    Oh lordy - just been on the Taylor Shoes link....... wish I was back in the States!!

    It says free shipping EdiLass, but guess you have to pay duty??

    Its free shipping to US not UK but it is discounted by $3.99. I've ordered a couple of times, 2 pairs at a time and have never been charged duty although some people have. They tend to put value as $40 on the parcel no matter what you have paid and that brings it under the duty charge.

    These are the ones I want now ... http://www.taylorshoes.com/p-387-adara.aspx

    Be careful if you wear them to death - and I'm talking 9-5 6 days a week for a yeartype wear, the soles become smooth and on wet surfaces they're murder - my very first pair are heading that way :)

    I possibly can..... :D

    So if an order is under $40 you don't pay duty... I'm gonna take a good look!!

    Money saving my ar5e! :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

    No its unlikely your order will be under $40 unless you only order one pair but that is what they will put on the customs form :)

    and if you do get charged customs, then I was never near this thread!

    Just one more thing if you are ordering from Taylors you need to up your shoe size by 2, for example a UK6 is a US8.

    You have been very helpful!

    I'm already a bookaholic - now I'm a crocaholic too. :o

    I see you are a board guide - any chance of sorting out the idiot that is pent on insulting me on the gas and elec forum! I'm only trying to sort out a problem and he is so rude! I've reported him to abuse, so you may not need to interfere!

    Thanks for all the crocs advice everyone. Armed with what you have said about them and the amazing choice of styles (had no idea of the range they do) I shall head along to my nearest John Lewis (would they be likely to stock the most styles and don't you have to have a membership for Costco?).

    Cheers

    I have had crocs for about a year now and love them. I got the Cayman ones. They are so comfortable and I wear mine at work as Im on my feet 12 hours. Just got my second pair yesterday from Cloggs. Good price and fast delivery.

    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've been wearing crocs for a couple of years now and they're fantastically comfy - I can walk for miles in them. I also find that they're better than slippers for the kids too because they can put their wet feet straight into them from the bath. And "proper" Crocs are resin so your feet don't sweat.

    Ballox to the croc haters - I love 'em!!!
