for my birthday my sister bought me a pair of chocolate crocs online. that color was hard to find locally, and i needed the color to match several work outfits. i would rather try them on in person. several places here have them, BUT, they arent the true BEACH CROCS. they are the cayman. cayman are more narrow and shorter for the "in betweeners sizes". if you read about the shoes (crocs.com)you learn the shoes do not touch the sides of your feet or the end of your toes. cayman do.
what i have found: i went to quite a few places locally. the tag says BEACH, but they arent. there is a bad back order of Beach. and my opinion they are using narrow, short Cayman's to fill in some of the orders. so, please, try them on!!! they have also now charging for shipping. now i am stuck paying that twice more and refuse to. i cant find a local store to exchange my birthday chocolate beach's. and still looking for my correct size. i was at Lebo's western wear on friday and instead of ladies 8-9. they had separate size 8 and separate size 8 and 9. the 9 was too narrow and small. all my other pairs of crocs are 8-9.
i would like to add that the flexabilty i now have is fantastic!!! its been about 3 months and i wear them in a office during the week and mow in them too. i love throwing them in the washing machine!
i do know someone that left them on the back step for about 2 weeks and they shrunk a size.
just try them on, i have even taken a right and a left from 2 different sets and told showed the salesman that one was 1/2" wider and longer thatn the other. all and all, crocs are the best!!
