinda guy. I have the Scutes too, which don't look funky; they're just sandals. Every bit as comfy as the regular Crocs.

Originally Posted By gottaluvdavillains I have the mickey ones...I love them!!

Originally Posted By lovethegoof I just bought a pair at DL with the Mickey cutouts and they are very comfortable. I have really bad heel pain in my left foot and it isn't so bad when I wear my crocs. That is pretty good considering I have heel pain even when I wear my New Balance sneakers. They are on my feet as I type because I've had this darned heel pain all day, when I put my crocs on it feels like my heel is cushioned by the heel foam. I was a major croc disbeliever until I went to DL last week and could hardly walk. I stopped at the Adventureland Bazaar and picked up a pair, slipped them on and was able to continue. They don't take the pain away, but it feels diminished and like I said my heels feel cushioned.

Originally Posted By lovethegoof liveforvacations, they were $37.95 plus tax for the red ones with the Mickey cutouts. The jibbitz are $3.50 each, I got a Mickey glove and Mickey ears. BTW, at the Rainforest Cafe they have plain crocs for about $27.99 but they don't have the Mickey cutouts.
Originally Posted By liveforvacations Gotta have the mickey cutouts or I am not buying them. The jibbitz sound adorable and now I know I am convinced that I have to get a pair! They retail for about $34.99 here so I think I will wait and get them there because then they count as a "souvenir". Thanks for the info lovethegoof!

I swear by them. I don't care a bit what they look like. Wish I had bought stock when I found and fell in love with my first pair
Originally Posted By Liberty Belle I just got the 'Sassari' ones - they're great, almost (not quite ...but almost) as comfortable as the regular Crocs and I can wear them to places I couldn't wear my Mickeys. I've just ordered a pair of pirate crocs, too ...
Originally Posted By DlandJB No, they will go in, but they work their way out. I lost a very special Dory jibbetz that way. They will work in the Pirate Crocs though.

I have Mickey crocs and 2 pair of Caymen which I wear around the house and the Mickey's to Disneyland of course. However I practically live in the maryjane crocs. They are my new best friends (high five to wonderingalice for buying them first and liking them Both the surgeon (podiatrist) and the chiropractor said the crocs were fine For my feet and my back. My 2 adult daughters and now my niece are wearing black maryjane crocs Along with my Dyson vacuum they are the products I love to recommend. They are especially great in the summer. I water the yard, give the dog a bath, go on the water rides at DLR and wash the floors with no worries about wet shoes or slipping. Have I mentioned that I LOVE my crocs
Originally Posted By Jim in Merced CA <Dyson vacuum> I love my Dyson vacuum too! It's one of those appliances that truly works as good as James Dyson says it will. I'm hoping the crocs will be as awesome as Birkenstocks -- another product that I like to recommend.
