I got some for the whole family - all 6 of us - each in the color of their choice. There are other brands of this type of shoe which are almost the same but a little different. I have both Crocs and Holey Soles (www.holeysoles.com) and although they look basically the same, I find the Holey Soles to be slightly more comfortable - perhaps just a better fit for me. There are also Dawgs which I have not tried. I will soon (May) be trying them out in DL. I am a little hesitant about wearing them there because they look - different, and do not fit securely like runners. I am sure they will be fine and I will see lots of other people wearing them ... right?

Originally Posted By amazedncal2 Dishwasher? I didn't know that, thanks I've been wearing my Disney crocs as house shoes since last November.

Last weekend I went to Nordstroms and while DH was getting new shoes I checked out the MaryJane crocs. Tried on the copper color in an 8, I usually wear an 8 1/2....pausing here to check my Disney crocs, they are a 8-9,,.anyway, so the MaryJanes were so comfy that I grabbed a pair in black too. When I got home I saw that the black "pair" had one size 8 and one size7. Shoot! Nordstoms is 40 minutes away and I didn't plan to go back for at least a month. I phoned the store and they are supposedly holding a size 8 pair for me. So, my heads up for you all is to make sure you look at the size of BOTH shoes handing on their little hanger. Duh, but I thought I'd mention it I did go to the childrens dept. and bought myself Mickey and Minnie jibbitz. I don't know if I'll actually put them on, maybe when we are in DLR

They are arent a fashion statement, thats for sure.

Big burly men, kids, women...it's all good. And I stress: I have Daisy Duck feet and some extra poundage and shoes are my (no pun intended) Achille's heel. Your feet will NOT be an issue. And yep, I would recommend the kind with straps for extra insurance. And on the Grizzly River....oh yeah. Your feet dry out in no time.

Originally Posted By tlovesdis I love my crocs! I have 6 different pairs and always wear them to the park. Just Friday I bought my latest pair. They are lime green Beach style. I am going to order a few Tink Jibbitz to go on them!
Originally Posted By joeysmommy Ok..after reading this post I finally bought some crocs at REI and I LOVE them. I got black mary janes and they are the most comfortable shoe I have ever worn! I could definitely see how wearing these all day at DL would be so comfy! They are not the cutest shoes, but I love them, and the Disney Jibbitz make them even better. I bought some on ebay for $1.99 each, but the colors are a little off. They are not "true" jibbitz, but that's ok. Mickey's face is pink, Goofy's hat is yellow and Minnie's face is gray. Did I mention teh shipping was free? Now I know why. Thanks for all the info on these shoes..how did I ever live without them. Can't wait for my trip to DL so I can wear them.
Originally Posted By JAYDOE well, I went to DL last October and had read a post like this one before I went. I had to try crocs for myself. I bought a pair and still took my tennis shoes.....I wasn't completely sold on the idea of wearing the funny looking shoes! Cause come on...let's face it...these shoes are kind of funny looking! But I have NEVER been more comfortable at DL then when I had my crocs on!!! I don't wear them any where else (the're still pretty funny looking), but I will ALWAYS wear a pair to DL!! :0)

I've never seen the Crocs sold anywhere around where I live -- so was thinking of picking up a pair of knock-offs. I know Sketchers has their version of them.
