I’ve felt the real CROCS at a shoe store. They didn’t have my size, however the http://www.crocs.com website has my size and should be arriving soon. The website is less expensive. I felt the knockoffs in Walmart – they felt like hard rubber tires – a HUGE DIFFERENCE in the knock offs compared to the real thing. Go to the website and save money but buy the real thing or don’t waste your time – with knockoffs, you get what you pay for !!!!

The Crocos did not work for me. Both pairs of knock offs that I’ve had have made a calous on my left foot around my toe. I wish I knew which knock offs to buy. Oh well, I should have just bought the real deal for my feet. The knock offs do ok for my kids. No complaints yet.

Crocs actually makes at least two of the knock off brands as I have a friend that works at the factory. I am not allowed to say which brands those are as it is suppose to be a well kept secret. That allows crocs to hold the price on the name brand while scooping up the bargain hunters.

i recently bought some croc knockoffs that are softer than the real thing and have bigger holes. they have no identifying marks or brand names or logos. i would like to buy some more but can’t seem to find them. i bought these at the goodwill so don’t know where to get more. these have smoother insole area. the crocs and most knock offs have sharp pointy little spikes all over and that hurts my feet. these have smoother raised bumps about the size of the holes. any help?

I have always thought crocs were stupid and ugly. Then I bought some knock offs for $6 to wear in the shower at the YMCA. I haven’t taken them off since. I am sold – they are incredibly comfortable. I am wearing socks with them to get me through the early winter.

I only wear the real Crocs. My kids wear imitations thought. Here in South Africa we pay R400 per pair and R550 for Disney limited edition Crocs. The children’s Cros cost the same! Real Crocs are much softer after wearing it for a week or two. They really become softer and you can walk for hours on end with no sore feet at the end of the day. I like the Mary Janes – they are a lot more feminine (spelling?). So, if you going overseas where you will be walking constantly of maybe have a job where you stand up all the time e.g. a teacher, you’ve gotta have them!!!!

I just bought some knock-offs this week. I said the next time I bought a pair I would buy the real ones, but I tried these on and really like them. Plus, they were only $12. They’re called Crocos.

I find that the CROC knockoffs are just as comfortable as the regular CROCS. I also found something really cool to accessorize them. NOT JIBBITZ. Jibbitz to me were a little childish. The company is called charmfusion and they do charms in silver tone and what I would like to call kind of a charm bracelet for your crocs. CUTE CUTE CUTE. You have to check these out. http://WWW.chramfusion.com.

There’s a big difference between the real Crocs and the knockoffs. The real Crocs are made from a material that softens and warms with your body heat, allowing the shoes to mold to your feet. They’re also resistant to the fungus and bacteria that causes foot and shoe odor. Not only that when I bought my daughter the knockoffs and it ate the back of her heels raw. I went and kicked out the extra money for the real ones and she’s totally happy with them. So take care of your feet people…I mean, you only need them to walk right?

The knock offs are great for college kids living in dorms. Very good shower shoes, then add socks and off to class.
