What can I do with my Crocs?!

    Don't know if it will work for Crocs, but worth a try! I have always rubbed soap onto my foot at the spot where a shoe is rubbing, this seems to stop the irritation/blister.

    I laughed today and thought of this thread when I read an article about certain things which you just should NOT take on your holiday this year.

    One of them was CROCS. :rotfl: Another was your beach thong.;)

    I was thinking maybe you could superglue a compeed patch to the area of the SHOE, not your foot! I think it may work.
    I love my croc flip flops. I've got them in a few colours as I have many back problems and they are the one shoe that enables me to last that little bit longer on a day out.

    Bizarre the way my mind works sometimes....when I saw the thread title I thought you had a pair of crocs you no longer wear and what to do with them......my first thought was to suggest you planted herbs in them and how nice they'd looking growing out through the holes.

    I think I'm just weird sometimes...I'll go away now! :o

    Have you tried shoe liners? There was a thread about them here the other day. If nothing works can you not return them (not sure on this).
    I used to be in the hate crocs and will NEVER own a pair camp. 3 days of housekeeping in a hotel with loads of stairs and extremely sore feet I gave in. The difference was astounding. I don't wear them anymore as work in an office but looking into the newer styles.

    Love is the answer. At least for most of the questions in my heart,
    Like why are we here? And where do we go?And how come it's so hard?
    It's not always easy,And sometimes life can be deceiving,
    I'll tell you one thing, its always better when we're together

    Thanks for all the replies.

    Since I first posted this thread I tried sticking blister plasters onto the area which rubs and that still didn't make any difference. In the end, I decided I had to restart my hunt for a pair of comfortable shoes which I have finally found in Clarks. My Crocs will be used no more and it is a lesson learnt!
