Crocs in Galway?

JohnCleary · 13-05-2009 2:20pm #1

Anyone know where i'd get a pair? I need a pair of these badly, sick of using wetsuit booties when wading through shallow water in the summer

Yeh, they look a bit foolish but I won't be around anyone when wearing, so spare me the comments :pac:

Thanks in advance

You'll probably get them a good bit cheaper if you buy online. Try www.amazon.co.uk and www.sweetfeetshoes.co.uk .Sweetfeetshoes usually deliver within 3 or 4 days in my experience.

JohnCleary · 13-05-2009 2:42pm

Thanks a lot folks, yeah guess online might be the right job

How are they for sizes? ie. I'm a size 12 with almost all runners, will a 12 croc fit me?

Try Millets in the shopping centre, think they have them reduced

They might look foolish, but I bet they look better than the booties! Know quite a few lads who wear them boat fishing in the summer, comfy and cool apparently. Wouldn't be seen wearing them in public though! :pac:

That's the idea. I'm sick of wearing booties/wellies when boating and if you wear shoes/runners they'll get destroyed (feet don't be long getting wet as i'm sure you know). But yeah, wouldn't really be wearing them casually

They often have 'Crock knock-offs' at places like Penneys. I have also seen them in gardening / hardware shops, but not sure where..

I just ordered & recieved my 1st pair of crocs through crocs.co.uk, last week they have loads of styles shapes & sizes. Scooby doo ones even...
I have a fake pair from lidle but there actually is a difference.
They were here in under a week & the site was easy to use.
Yes my feet look ridiculous, I judge myself but they are so comfy its hard to care!

Yup, sizing is pretty standard, you'll be an 'M12'

They are THE BUSINESS in the water!!!

When you get them, wear them in the shower and the rubber will mould to your feet.

If you know anybody going to the States or Canada in the mean time they are super cheap out there and they actually stock much less goofy looking styles, still made of the same rubber.

They give very good grip on boat decks aswell.

I think they were originally designed in the states as a summer alternative to deckshoes.

Anywhooo, I wholeheartedly endorse them for no other reason bar the fact that I have me a few pairs, I use them in the water, and they are fecking great:pac:

Granted not the most stylish, but my sport of choice is anything but sexay so I take me chances;)

(Oh, and Anatomy down by CPs do them aswell, as do Greens in the Corbett court)

Thanks for the write up.

Crocs have loads to choose from, brill stuff. Don't know whether to buy black or navy, think i'll have to order both

The hydro ones look great for the boat

Was only trying to help:o

The Khaki green colour they do is actually very nice for a guy.

The Navy ones are a bit grannyish looking for a fella IMO

Black is, well, black.

They do a sort of a heavy duty style now aswell, they look a bit better than the originals.

Sweet jesus I know far too much about these things....but I guess thats what happens when you go to Canada and they're $30 a pair and you simply feel obliged to buy them, lots of them, cos EVERYBODY in your family quite clearly needs a pair at that price:rolleyes:

JohnCleary · 13-05-2009 5:06pm

Yeah you're right, the navy are a bit, weird tbh (Just that all my shorts etc. are dark blue, don't think black would go with them)

Might go for a pair of the green ones too ta feck

Am I the only one disappointed that this thread was'nt about crocodiles in Galways waterways?

Footlocker in town have them but not sure if they are back out on display yet - I bought 2 pairs during winter but they had to be got out of the storeroom - €39

ukgalwaymcguire · 14-05-2009 12:25pm

john before you buy some, try them on.
i got a pair online im usually a size 6, so i got a size 6
they are massive too say the least, they fit my brother who is a size 10, and they fit him fine.
even if you get a cheap pair online try some on in a shop for ya fit.
by the way littlewoodsireland are doing them for €16.99 and you get 15 euro discount when you shop with them the first time, so €2.oo euro crocs
and dont worry what ya look like there comfortable and practical, men look good in them i think anyway
