Mel, I have 3 years on you, hubby has 4 and we both wear these. We ended up getting another brand, because the insole on the Crocs seemed to be less comfortable than these. They are "Nothings." I think these are available on the Internet, but I would hesitate to order them without trying them on. I noticed that the Crocs and the Nothings feel different in the toe area, and there is nothing worse than having PN toes squeezed... :)

Tell Alan to get with it... I bet Arnold wears them... :) :) :)

P.S. Where did you see Crocs for $10.00?

I got the Diabetic ones
 
and my podiatrist was soo happy about them...
What I did was go to a sports store that carried the regular styles, tried them on and walked in them in the store to see...and then ordered direct from the Crocs.com.
They are shoes that do alter and correct how you walk so I would not recommend wearing them all day the first day. I did that after my knee fracture this winter [I'd essentially been off my feet for a month] and I suffered horrid leg, tendon and instep pains from the shoes. I wear them often and am glad I got mine.
Many, many nurses I encounter wear them -those or Dansko type clogs [these cost over $100.] and they all love them. Even my C surgeon wears them! - j

Maybe I tried the imitation ones but they were so hard on the bottom. I do think there ugly but if they help then who cares. I know at places like Target they have similar for like 10.

The day you see me wear clogs, crocs, whatever you call them, well, that's the day I'll be in a bustier like Madonna. LOL

And Alan has to wear the oft-loading shoe. I can only imagine him with one oft loading shoe and the other is a croc. Hah!!! That is something I'd pay to see.

Mel, I would pay to see both of you in Crocs, and if you wear them with a bustier, I might even pay double... :) You would be so cute with your little painted toes, baking a batch of your muffins...

Well, I guess we might not be able to see your toesies... But we would all know they are hot pink... :) :) :)

Well, actually, they are not hot pink. Last week, I got a french pedicure. The lady asked me "would you like a manicure??" I never get them. I don't have nice nails so I just keep them neat and clean. I've never had them "done", well, it's been years. So I paid $11.00 for a french pedicure.

Light pink with the french line. Then I come home and someone asks me "why didn't you get a manicure, it comes with the pedicure". I said "you mean, I could have gotten two of them for $11.00".

Everybody laughed.

not me!!!!:mad:

P.S. I just passed the store where they sell these crocs. They were $2.49.
Would you like ot know the colors they had??? Bright Green or Orange.

Now really!!!!

We have a members photo album now...
 
see Forum Feedback. YOu have to be logged on to use it... can be found
in Quick Links...click on photo.

Time for Melody to put up some fun pics...maybe the bustier and crocks would be a good start? LOLOLOL Just kidding..

There is a delay in uploading...they are working that out since it is new.
Check the thread and see. It looks like fun to me!

I am definitely going to investigate these for work (if I return to work) next fall.
Many at work have them already, but I have to try some on to check that high
instep etc. I have to wear protected toe footwear, for liability reasons on the job. The tie running shoes, compress the nerves in my instep and cause numbness increases.

So thanks for that link... I shall think on it more! :p

MelodyL 06-23-2007 05:04 PM

Mrs. D.

Not that I'm stupid (okay, I'm stupid), I went to quick links and there are two people with links. Chemar and Kimmy Dawn. Now what is the next step?

Do I click on upload and follow prompts and it will make a new thread??

I have no clue.

Thanks,
Melody

P.S. Alan just asked me "are these crocks only for women"??? Honestly, I couldn't answer him. I just said "have you seen these??, would you wear orange crocks???"

mrsD 06-24-2007 07:02 AM

just hit upload and try it...
 
I have 3 pics there now, but the two yesterday went into a moderation holding place... there seems to be a glitch there that admin has to approve them.
Read the thread on Forum Feedback...

I would try it... since it is fun and they need the practice to get it going.

Crocs and similar type shoes
 
Hi everyone:

I have seen this type of shoe on nursing home personnel and wondered how they worked for them with all that walking.

I can't imagine how one keeps this kind of shoe on his or her feet? I would think they would slip off. And do you have to curl up your toes to keep them on, or what? I don't even like bedroom slippers with no heels! Please, you croc lovers, enlighten me.
