CrocsWomen's Kadee Ii Sandal Sandal, Orchid, 41/42 EU

Expecting it to be of more better quality from crocs

OK, it is three years since I bought my last pair of Crocs Sandals. The last pair are still really good, but I liked the look of this pretty pink.The fit of this sandal for me is wide at the toe end, and it is a generous fit on my UK 6 feet. I am an average width.I also feel that the sole is thinner, and for me, this makes the front end of the shoe catch on paving slabs - it feels a bit flappy.The quality does not seem so good, and I wish now that I had returned straight away, rather than thinking I will 'give them a try'....The quality these shoes will make me wary about future purchases., which is a shame as I have been a fan for years.Delivery was prompt.

I wanted a comfortable pair of sandals to use indoors. It had to be waterproof so I could use it right after a shower, to have a good grip as I am always carrying my newborn, and to allow me to wear socks when it is cold. As I chose the white model (I guess not many people wanted it as it would get too dirty outside - while indoors it is perfect) the price was further reduced. This is exactly what I wanted, for what I wanted and I have been using it every day. It is much better than flip flops, which felt unsafe when I went down the stairs with my baby, even more so when I hady socks on. I am very happy with my purchase.

Firstly, I ordered my correct size 5 but they seemed a bit too small and uncomfortable so I exchanged them for the next size up.This was still the case. They're not easy to slip on and off the plastic material make it hard fir this, so you have to struggle with your feet and move the top bits around to get your foot sat in it comfortably.I walked around the house in them for about 10 minutes and my feet got a little sweaty and irritable - I think this is due to the plastic material they're made from and I didn't find them very comfortable.

I must have about 10 pairs of Crocs... evidence that I'm usually a very satisfied buyer. But this latest pair just don't feel like the real McCoy. They are exceptionally lightweight - almost like the packaging material for something breakable. Then the soles: they're so flimsy/flexible they bend backwards underneath your toes if you brush a stair or obstacle. A real trip hazard. In short, they don't provide that ideal combination of comfort underfoot with toughness of the sole. Walking the cliffs as I do in all my other pairs, I don't feel individual rocks poking through. With this pair, I do. They just don't feel as robust as we've all come to expect of Crocs. I see this pair is made in Vietnam: is that the norm? Please, Crocs: can you look at reordering stocks of Cleo open toe sandals, Serena sandals and women's Sexi Flips? I've been trying to re-order all summer. Thousands of 4/5 star reviews suggest it would be more than worth the effort. And please - don't cut corners on quality!

I have been looking for some blue crocs for a while and was pleased to find these. They are lighter weight than my others but the sole shape is not quite a good for my feet. The toe area is very wide and the bump where your toes go could do with being slightly further forward for me. As I am not intending walking far in them I use them as slippers they will do the job.
