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.

Yes, I paid full price, around 9pm on Tuesday night. I ordered some more the next day at 10am (kids can never have too many crocs) and both cancellations came through together. I really thought I would have got what I wanted before the markdown on them. That is why I am so hascked off about it.

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?

I ordered mine about 12 hours before the OP which is why I was so miffed. I'd have thought they would have had them packed 1st thing that morning but I guess not.

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 pair of Disney and a pair of Camo crocling styles today, they are both made in china and the same quality as the ones my son has had the past 3 years, I just checked my dd's 2 pairs bought from another store last year they are also made in china. We paid £30 for DS's Disney ones the first year, so these are a great deal at £5, he lives in them all summer they wear well. (assuming you get the ones made in china there should be no problems) HTH

My daughters crocs arrived today (along with my lovely free gift ) ordered 12/13 as the size 1 I got off Amazon earlier this year are huge! The 12/13 are quite snug but there is a little room in them - just checked the sole and the amazon ones are made in Italy whilst the new Sports Direct ones are made in Bosnia - definately seems to be a significant difference in sizing - not to worry bargain price and dd is happy - many thanks op

Mine have just arrived I ordered 3 pairs for my daughter, 2 are made in China and 1 from Bosnia, the Bosnia ones are clearly smaller just by looking at them. Luckily I ordered a choice so its a case of which fit best rather than which colour.

Getting more than slightly irritated that my order from Tuesday only just got dispatched today so I am not going to get them until Monday.

To the person who ordered just 2pairs - last year I ordered 2 pairs of crocs and I got a delivery with just 1 pair in and got charged full price for delivery. They gave me the spiel about not giving a refund on delivery either.

I received Italian and Chinese ones in the same size - the Made in China ones might be ever so slighly smaller but nothing to worry about. Clearly different manufacturing moulds - writing is different, Colorodo wording on the side is upside down - could SportsDirect be selling fakes?

I think I'll check out my local sports direct tomorrow rather than take the risk of ordering online. I bought some fake crocs last year and they really aren't very good compared to the real thing. I love my real crocs, I go to a relatives caravan at Cromer quite a bit in the summer, the beach has quite a lot of stones and rock pools. The crocs are excellent for places like this as they protect your feet from the sharp stones but also allow you to go through the pools, they're all terrainers on the beach! Your feet don't get sweaty or smelly in them and they are so comfy. Having tried both the fakes and the real thing I'd defintely recommend anyone to pay a bit extra for the real crocs!

just wondering if anyone can help me with the sizing on the childs ones,

http://www.sportsdirect.com/crocs-license-sandal-child-225032?colcode=22503290 see these ones they have size 2 and 3, does anyone know if its likely to be baby 2 and 3, or bigger 2 and 3? suppose i could order a 3 then take a gamble whether they'll fit me or the baby lol, but dont fancy wearing crocs anyway but def not dora ones lol!

edited to add - just looked at some others and they have c in front of the number for the smaller ones so looks like they are the bigger ones, they prob dont even start small enough for the baby, ah well!!
