    I'm off to Florida in 4 weeks and will be returning with a suitcase full. I have even got my hubbie to agree to go to Florida Mall on the FIRST DAY!

    The Florida Mall is a great place to go shopping but there is very little in respect to Crocs..... I know, I spent a few hours there less than a month ago!

    There is one shop that sells kids ones and 3 that sell adults. One of the adult shops only sell Caymens and have very few sizes. The other 2 have a few styles but again, very few sizes and only the popular styles like Caymens, Beach and Mary Janes. I found no where that sold more styles.

    There is a stall in the Mall that sells fake crocs - loads of sizes and cheap but I didnt buy any as I wanted the real ones.

    Your best bet is to order from a USA web site and get them delivered to your hotel.

    You could do a search on the crocs website and see what stores have them in orlando and ring the store when you arrive as it's usually free local calls..might save you driving all over trying to find the ones you want...

    Crocs from taylors have arrived today!!!! black mary janes feel a little small though and a bit too snug on my toes. Anyone else had the same experience. Think i'm gonna ebay them and order some more.??!! Sea foam sassaris have also arrived but with 1 foot still in plaster can't decide if they fit properly!! LOL LOL

    I'm a recent convert to crocs, and thanks to this forum have ordered 5 pairs (a pair each for all the family) from Taylor shoes. Unfortunately, although they left America on 30 April, there is no sign of them arriving here yet! Has any one else had to wait this long, or does it mean I have been caught for import tax / duty?

    I am amazed!

    I didn't realise what passion Crocs evoke in people. I certainly had no idea that I was opening such a can of worms when I was typing the OP.

    Yes I blame my credit card bill on YOU!!! :rotfl: Just kidding - no, seriously thanks - had I not heard about how comfortable crocs were I would have had a rubbish 2 day break in London - instead I just had a rubbish 1 day in London with the most uncomfortable shoes (sketchers trainers). The next day I hobbled down to Camden Town & bought my first ever pair of crocs - haven't worn anything else except my bedroom slippers for over a month now!!! And I now own 2 pairs with 1 pair on the way from Taylor Shoes!

    Oh dear. It looks like you might. They do say 7 -21 days international but they generally take 7-9 ish. The only time mine took 2 weeks was when they sat for a week at Customs:mad: . (I had insured shipping with tracking no so I could follow them step by step. Check UPS site to see when they left US & then parcelforce takes over & gives them a new number. If you enter the USPS one in parcelforce international tracking then you then track on the UK one...) It did me a huge favour as they track step by step & I wanted them before my hol & I saw on the website that they reached the local depot the day before my hol so I went & got them as they would have been delivered on my 1st day away otherwise.)

    "haven't worn anything else except my bedroom slippers for over a month now!!!"

    Watch out it gets addictive! I don't even wear my slippers... I ONLY wear Crocs since my 1st pair in October, I've only worn winter boots in the snow twice.

    6 months of Crocs, I thought I'd get tired of them... BUT when Crocs do a pair of warm furry boots I'll be 1st in line! I even considered the wellies briefly but they don't do purple for adults & £35 for a pair of wellies is a bit much for me!
