Default What am I going to do this summer without Crocs?

DS must be in a weird shoe place right now with Crocs. Size 7/8 are too small but the 9/10 is way too big. I am so sad!

We live in Crocs in the summer time, so I'm not sure what my other options are for good easy to put on shoes that can take a little boy's summer time play without emptying my wallet.

Have you tried different ones. I have found some to run smaller than others like the crocband.

We have had the same issue...and now they seem to fit into the 10/11 but they are getting blisters from the round thingy...odd. Polliwalks are another one people seem to like and IIRC they have more sizes.

Ooh, I forgot about Polliwalks. DD has some. I need to look into those for Ds.

We have never done Crocs...I don't really get them. Keens and Tevas are my faves- they can get wet (dry relatively quickly), some models keep toes covered and they are sturdy, well fitting shoes.

Another Croc lover. Try the different styles, some run 7/8 some just 8, etc. I have also been pleased with the CVS brand and they are dirt cheap. Soo much more comfy to me and my kids then the Keens. They are so hard to put on and cause blisters for us. Love hosing off the Crocs and even throw them in the washer.

I'd try different brands...

we've been really happy with Holey Soles - ones of the knockoffs. Oddly enough, I've gotten them super cheap at JoAnns Fabric.

I think the polliwalks run small/narrow. And I say this for dd1 who has super slim feet.

I was going to suggest Holeys!! DD had a better fit with Holeys then crocs, I think because the sizing is different!

Also, try different styles for the Crocs. There is bizarre variation!
