    Have now been and tried on some proper crocs. They touch against the third toe on my left foot. Other than that they were very comfortable. So I am ordering some mary janes online as they look more rounded at the toes and as if they will fit better.

    Hope you have a lovely holiday jeannie and enjoy wearing your crocs xx
    Third toe left foot - we could be foot twins!! Remember the hand twin of Joey's in Friends?? That is US :D

    I get shocks on just about everything in Canada when I wear my Crocs, the atmosphere is very dry in the mountains, it drives me nuts. Last week I bought a lovely very pale pink pair that I haven't seen in shops here yet.

    They now have a new name in my house. My Canadian boyfriend can never remember what they're called and complained that the house was filling up with my pairs of ... of... ermm ... *ankers! Spelt with a W, I cracked up and that's now what they'll be known as forever!

    Oh yes!! I can vouch for this point!! Mine are a year old and very well worn.

    I scared my dd's friend half to death by sliding down our wet path (paving slabs) the other week. I so nearly went on my @r$e!!

    Then I did very much the same in the uni canteen last week. :o

    It only takes the tiniest bit of water and they are lethal!

    I wore down my first pair a couple of years ago and they got very lethal too! I think that to promote them as non-slip is dangerous as when they wear they're the opposite of non-slip. Because I trusted them I walked on a slippery looking wet pavement and really pulled my back out with all the acrobatics trying to stay upright.

    Well, my sassari's just arrived from fatshoesday. They were probably slightly more expensive at £30.89 than other places, but I wanted the all black ones and they are out of stock everywhere in size 7.

    I have to say, they are the comfiest things I have ever had on my feet. They are fabulous! I have a really painful verruca thats currently being treated and its agony in all my shoes, but in these I cant feel it at all.

    I was going to buy myself a pair of Ugg sandals for the summer (Im going to California next month so I needed something super comfortable that I could walk for miles in), but now I have these Im not going to bother.

    Ugg sandals - thank goodness you mention them now - when I am all packed and ready to fly out tomorrow! Could've cost me more money.. :D

    I will give my crocs and third toe on left foot a good trial in Cyprus and let you know how we all get on :D

    My Crocs got mentioned in my appraisal (I wear Endeavours so no holes) and the comment was "Sally dresses appropriately for work but wears Crocks (sic) which aren't very businesslike"
    Er... so what i don't meet clients and I'm on my feet a lot of the day. Would they rather I had shocking blisters which I always get with real shoes.... ?

    I have tried to order some Mary Janes but can't find any in stock in the colour/size combination wanted.

    Has anyone tried the mj's and got any feedback on look and comfort please??

    I'm not sure about California but in Orlando its actually incredibly difficult to find a good range and all the colours you might want so I'd suggest if you know what you want that you order from Taylorshoes (free delivery over $40) and have them delivered to your hotel for your arrival. Email Taylors and they will help you sort it out, they asked me for my arrival date so they could put it on the package and I emailed the hotel to tell them to expect it. In the end I actually made a further order while I was there and it arrived within a couple of days.

    Fatshoesday have a shop nearish to me and they have the Adari in stock so I'm going to go and try them on but will probably order from Taylors.
