I wish they would do college teams such as the ohio state buckeyes
OK so to answer the above quetion, they sell U of Miami Crocs at the Stadium here, we just spotted them last week, anyway I love my Crocs, I first saw them when a friend had a few pairs, they werent popular back then like they are now, but she swore they were the best,…so this Christmas I asked my boyfriend to get me pair, well they were great and 10 months, 5 pairs laters, i am a true croc addict, i have even bought some Croc stock. Yesterday i went out and got me the Crocs polarized sunglasses, they are super comfortable, will be able to review them properly after I have had some time to use them…
i have 3 pairs of crocs and wear them daily but they are so dangerous in rainy or damp weather on flat flooring or pavement. crocs need to have better traction. very dangerous indeed. please pressure the company to improve crocs for wet weather.
Crocs are dangerous in wet conditions. very slippery on wet tile or pavement. needs to be fixed.
I have almost broken my neck walking into the tile entrance to our house on a rainy day. no other shoes are this slippery/.
please look into this
Why not OSU Buckeye Crocs? They are #1?
They do make OSU Crocs: http://www.cbssportsstore.com/sm-ohio-state-buckeyes-footwear–fi-1128838_cp-715787.716258.html
my name is melanie and i have three pair of crocs. my family loves them as much as i do too. I got my first pair when i was in third grade and still have them and now i am in fifth grade. I love them so much because their perfect for the beach and any season there is, whenever i go down to the beach ill always were them and to school almost every day. I think they are the coolest invention of shoes ever!
If they weren’t such a ridiculous price, as everything is in England, I’d have at least a dozen pairs. They beat my beloved Birkenstocks by miles.
It should be a regulation to wear them.
I Love em!
If I wasn’t a darn cat I’d have a pair too, imagine how expensive it would be for me.
Meeow!
On New Years Eve my friends and I tied crocs to firecrackers and blew them into the sky. From 50ft about us shards of demolished Crocs showered London. Our beautiful city shall be scarred forever.
I own Athens Sandals and Endeavor Clogs. Love them…but..my Endeavors have developed a horrible quacking squeak! I had them for 4 months and then it happened. I am so bummed. People look up when I am walking by. Sounds like I stepped on a duck. Crocs said it has happened to a few customers, I must be one of the lucky ones. I’m out the money now. They are no longer in warranty.
For Lynn,
If you get the shoes wet, the squeaking stops. Mine squeaked, I walked in water, they no longer sqeak.
I am very in to music.
I was at the store,and i thought these were the most ugly shoes in the world.I was eager to give them a try though.I put them on and right away,i purchased them.
So,back to the music part.These shoes rock out loud!I can actually play the drums better than before.
When these shoes entered my life,i completely changed my thoughts about these beauties.I even like the way they look now!
Thanks crocs for the gift of happy feet!!!!!
love them but have to agree the price is a bit .o.t.t
Im a nurse and our manager is trying to stop us wearing crocs saying they are unsafe because they dont have a full back in - please help us with any documentation / evidence to say they are not unsafe!!
I wear Crocs, both ‘beach’ and ‘aspen’. I like them because of the comfort they provide. But I’m highly unsatisfied at the durability of the thread at the bottom of the shoe. By normal usage, the thread worn off so fast and almost gone in less than 6 months. I haven’t wore any shoes that have thread gone off so fast. At the end of 4th month, I could feel that the shoe start to slip easily in any kind of Wet condition.
This really pose a danger to most of the Crocs users.
hi, i bought a pair of white crocs off ebay after purchasing a black pair from official stockist and loving them. however when i recieved them they looked suspicious ,i compared everything against the genuine pair and there were slight differences as the size of fonts on the bottom and they were made in mexico rather than italy….so any advice here to their authenticity?…many thanx!
I got my first pair of CROCS (UGA) for Christmas and from then on I was hooked. I currently have 8 pair and am waiting on #9 and my husband has 1 and is waiting on #2. Between us, we have Beaches, Caymans, Athens, Endeavors & Sassari. I love my CROCS and will be a fan for life.
Wanting to buy my 1st pair of Crocs, but can’t decide - Athens or Capri? I like the Athens styling, but is the croslite between the toes too hard?

almost broke my wrist walking down the street after a rainfall today. my friend warned me about the frictionless soles of these things when in certain conditions… i won’t let my pregnant girlfriend wear them now. scary fall. just happened so damn fast, and i have pretty good reflexes, really lucky it wasn’t worse.
I love my crocs! I accidently came across them while shopping in the Kowloon area of Hongkong earlier this year while on holidays. My shoes were killing me with all the walking around and sightseeing we were doing when lo and behold these brightly coloured clogs grabbed my attention as I walked by a shoe shop. I have an instant attraction to bright colours and so my eyes were drawn towards them. I tossed my shoes off and slipped on the brightly coloured mickey mouse crocs and wow they were a perfect fit and felt so immediatly comfortable that I just had to have them. The rest is History. They have hardly come off my feet. I wear them just about everywhere. My only regret is that I didn’t buy more. They are incredibly comfortable and I can even run in them altho I have to say I agree with other comments about their unsuitability when experiencing wet surfaces. My mission now is to find lots of funky badges to personalise my beloved crocs.
I just cant wait to read a story that says:-
I had a pair of crocs i got my leg chopped off by a elavator..I still wear them though..Well one of them!
I am appauld at the bs about these wonderful shoes. Ever since I was kid (a lonnng time ago), there have always been WARNING SIGNS on escalators. READ the SIGNS people and WATCH YOUR KIDS. I’ve never had problems with my shoes and I’ll continue buying them. When are parents going to start taking responsibility for their children when their standing right beside them. I’ve had 4 kids and they’ve all successfully rode on escalators without any problems, because as we approach the end, I always make sure they are ready to get off the escalator without problems. I admit they are intimidating, but COME ON!!! Pretty soon we’re not going to be able to wear flip flops or sandles. I live in the Sunshine State, Flip flops and Crocs are mandatory, so is going Bare foot! You just have to watch where you step. I guess it’s too easy just to sue someone and blame them.
CROC SHOES ARE VERY DANGEROUS ON TILE FLOORS WET OR DRY. WALKING ALONG THEY STOP DEAD AND YOU FALL FLAT ON YOUR FACE. I JUST GOT BACK FROM THE HOSPITAL WHERE I FELL FLAT ON MY FACE WEARING THESE CROCS. THE MANY NURSES THAT CAME TO MY RESUE TO SEE IF I WAS OK SAID NURSES ARE ALSO EXPERIENCING THIS PROBLEM WITH THEIR CROCS. MY RIBS ARE HURTING MY KNEES HURT AND MY NOSE HIT THE FLOOR FIRST. I AM IN PAIN BUT DID NOT GO FOR XRAYS. IF I AM STILL HURTING TOMORROW I WILL HAVE TO BE XRAYED FOR BROKEN RIBS OR FRACTURES. I PAID 40.00 FOR THESE BUT I AM THROWING THEM AWAY. THEY DONT COME WITH INSTRUCTIONS TELLING YOU OF THESE DANGERS.
I love my crocs but agree. Crocs are VERY SLIPPERY when wet on certain surfaces like tile/cement/gravel even when you’re just walking slowly. These would be perfect if they had better gripping soles. Currently you have to be careful where you step when it rains because you can slip without any warning and it’s VERY DANGEROUS. (walk very lightly and slowly)
BAD CROC HATERS ARE TAKING OVER THE WORLD!! I HATE CONVERSE!
crocs
shoey
I have almost killed myself multibple times wearing crocs. ok well not killed but deffinitely injured. slipped one time at work on wet floor in kitchen, cut my hand open quite badly. sprained my ankle one time in the climbing gym doing a “dyno” it was stupid. stepped on two nails one after the other one time (nails sticking out of a board laying on ground) so be careful. dont wear your crocs in situations that are less than ideal. ie: dont wear them doing anything more intense than basic walking. then you will be ok. they are not sports shoes, but i find them to be pleasant after having worn “sports” shoes all day. very squishy!!
People, pick up your feet when you are walking and you won’t trip/fall, etc. These are great shoes, but if the wearer doesn’t walk like a normal person, of course accidents might happen. And since when do shoes come with “instructions”? IT’s easy, put them on your feet, walk, take them off when you’re done. Sometimes stupid hurts.
I love crocs i just stay away from elovaters
Crocs are hopeless to wear in wet area environments because the soles have very little grip. I have had several near misses at work so the crocs have to go!
I love my Crocs and am on my second pair. I can stand in them for hours and have used them hiking, walking, yard work, even around the office.
BUT- once the bottoms wear down, they become VERY dangerous on wet floors. Even outside in the yard I took a simple step and was on my face in no time. This isn’t an issue of using caution or common sense. There is a design flaw.
These are the best shoes I have ever owned - but I am waiting for the lawsuits over the slipping hazards that these shoes posses that others do not.
I have 6 pairs (2 yellow, red, navy, red MJ, pink MJ). My wife bought me the pink mary janes as a birthday gift, yes, I love them. We were together and bought the red mary janes, so now we match. I wear them with eveything jeans, shorts, shortalls. I have found that they only slip on wet surfaces if they are worn down. My new yellow ones don’t slip on our boat, however the old ones do. Anyway, I love wearing them all. Guys, wear the mary janes styles, I get LOTS of nice comments from the women, so get some guts and put them on.
Are they getting more slippery as they wear out? I’ve worn mine to work for about 4 months without a problem but I wiped out when I stepped on my wet boat deck.
After trying Crocs the very first time last summer, I think my days of wearing conventional/athletic shoes are over. Crocs are the most comfortable footwear I’ve ever put my feet into. I have wide feet and conventionally, I would have to resort to a 4E width just for my toes to fit comfortably. Not with Crocs, thanks to it’s wide toebox. I have 2 pair All-Terrain; 1 pair Georgie (for winter); 2 pair Off-Road; 1 pair Endeavor; 1 pair Specialist (for work) and 2 pair Cayman. (I actually workout in these.) I DON’T CARE WHAT THE NAYSAYERS SAY ABOUT CROCS (I think some people are just simply looking to sue someone for big $$$)..I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THEM! & I WOULD RECOMMEND THEM TO ANYONE..especially W/PROBLEM FEET.
BTW: I’ve worn my Crocs going thru elevators (everyday) and escalators…NO PROBLEM. It’s called practicing COMMON-SENSE…which some people (especially kids) obviously don’t have.
I have a couple of pairs of Athens sandels, 1 pair of beach and 1 pair of caymens (for cold weather). My caymen’s develped a squeak. It’s embarassing! I found that if I put the heel strap on, they don’t sqeak but with it folded to the front, they do.
I wish they had more arch support as well.
My shoes do slide on wet floors. Nearly did the splits in the grocery store when I slid on a wet spot I couldn’t see (water on a while linoleum floor).
I think they are comfy but not I have been reluctant to buy any more due to the reasons above.
I think crocs are not the best looking shoes out there but they are so comfy, so for that matter I have 7 pairs of crocs, different styles, beach, mammoth, wrking boots, athens and the one I just bought last friday, the off road style on which I like it better than any other crocs, besides my flip flops. I use my boots to work a lot, and sometimes they are a little slippery on the wet floor but I just try to be careful no to fall.
I have had three very serious falls in my crocs. At the pool, I went to use the rest room (tile floors) and fell flat on my back and broke my elbow. The floors were wet; I took one step and the shoe felt like it was on butter. The croc was only 2 months old and was the sandal version. I have also had two wipe outs on my garage floor (cement) coming in from the rain. I am glad to hear that this is a problem for others. I want Crocs to know and change the design or issue a warning about wet/slippery surfaces.
Wow, I had a BAD slip and fall in my Crocs on wet pavement the other day. I’ve always had problems with that, thought mine were the only defective pair! I wrote to the company but am not expecting a response.
I’ve also found that my Crocs are very dangerous to wear on certain street paving, especially wet tiles. Its like walking on ice and I need to walk really slowly over it. I have not experienced this with any other forms of shoes.
Please people.. be careful, luckily no broken bones but I could easily imagine someone slipping and hitting the head. I’ve cautioned my family about this since they also wear crocs but now none of them wear in wet weather.
I love my Crocs but I am getting tired of slipping and falling in them. They SHOULD be the perfect shoe to wear in wet conditions, but they are very, very dangerous. I have had two pretty serious falls, and trust me…..I KNOW how to walk and I am not looking to sue anyone. Just would really like the design flaw fixed. Living in Florida with afternoon summer thuderstorms, they are extremely dangerous on even slightly wet, asphalt parking lots. I have NEVER had a problem like this with any other flip flop or sandal, and that is all I wear here. Please, please fix this problem. I love the shoes, but really don’t want to fall — they have the potential to be the best shoes, but this is a very serious issue.
I fell down at a mall parking lot the other day. It started to rain and I was not walking fast at all. I slipped on a left turn arrow! I was able to catch myself using my hand and my right leg. Fortunatly nothing scraped or broken, but I was sooooo sore the past few days. I love my crocs, but they’re dangerous in wet conditions.
Re: Post 3. That’s very odd. I have two pairs of the athens model, and worn them in rain; slick surfaces, ie. wet floors in stores, on boats, etc., with no problem! The designers set out to make a comfortable, non-slip boat shoe, and went from there. I wonder which model you’re talking about?
Wow! I just read the rest of these posts about slipping. I’m shocked! I’ve never encountered that. And no, I don’t work for Crocs.
well i have never owned crocs, until now!When i was gonna get em but i was broke. im gonna be the most stylish kid in the class! I mean they don’t realy go with any thing exept bell bottom jeans though. I mean,skinny jeans make your feet look huge. when my mom first offered to buy me some, they wer’nt that stylish. but now i luv them! oh yeah, shorts just dont look right. only bell bottom jeans. so good thing i have like 60 bell bottoms! :P
My wife and I agree that Crocs are dangerous on wet tile and wet smooth cement. I have an All Terrain and she has a Cayman and both are crap on certain surfaces. I’d like to contribute the problem to wear but the first time I slipped was on the 2nd day I owned them! You’d think that something designed to keep people from slipping and falling on boats would not do that. It really sucks because they’re the most comfortable shoes otherwise! I’m looking for alternatives now.
I deliberately googled slippery crocs to see if anyone else had this problem. I love the convenience of the Crocs but have to say they are deadly on wet surfaces once the bottoms get worn down. They are deadly. I try to remember not to wear them when it rains but sometimes forget or sometimes it starts raining after. When it rains I walk as slowly and carefully as I can but I still almost fall, EVERY time. Some surfaces like pavement are ok, but when you hit tile or marble that’s it, they just go out from under you like on ice. I really think this company is gonna end up getting sued, and I’m not a sue happy guy. But I’m sure someone will do it. The other week I was walking with friends, being careful, and I mentioned how deadly they were on wet surfaces (it was raining at the time) and just as I said they were deadly dangerous, my feet went out from under me. I can’t even walk normal on certain substances, it’s literally like the slow shuffle you do on ice to not fall down.
The first time i saw crocs i was horrified. I could not believe someone would care so little about their appearance that they would go out in public in such a shoe. Then i saw a MAN wearing BRIGHT PURPLE crocs. I was disgusted (haha). But seriously…
So one summer i was visiting my sister (who I’ve always considered to be very fashion forward) and she had a pair of lime green and fushia athens. I thought she had lost her mind. However, i got curious and tried them on and they were insanely comfortable but i still was shocked when she actually went into the grocery store wearing those things.
Later on that summer i gave in and bought a pair of the flip flogs (i cnat remember what they were…not athens and not capri). They were slightly less…colorful…they were just white and light pink. They were comfortable and i enjoyed wearing them around the pool and around my house but soon enough i realized how much it hurt in between my toes when i wore them for longer periods of time. Recently i got a pair of bright pink and orange athens. They are much more comfortable than my other ones and wearing those on my feet around the house all day is much much better than going barefoot. My feet thank me :) I still try not to be seen in public with them though. AND as far as the original looking crocs with the holes in them…those just arent for me. I’ll admit that some people can pull off that look, but i wont be trying to any time soon.
DO NOT WEAR CROCS WHILE BIKING!!
One of my Crocs became stuck to my bike pedal while I was going very fast. I found myself flying over the handle bars and onto the ground. Luckily I was not seriously injured.
I picked up my bike to find my Croc had lodged itself into my back tire spokes sending me over the bars. Somethings must be learned the hard way I suppose.
I purchased the new Baja in women’s size 8 because all my other crocs (5 pairs) are size 8. These shoes are 1 whole size too small! I put them up against my Athens and they are at least 1″ shorter than the Athen’s. Now I have to pay 7.00 to return them and another 10.00 get get a replacment pair because this is not a “warranty” issue aka defect. I am going to be out 17.00 dollars because crocs is inconsistant in sizing? Not right! I think I’m switching to a company with better cusomer care and service.
My Athen’s slip on wet floors. The first time I almost did the splits in the grocery store. It’s only on shiny type floors. Cement is not a problem at all. Also, both pairs of my Caymen’s squeek horribly.
I think I’m done with crocs. Comfort is not worth the danger on certain floors and the looks I get like I’m stepping on a duck or passing wind!
My son broke his leg this weekend, going down a slide while wearing his crocs, He went to slide and his foot met resistance with the slide and twisted his leg around and now my 2 year old is in a cast for at least 6 weeks. I don’t think I like them anymore. I didn’t realize they shouldnt be worn at a playground :(
I have plantar faciitis and these are the only shoes that are not hurting my feet. But yes they are SLIPPERY on wet surfaces. I have to walk like one of my Parkinsons patients when it’s wet. Isn’t there anything you can put on the sole to fix this?
