    That's unfair - when did you place your order BM? - did you pay full price?

    I ordered lunchtime yesterday and haven't heard anything as to whether they are in stock or not yet.


    im the same i ordered yesterday morning,my order status last time i ordered stayed the same (new order) for 2 days then i got my dispatch email, im hoping mine are in stock lol as my daughter has chicken pox and the thought of new crocs made her smile lol :rotfl:

    if this helps, i did my order within an hour of the original post, and got a dispatch email within another hour... perhaps they got a lot of orders later in the morning which has slowed things down?

    does anyone know if there's any difference in quality between crocs made in italy and crocs made in bosnia? these sports direct ones seem very plasticy compared to other new pairs my kids have

    They make tham in china too which apparently come up smaller than the italian and bosnian ones. I read on mumsnet that there is a difference in them and italian ones were favoured. :)

    I'm waiting for mine to come, DS has never had real ones before just copies as i refused to pay the prices, so i am interested to see how they fare, as the copies seemed to last well.

    thanks OP, my order of Crocs arrived today no problems at all, along with a "free gift" enormous mug which I have absolutely no use for :D

    Hah:rotfl:I've still got the mug from last years Crocs, sitting in my garage waiting to go to the school Crack a Crock stand in the summer fete. Hopefully they will send me another with my order:T

    I actually found the Bosnian ones came up smaller - I've had Caymans from Italy and China with nothing to choose between them, but last time this deal was on I bought a pair that turned out to be Bosnian - they were visibly smaller than another unworn Chinese pair I had, and didn't feel as thick-soled or soft either.

    I'm avoiding buying online this time for that reason, although I might have a quick look instore over the weekend, just in case.

    Really maybe thats why they are off loading them cheap?? I wouldn't have known they had different makers apart from the poster who pointed it out. I hope these ones are not too small then :)

    I picked up a few pairs today to replace last years. As cheap as the fake crocs at this price. Marked up higher instore but scanned through at the sale price.

    Bought some 'wet' shoes too. Reduced to £5.99 from £12.99 but worn them today to pop out to the shops in the car and have to say they are dead comfy.

    Ha ha, I bought some of those too!! Some for me, some for the kids.
