Are croc shoes white enough??????????

[RNSacht]

Okay, so I could not wait to get my new croc shoes for work I have a pair in tan and went on the website to find out they make special ones for professionals:monkeydance: so I ordered my "pearl white" shoes which clearly look very white on the website only to receive them and they look more like light grey. My hospital has a policy ..."only white shoes" okay so my question is "Does anyone know if these shoes are white enough for the hospital setting?????? Mind you I have to also wear white pants.:angryfire " I do not want to return them because I LOVE CROCS and want to wear them to work. Please advise.......

PS. I do not want to order knock-off brands because I really believe in the crocs brand. HELP:chair:

Ugg, some of the nurses at my hospital wear the pearl white crocs with their white nursing uniforms (they have to wear white pants and white vests over whatever scrub top they want). The pearl white just ends up looking dirty. However, I should add that the hospital lets them get away with it.

However, if you wear them with colored pants they probably wouldn't look too bad.

Thank you, I dont really care if they look dirty I just dont want the hospital to say anything to me. Thank you I will check for other responses.

I recently asked the same question. I ordered the Italian style Comfort Clogs and they aren't nearly as comfortable as my Crocs. They don't have the 'squishy' factor, and the arch isn't great; the copycats are clearly a different material and design. I really want to wear the Crocs, but I also have to wear white pants. Plus I'm a student and don't want to cause myself any trouble. But I'm thinking about getting the pearl Crocs, though. I walked a road race in Crocs last week with my 2-year old on my back and they were so comfortable the entire time.

Forgot to add that I emailed Crocs.com that it would be nice if their professional line came in more traditional colors. :)

To the OP exactly which model did you get? This model doesn't even look out yet says "coming soon" and they don't say pearl white they just say "white". Are they the ones you got?

edited: I see you got the ones "professionals" which are pearl. Check out the link above for the "specialists" they say white. Maybe they will work better?

I ordered my professional Crocs in June and they came in both "white" and "pearl" back then. My Crocs are "white" and they are a very, very bright white. The "pearl" color is more of a grayish, dirty white.
