Because Crocs are such a unique style of shoe and now that they are coming in more and more different styles, its easy to become confused about what size Croc you wear.
I told this story when I first started blogging, about my first introduction to Crocs. I'd been out garage saling one Saturday morning and I had noticed a woman wearing these incredible looking shoes. I then continued on my way and an hour later I was at another garage sale and saw another woman wearing a pair of those peculiar looking shoes. So I asked her what they were.
"Crocs!" she said, "And I love 'em!" Here was this tiny petite woman wearing a pair of enormous Crocs.
I asked, "Where did you get them?"
"I had to order them online," she said. "When they arrived they were WAY too big. I was going to send them back for a smaller size but I couldn't bear to be without them because they are so comfortable. I live in them. I even do aerobics in them." The shoes looked enormous on her petite feet.
So you can see from this story that its easy to make the wrong choice in size. The first thing you need to know is whether the style of Croc you are interested in buying is a Unisex line. If it is then women, you have to think of choosing a size smaller then you normally wear in other more traditional shoes.
Keep in mind, on the whole, Crocs will run a bit large. They are designed this way on purpose for the comfort of your feet. Isn't that one of the reasons we love our Crocs? Our toes can have free reign inside the shoes.
Now the Beach model comes in sizes small, medium and large so you will have to get as close to your size as you can. You've heard the motto, "One size fits all"? With the Beach model, "three sizes fit all".
Keep in mind when it comes to the fleece lined Crocs for cold weather wear (the Mammoth) that of all the Crocs style lines, this is the one that probably comes closest to fitting your foot like a normal shoes. That's because your foot is meant to be nested, warm and snuggly like, inside the fleece lined Croc.
Ultimately the interesting thing about Crocs is that you can error and choose a Croc a little too big or WAY too big but they can still work for you because they are so dog gone comfortable.
