Croc shoes Worth it? Or forget it??

I wear an 8 1/2 in regular shoes, and the 8-9's in womens fit me fine.

Your local outdoor store (places that sell things like kayaks and mountain bikes) usually carry Crocs, if you have one close by, give them a shout.

Crocs rock! I work 12 hr shifts and my feet work with every other shoe that I have tried, but crocs are light and after 10hrs i'm energetic and ready to do the last 2 hrs without problem.

I have tried and like the 9 dollar knock off ones from Wal-Mart and love them to, they have some nice bright colors to choose from. The only problem is they are in the seasonal/summer dept of shoes and I dont think that they are going to keep them as stock year round. Although Wal Mart is known to spin on a dime if they see a demand for something and an opportunity to make a buck. All nurses in all areas should ask management of their Wal Mart for them and that nurses are using them, and they will have them as year round stock before you know it.

I like to wear crocs, I have also have a pair from All Hearts which personally I do not find them to be as roomy as crocs. Crocs are VERY comfy and say they are worth it!!!!

All dillards have crocs and Journeys in the mall. You can also buy them on ebay like me. I won the bid for aspens(no holes) brand new for 19.99. They tend to run small in my experience depending on the style. The ones with holes I can wear my normal shoe size but with the aspens I had to go one size up. I love them, feels like im walking on marshmellows. Happy shopping

i hate the anywheres, the balls on the bottom make me feel unstable.

I can't wear them....way too wide. And I have this thing...about holes in the tops of my shoes...scarey! Have friends that swear by them...but I much prefer comfort clogs...and they are much cheaper, especially if you have a very narrow foot like mine. Just MO....wear what makes your feet happy.

I love them! I have virtually no arch to my foot, so most shoes end up hurting my feet. But these.........WOW! I've only had them about five weeks now, but I'm converted. Give me crocs instead of tennis shoes! It's like you're walking on a soft and flexible rubbery/foam surface. Two thumbs up!

I just bought a pair of "Anywear" croc type shoes and they are soft and like walking on air. I have a pair of $10 croc knock-offs from KMart and they are too hard on my feet for work but I wear them out and about on my days off.
I haven't found any crocs locally, and want to invest in them but I am confused about the sizing---do they run big? I wear a women's 7 1/2 and don't know what size to get.

I wear a size 7.5 normally too. I got size 7 in Crocs and they fit perfectly. They have what I think is the right amount of looseness, but not too loose. They are a bit snug if I put the heel strap on, but according to the directions you can stretch the strap out if you need to. I just don't wear the strap. I tried on a coworker's size 8-9 Crocs and they were way too big. I know they should fit sloppy, but these were way too sloppy!

My only complaint is that as it turns out, they're not so good for giving showers. The holes. Yeah. But way comfy.

I really like my crocs. I trip over my feet occasionally because they are slightly big for my feet, but I find them quite comfortable, and washable too.

I love my Croc's!! My feet don't ache after a 12 shift like they do with my birkenstocks or athletic shoes.

Thank you all for the great replies. I am officially going to the Croc website and ordering the professional crocs. Thank you all again, I will keep checking back for more replies.:cheers:
