I eye Crocs every time I go grocery shopping — there’s a big old display of them at our local Henry’s Marketplace. I love the fun colors and the airy feel of them but when I come to try them on, I can’t bring myself to buy a pair. They just look so chunky-clunky.
We’re going away for a couple days soon and Tau could really do with a pair of beach-slash-garden shoes. Yay Crocs! So I brought a pair home today. Actually, they’re not Crocs; these are made by Skechers. Same diffs. He loves them!

They look fancy. May I ask how much they were? Ever since we bought our crocs back in South Afrika I have been aware of the many cheap chinese knock-offs you can now get at supermarkets for like 10$ … the sketchers though look like another good quality product. Cheers

Wow, Tau’s getting so big! I love those Crocs too but haven’t given in and bought some yet.
Maybe after the bar exam is over we can get together and catch up.
Cheers to all of you,
Jennifer

Crocs are a Colorado company, so I had to go for the originals… but they are SO great for summer! Yay Tau!

I am LOVING those crocs! I have to say, with guilt, that I bought myself a pair before I splurged on the children. I am a proud owner of the newer “Mary Jane” crocs… so cute!
Tau looks so beachy AND proud of his new shoes…

Crocs do look cool … but before we went to Tortola last Christmas I bought myself what are turning out to be the most versatile shoe I’ve ever owned: Keen Newport sandals. They are water-friendly, with a covered toe, and sturdy sole for hiking. I got the leather ones so can even get away with wearing them with a sporty skirt (ok, I know that’s pushing it). I was so excited to see in an REI catalog the other day that the fabric version comes in infant sizes!

Hyper has a big display too … but I think they are of the cheap knock-off variety. I’ve also been eyeing them … but I think it would be too much like “mutton done up as lamb.”

Tried another pair on today when I went shopping. Nope. Not going to buy them. I think it’s because my feet are so wide and they make them look even wider. That and the fact that they gape. Don’t fit properly. Not for me, unless I find a pair that fits better.
