They have Crocs Ralen and Classic on the site too
What's the difference between Beach and Classic models? No Beach model on the crocsaustralia.com.au site.
May be difference in model names since sportsdirect is a UK store?!
Beach one looks like classic to me.
They have Ralen, Classic and Beach on the site you linked (sportdirect) — all look the same to me lol.
Look harder, different patterns and width too.
Good to check reviews on amazon to know the difference. From what I understand Classic is the softest material. Ralen good for those with wide feet.
When I see people wearing Crocs, I know immediately that we have nothing in common, and that we could never be friends or have any meaningful kind of relationship. They come in every color imaginable yet look bad with every other article of clothing ever created. The only thing that goes with Crocs is social ostracism.
To their credit though, Crocs serve as an excellent idiot barometer; you can tell a lot about people wearing them. For example, Amazon.com suggest products that other customers have purchased based on the item you're shopping for. Here are the suggestions for Crocs:
http://www.thebestpageintheuniverse.net/images/amazon_crocs6…When it comes to shoes, there are usually three deciding factors: quality, price, and style. Some shoes are cheap and stylish, but poor quality, while others are stylish and durable, but expensive. Crocs usually go for $30-$60, which doesn't sound like much for a shoe, until you consider that what you're really paying for are melted pellets squirted into a cast-iron mold in some province in China. Crocs have the rare combination of being expensive, poor quality, and ugly. It's quite a feat for one shoe to suck this bad.
People who wear Crocs go on and on about how comfortable they are, and how it's supposedly odor resistant because it's made out of some kind of anti-bacterial foam. Great point, dipshits! You know what else it's resistant to? You getting laid. Then as if the shoes weren't disgusting enough, Crocs introduced a product called "Crocs butter" that's supposed to restore that illustrious injection-molded sheen to those gaping holes they call shoes:

You know that feeling you get when you're full and slightly nauseous and you burp and you can taste the partly digested food in the back of your throat? There isn't a word in the english language to succinctly describe it, but I will hereby refer to it as: croc-butter.

Wow - that's a lot of hate to pour out on a shoe.
Reminder me never to ask you to describe how you feel about serious issues like poverty or child abuse.Afraid he'll copy paste an even longer shitty article?
Your reading comprehension skills are divine, clearly you read the whole post.
Hint, the last line of the post you fools, it ain't mine…..
epic hate right there.
All I can say is that it is comfy and durable. Perhaps the fashionistas sponsored by manufactures who make costly yet fragile footwear wants you to keep buying them and replace every few months :-) So they spread the hate to mislead the naive ;-)
So good for value conscious non-singles who want something that lasts and can be worn anywhere ;-) For those trying to impress with footwear, pls ignore the deal :-)
Seems crocs mean a lot to you LOL, you might not realize it yet :D :D
That was magnificent.
LMAO… Very entertaining post! My favourite bit is:
"Crocs have the rare combination of being expensive, poor quality, and ugly."
I can't quite bring myself to type out the phrase that springs to mind in full, (lest it offends) so I'll just say IFBIT.
Way over the top Hamburglar!
c'mon. enough of that long post hamwhisperer….just level with us…how many pairs did you order tonight?
You out to seek professional help for all that mental anguish you have.
Do you self harm by any chance?
I can't think of anything worse/more embarrassing to wear than crocks. I'd rather be a hipster. hahaha
I wear crocs with socks… very comfy :)
Thinking of grabbing a pair for beach and/or fishing … good idea?
Depends, will people see you wearing them ?
It is great for beach, easy to get rid of water and sand without removing. I even did snorkeling with them on, light weight and feet didn't get hurt with stones/rocks in water!
For casual use they are good, but not ideal for bushes or adventure trips as it doesn't cover your foot and hence leaches etc could get in, happened to me! But it would be too warm and sweaty if you get a full covering one as the material is not breathable, I think!
But they are solid, comfy and lasts a long time!
Is you're name Chuck Nolan and do you work for Fed EX? If not … bad idea.
"… and/or fishing"
I would defo' not wear them rock fishing; they're not good on 'extremely uneven' terrain; they're slippery in certain circumstances (I'm talking about the interface between your foot and the INNER sole in this context), and the 'outer/lower' sole would also presumably be prone to piercing by anything unusually sharp (like certain sea-life).
I bought 5 pairs about a year ago when there was a deal posted on OzB whereby you could get them for $2 a pair via a 'SportsDirect' order, if you ordered enough stuff to qualify for free shipping. Which I think was $100. The SOLE good use there seems to be for them (if you can get them for $2) is gardening; provided no one can see you. This is mainly because they can be hosed off at the end of the session with a reasonably high-powered jet of water.
Based on crocs aus website, the classic crocs cost 45aud a pair.
(45 - 24)/45 = ~48% offSource :
http://www.crocsaustralia.com.au/crocs-classic/10001,en_AU,p…i would rather walk around with my selfie stick taking photos all day than be seen wearing these things for 5mins.
Cmon you guys are being harsh, crocs is still the best birth control option available.
I know a lot of criticism of Crocs is half joking. I constantly rib my Harley riding brother-in-law about his penchant for swilling beer while wearing Crocs. The level of disgust displayed by some however is indicative of the critique's personality not the wearers. If how someone else dresses or spends their money makes such an impact on your state of mind I would seriously consider therapy. It boarders on psychosis. It's pretty clear to any reasonable human being that the boundaries of taste are almost universally an individual thing and constantly changing at that. Every married man knows that he has never picked an item of clothing for himself that has the seal of approval from his partner. Most of us look back on our teenage fashion sense with both horror and amusement. It's clear that Crocs are either a handy piece of kit to replace those constantly breaking thongs (or jandals for our Kiwi friends) or the lamest piece of footwear ever created. Whichever camp you fall into doesn't make the other camp your enemy or even wrong to wear them. This is seriously a case of people needing to get over themselves.
"I know a lot of criticism of Crocs is half joking."
You are mistaken. Almost all of it is entirely serious.
"… is indicative of the critique's personality not the wearers."
I agree 100% that no normal person in their right mind would/should care an ounce what anyone else thinks about the shoes they are wearing (unless perhaps they are aged between 16 and 20 and attempting to enter a nightclub in a trendy part of town?). For future reference, I think you mean 'critic', not 'critique'. Both are nouns, but only one can have a personality (I'm not trying to be a smart-arse, juz sayin).
"I constantly rib my Harley riding brother-in-law about his penchant for swilling beer while wearing Crocs."
This confuses me somewhat, given some of the other sentiments apparent in your post.
"This is seriously a case of people needing to get over themselves."
Conversely, I would 'seriously' suggest that maybe you should not take a product as ridiculous as 'crocs' at all seriously. I mean, seriously dude, are you serious?
I can't beleive how many people voted you down and him up, there's a lot of 'pro-croc' people here, clearly they still have internet access out at Hoppers Crossing, Dandenong and Logan.
Thanks for the grammar lesson. That's what happens when you post when you should be asleep. As for my good natured ribbing of my brother-in-law, I'm sorry it wasn't clear to you that it was an example of the half-joking (maybe mostly joking) I was alluding to. It doesn't offend me that he wears them however. It's just a very bizarre dichotomy on his part. I have another brother-in-law who spends all his spare time on his boat or on the beach fishing and he would never wear Crocs. Neither is wrong. It's not the product I take seriously which I'm sure you are aware of. It's the level of intolerance that somehow equates a personal opinion/taste with fact. You and @hamwhispherer posted some valid points. It's a shame it couldn't just be left at that.
Wouldn't get crocs if they paid me
So many snobs here.
Love my Crocs :)Owner's love, Onlooker's hate ;-)
It is just one of those things you would understand only if you try one :-)
And your Uggs in winter?
One of the most expensive, but also most effective forms of contraception.
Just because you keep repeating it doesn't make it true but it does make you sound pretty silly.
Crocs are not my cup of tea, but to spew hate on what other people's choice of attire is, is seriously pathetic (ie. you're the real loser).
They weren't mine either until I had my shoes pinched while overseas at a fish spa and these were the only things I could easily find that fitted by boat sized feet.
Now I wear them pretty much everywhere.I dont care about what the pathetic losers think of the look, I only care about the comfort I enjoy.
Genuine?
