4.0 out of 5 stars Women should order a size smaller..., May 15, 2008

By	Susan "Sweet-Pea-Creations" (North Las Vegas, NV USA) - See all my reviews

crocs Athens Thong Sandal

I just received my Crocs Athens purchased here on Amazon. I was so excited to get them after seeing all the positive reviews and knowing the good reputation of Crocs. So I immediately opened the box and tried them on. They are soooo comfy, but unfortunately they run really big. I am a true Womens size 7 and ordered the Mens 5/Womens 7 but they were way too big on me. Mostly in width and the straps of the thongs didn't even fit my foot. I had a slight bit of extra room in the length too, but had they not been too wide and too loose it would not have bothered me.
So I have to return them, and unfortunately I am not able to "exchange" them (I am guessing because they come from somewhere other than and amazon facility maybe??? Who knows). The return process was a BREEZE, I simply filled out a screen here online as to why I needed to return, printed a RMA, a prepaid shipping label and I will hand it to my Mail Carrier for return!
I am now reordering a Womens size 6 (Mens 4) and PRAY they fit perfectly! Living in a hot desert climate, I pretty much wear flip flops almost year long and I have been searching out a great pair that will hold up for awhile and keep my feet comfy (and hopefully keep the "smellies" at bay LOL!)

Once I receive a pair that fits well, I will follow up with a better review...I just wanted all women interested in these to be aware that they do run big in the width and fit if you tend to have a thin, petite or even a "normal" size foot.
P.S. My Mother in Law who wears a womens size 8-1/2 tried this pair on (the womens size 7) and they fit her PERFECTLY.
Can't wait to receive my new pair to see how comfy they claim to be!

UPDATE:
This is an updated review to the one I wrote back on May 16th, 2008.
I received the 2nd pair I ordered (the first pair I ordered was way too large so ordered 1 size smaller). These are still yet way too large for me. I wear a womens size 7, and I returned the Mens5/Womens7 for a Mens4/Womens6 and received them today. I am so disappointed that they are still way too large for my feet. They are almost perfect in the length, but VERY large in the strap area. I can't even walk in them without them sliding all over my feet. They may be perfect for someone with a large or swollen feet, but women with regular, thin or petite feet I highly recommend going 2 sizes smaller now...
I was at the mall last week and found a Crocs kiosk and tried on the Womens 6 and at that point I knew the 2nd pair I ordered here from Amazon would have to be returned :-(
So I tried on a Womens size 5 at the Crocs Kiosk and they are a perfect fit! 2 sizes smaller than I normally wear. So I am giving up on ordering them from Amazon as I have to keep returning them, re-purchasing a pair and then waiting on a refund. I will be buying them at the mall since they are the same price. I normally like to shop online because I don't get out to the mall much and shopping online saves me with the high prices of fuel from making loads of trips around town.
Anyway, I just wanted everyone to be aware of the large size of these and if your feet are a "normal" size, or on the smaller size...take it from my experience, order 2 sizes smaller or try them on somewhere before deciding on which size to order here from Amazon.

Otherwise I LOVE them, they are extremely comfy!

5.0 out of 5 stars better than berks!!! better than slippers!!!, April 28, 2008

By	Patsy "thrifty shopper" (Mississippi) - See all my reviews

I own 3 pair of crocs.one is the mule type and 2 are these "athens" thong type. I am 45 yrs. old and I have never,not one time ever found thong sandles I could wear because they hurt my toes,until crocs.I don't work outside the home so when I say I wear them 24/7 I truly mean it.I have one pair that I wear outdoors and the other as house shoes.I weight 296lbs. (I tell you this because shoes and me don't get along" but these are soooo easy on my feet.My feet use to ache and now they don't.(I often forget I have them on at all) I spent alot on "Berks" until I found these and they are 100% better.they can be held under the water to wash off and when dull I just rube a little vasaline on them so they shine again. best $30 I ever spent.Oh, and the best part, they last years,My first pair are now 3 yrs old and are worn looking but the comfort level has not changed.

3.0 out of 5 stars Very comfortable but..., June 7, 2007

By	Ju-Ju "Ju-Ju" (CA USA) - See all my reviews

I really liked these Crocs for the comfort level, however they come up VERY wide. I couldn't have gone a size down so I was really stuck. As I said very comfortable but very wide. Also, the color I ordered was Pearl/lilac and the pearl does not read well on screen, it looks like an opalesent white when in fact it is a light grey. If you want a white shoe do not choose the pearl color!
