You'd be better off getting a pair of proper aquashoes - Lidl were doing them a couple of weeks ago so might be worth a look, or else there's plenty on the web.

Crocs do a proper water shoe (hydro) They are currently on sale for around £15 instead of £35. I got some for My OH from Sports direct.

They look awful and make your feet stink.

Enjoy!

I have copies and the real Crocs.. I bought the copy when I wanted a different colour, and I really wish I had not bothered, considering you can get the real ones at reasonable prices from cataloges using the discount codes. lol.

I walk loads, and found the real ones to be very comfy, feet dont sweat and more importantly, no blisters.. Took them on hol with me recently and were fine in the sea and sand.

The fakes ones, wore them an hour. Made my feet sweat loads and I had 5 blsiters for the privelege as well. Was not at all impressed..

On closer inspection there are a few differences between the fakes and real ones aside from the croc logo. The feel of the rubber is rougher with the fakes especially on the inside where the holes are and around edges in particluarly. Incidentally it is these areas that blisters seem to form. Another difference is the ridge things under the feet. Fakes are rough and uncomfy, whereas real ones feel really nice.

I've bought 5 pairs of Crocs Mary Jane's as they look more feminine and are so comfy. I've tried on other crocs styles (beach, cayman and the shoe type lace up ones - which didn't fit at all even though they are for men the sizing was tiny - would have needed 2 sizes bigger) and not liked them as much.

The only non brand ones I bought were the Prima style ones when asda was selling them the other year, as they were just a few quid. They're comfy, but a tad small for me.

Oh and my feet do sweat in my crocs, but they don't smell, and I wouldn't say my feet get much dirtier than in other sandals.
