    Product Description
    The Caymen from Crocs is comfortable, cool and moulds to your feet. It has an orthotic footbed with an advanced toe box ventilation system and has lots of ergonomic Italian styling! Weighs a few ounces and has a slip-resistant, non-marking sole too Originally, Crocs Shoes were intended as a boating/outdoor shoe because of its slip-resistant, non-marking sole. By 2003, Crocs Footwear had become a bona-fide phenomenon, universally accepted as an all purpose shoe for comfort and fashion. They are committed to making a lightweight, comfortable, slip-resistant, fashionable and functional shoe, which can be produced quickly and at an affordable price to their customers.


    This is what I have read about them on Amazon advert, a customer review on there said that they are anti bacterial and machine washable!! How true that is, I don't know...

    I love Crocs! They look better on smaller feet though :D

    I am size 4/5 so they look OK.. but then the Mens ones look hideous I think !

    My little one loves hers, they are bright yellow and she has the Jibbitz on them..

    I had a pair in pastel pink and wore them to the bitter end last Summer.. I will get another pair but I only ever intended mine for around the house... then ended up wearing them all the time! :eek:
    :cool:

    I've read that they are good for circulation, help if you have osteoarthritis (don't have it yet..) have anti fungal properties etc etc.

    I could wear mine with shin high socks - just so that the Cypriots will be doubly sure I'm a Brit on holiday :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

    I got hubby some of these

    But I'm not letting him wear them with socks:o

    I've been trying to 'click' on all the 'thanks' to you all but it only worked on one!

    Treliac, I've heard its best to stick the genuine Crocs... not sure if this is true.. Also, bit concerned about the rubbing toe business.. - what style were these ones? I'm looking at the Cayman crocs..

    MrsE - due to fly off on 25th - we keep having to put it on hold due to Gramps being ill. He picked up and it was agreed that two of us would go and may be the third would come out for a few days. Then Gramps picked up even more and it looked ok to all go. Then he took another bad turn a few days back and it looked like none of us would be going anywhere. He's stable at the moment, we've been in 'limbo land' for the past month. :o

    Bit concerned with that link MrsE.... first shoes that came up looked possibly a bit 'camp' for your hubby, but then I don't know him... :D

    Thanks jeannie. They were very bottom end of the market, Peacocks and Shoe Zone or something like that. I'll have to move up and try Tesco :cool: !! But the design fault is probably with my feet.

    Hope all goes well for your hols. Have just checked the BBC weather - it's 35 degrees at Polis today. A bit better than here ...
