Do Crocs run big or small

[kathyg]

Want to order some but am wondering about the women's sizing. Do they run big, small or right on?

what size do you normally wear? Maybe someone with the same shoe size can tell you what size of crocs they wear.

I wear size 7.5 shoes and have size Small W6-7. Actually, i have 2 pairs.

me too on the sizes. I now own four pairs. I'm an addict

I wear a 9.5 and I own a pair of 9's and 10's (Niles). Both fit just fine

I usually wear a 7.5 and got mediums because the strap in the back pushes my foot forward. Also, I have a wider foot. The medium is perfect.

they run wide. i normally wear an 8 or 8.5 b/c my foot is on the wide side and I have a high arch, but I can wear a 7 in the croc flip flops easily.

I wear a 8.5. The Medium Beach were too short so I got a 9 Cayman. I probablly could have gone to a 10 because of the problem shortbun described. I really streched the strap and they are ok but not ideal. The 10's just seemed so huge.

If you have a Nordstrom or Dillards they sell them in store.

I find that the Niles run shorter than the Cayman. The Athens is bigger.

I'm usually a 7.5 in a sandal or 8 with closed toe. The 8 in the Cayman was perfect. The 7 in the Athens was plenty big. The 8 was huge. The 8 in the Niles was almost too small - I had to stretch it a bit.

The small in the Beach was too short, but the medium was just too big on my foot (narrow). Just didn't work for me at all. The Cayman runs more narrow than the Beach.

So the answer is - they are very erratic between styles but seem to be standard once you get your size set in a particular style.

Their weird sizing is why I went and tried them on in the store. Plus I couldn't find them that much cheaper anywhere online.

I wear a 7.5 and a small (6/7) fit me the best. This was for the beach, I haven't been able to find the cayman in adult sizes in a store. I have very narrow feet. I bought mine at Dillards this weekend.

 

[kathyg]

Thanks for the replies. I normally wear a 7....Should I get a 7 in the Cayman and Athens or should I go with a small in the beach? Thanks.

The thing to remember here, is that Crocs are not supposed to fit like other shoes do.

Copied from crocs.com:


THE PERFECT CROCS™ FIT.

Crocs™ should not fit like other shoes:

They should fit very loosely.

The sides of your foot should not really touch the sides of the shoe.

Your toes should never make contact with the front of the shoe.

Once you have centered your foot on the foot-bed:

You should have about a 1/4 to 1/2 inch of space in front of your toes, behind your heel and when you lift the strap you should be able to comfortably get your finger between the strap and heel.

In other words the fit should be “loose”.

I know that this goes against everything that you have ever been used to in a shoe, but these are the parameters that the shoe was designed to be worn under.

No Pressure points Ever!



To insure that the strap is not pulling your foot into the front of the shoe, rotate the strap forward and determine if your foot rests comfortably in the foot bed and there is room all around your foot. If so, you have the proper size but the strap is too short. To alleviate this issue, work your fingers around the strap and stretch it as you go around being careful not to put excessive pressure on the rivet hole. Stretch the strap until it is just short of the back edge of the shoe. The resin material has memory and will stay at the proper length after one or two of these types of adjustments.

That last bit about adjusting the strap is where the dryer trick comes in handy. I tried and tried but couldn't get the strap to stay streched out like I needed it to be, until I tumbled them in the dryer on low heat for a few minutes, then wore them around the house for a few minutes while they were still warm. The stap adjusted itself perfectly, and it's stayed that way since. (I've done this with all 3 pairs I own.)

I remember them having a sizing chart where you measured the length of your foot and chose your size based on that measurement. It worked perfectly for me.

I was going to say the same thing but mine are 8.5 in a 8 and 9

One of the biggest problems with online shopping is sizing issues. Sometimes you order your usual size, but when you receive the product, you find out that either the product is too big or too small. You might not be sure about your crocs sizing.
Crocs are extremely comfortable with a roomy fit to enhance the experience, but sometimes it is misjudged as being extremely big. You must be confused too.So I followed this blog priceflavor.com/blog/do-crocs-run-big/for the right size

Interesting 1st post, bringing back up a zombie thread.

My favorite Crocs sandals only come in whole sizes and I wear a 7-1/2. I had been buying an 8 and one time accidentally bought a 7 and I liked the fit much better. It was perfect. So I feel they run bigger.

I have actually written a comprehensive article on it. I don't know whether I am allowed to post the link here.
