Heat them in an oven at 200 degrees till warmish hot. Put them on with socks...They will stretch ...be careful tho...they stretch like puddy. Found a solution.

One day I left left them in the car for a few hours on a hot day, only to find that they had shrunken at least 2 shoe sizes, and one more than the other. I have an older pair that I bought in 2006 that this has never happened to, when I've left them in my car on a hot day. I sure hope that Crocs will replace my current ruined pair. There needs to be a disclaimer clearly displayed on the shoe boxes, or some new material composition that won't have this issue. I'm sure there are more people that haven't posted here, who this has also happened to. I recently spent almost $45 on a pair of bogota style crocs with the leather tops.

I tried them on when I first got them and I thought they fit fine. I recently wore them to work for the first time and I swear they were shrinking on my feet (HA!) I had the beginnings of a blister by the end of the day. I have wide feet and have always worn the original (unisex) version. One year my hubby purchase beach crocs and they were almost too wide. So I was really disappointed when the women's sandals didn't fit like my old crocs. I will have to try one of the techniques suggested to stretch them out a little.

I just poured almost boiling water over them in a bucket, let them sit for about 30-40 seconds, and then wore them around with a thick pair of socks on. They totally stretched out -- but I stretched them out too much so they were loose! The water in the bucket was still steaming so I put them back in for another 30 seconds, put on a THINNER pair of socks, and now they're perfect.

Next morning my crocs shrunk one or two sizes. The temps outside were nearing 100 degrees yesterday. Bummer.. I have arthritis in my feet and they use to be so comfortable.
