I love my Crocs. They are just so comfortable and also great to wear around water. Much quicker to dry out than my Tevas. And they float! However they do have a bad point. They shrink, believe it or not.
We did a long traverse of the Davis Path this past Saturday. We had spotted cars and I left my Crocs in the back seat of the spotted car. When we got back to the car from our long hike, I took off my boots and socks and was really looking forward to sliding my feet into my Crocs.
I couldn't believe it. My feet wouldn't slide in. I checked to see if something was blocking my feet from entering. Nope, nothing there. I thought that maybe my feet had swelled up from the long hike so maybe that's why I couldn't get my Crocs on. And I don't recall ever having a problem with my feet swelling no matter how far I've hiked. What could it be?
I mentioned to my wife that maybe they shrunk while sitting in the heat of a closed up car in the sun? I couldn't believe that could happen but hey anything is possible.
I gave my feet a few days to recover from the hike and guess what, they still won't slide into my Crocs. The Crocs really did shrink!!
I googled "Crocs shink" and other people have had the same problem. Crocs can and do shrink if you leave them in a closed up hot car in the sun. I never would have thought that.
So let this be a warning to you. Keep your Crocs cool or you may never wear them again!
