    Probably a good job you did, I was in disney Paris 2 weeks ago and they had virtually no crocs at all :(

    We haven't been to paris disney before only florida but at these prices they are cheaper than there too.

    i have heard disneyland paris is expensive due to euro at moment so am trying to save where I can before we go, lol.

    be very careful. I bought 3 pairs of crocs from sports direct a couple of months ago, and have been in touch with trading standards about them.
    I love crocs, and have 25 pairs so as an expert I can tell a copy from a real thing - and I had 2 dodgy pairs sent to me.

    What was the problem with them? Have had several pairs from Sports Direct now (both in store and online) and they have all been ok. I did get a pair from a reputable US retailer which I thought were possibly fake, it turned out they were just very old stock and an older design so that's why they were not up to the usual standard. Maybe yours are like that?

    I ordered three pairs, which arrived within 24 hours, together with the free mug, so excellent service. I ordered size 5 (I normally wear 4 1/2), but they are a bit snug (having wide feet could be the reason), so will try a size 6 next time.

    It is, VERY expensive. I went to Anaheim Disney last year and much like Florida that was cheap. Paris is shocking :eek:

    For me, I went into a sports direct store and they swapped them over for me- just need the letters and bits that came with the item/s.

    I did think about sending them back- as they were so big it looked like I was wearing clowns shoes--AND I HAD THE FLIPFLOPS!! from what I could gather, you send them back, they send out a new pair, they refund the postage as it was an error.

    (I ordered size 7 because I am size 7, not because I am male size 7 women size 9, but because I am womens size 7, Topshop, Office, Kurt Geiger...wherever I try shoes on (with the exception of M&S which are massive) I fit a size 7. So I would argue its sports directs fault for sending me a pair that obviously did not fit, that said, I would not have to pay to return them or to get a correct pair sent out and anything I spent would be refunded.)

    You could try putting them in the tumble dryer on a low setting for a short time or heating them up with a hairdryer then wearing them. Apparently this stretches them a little.

    The size on the bottom is a US size so M7 W9 IS a UK 7.

    I'm a size 7 & when I tried some on they were too big for me too(width wise) but a 6 is too small(length wise) so I guess it's just not meant to be!

    Mine arrived M7 W9- I ordered size 7, being that I am size 7 in Office, Faith, Topshop, Asics... you name it, I am a size 7 in it. (aside from M&S where I am a size 5.5 and Puma where I am a size 8 or 9).

    When I tried them on, they were so big, it was a good few cm distance from the top of my ties and back of my heel- HUGE! I then went into a store to try to find the best pair that fit me, when I did, I checked the bottom which read M5 W7. Perfect fit.

    Guess I have odd feet- though Office, Topshop, Faith, Clarks, Nike, Asics...all don't seem to think so:confused:
