$6 "crocs" at Dollar General stores

[norub]

(Feb 22) Was just in Dollar General today (this is the big discount chain store, has a yellow blocky-font sign). Not to be confused with Family Dollar, Dollar Tree, etc.

Anyway, they had "croc" knockoffs in adult sizes for six bucks! They looked identical to the name-brand ones that sell for 29.99 most places.

Just FYI if anyone needs "croc" type shoes on a budget.

will have to check them out---probably lighter than the original too.

If you have a Fred's in your area, I purchased a couple of pair at $7.85/pair. They are more comfortable than those I took on my hike.

I bought a pair of the DG 'Crocs' - they are a bit lighter and more comfy than my real Crocs.

For $6 I may try 'em. What colors do they come in?

[Frolicking Dinosaurs]

Black, navy blue, dark brown and tan. I also saw some in smaller sizes in marine blue, pink and yellow.

For that price you can have a pair in every color. Wear a different color on each foot and make a fashion statement.

Glad to hear they are in DGs elsewhere too. What a great deal!

Mine had them here in VA - all womens sizes 11 or size 6. (!)
But I have three pair from Payless so I'm doing okay.

Thanks to this post, I picked up a pair in a DG here. They weigh 7.8 ounces, my real crocs weigh 11 oounces.

Got mine here in Croswell, MI

If they have them here, they must have them everywhere! Very comfortable.

Question:

Does the heel strap swing back like the real McCoys or are they for show only? Seem to be tightly fastened in the forward position. I don't wand to bust 'em.

I easily unfastened mine and then fasytened them back.

"before washing your jeans shorts, pre-treat by throwing them away."




Jett, I must admit, this line gives me a laugh no matter how many times i see it.

[fonsie]

yea i saw some but all they had were pink. I will keep checking diferant stores.

[jettjames]

I guess I've been posting quite a bit getting ready to go, now of course I just got a job interview for a SUPER job that won't wait. man.

I saw this thread and Goggled Dollar General...simple click of store locator, zip code and KAPoohey....a distance of zero miles...hmm so there's one in my town huh..
Okay, never been and a mile from the house...yeah so I'm not much for shopping centers.

I bought my first pair off the net at a medical supply place and I think they were about $10.00 and that included shipping..I still have them and they have quite a few miles on them but they are just foam clogs without the thing that goes around the back. I found a need for that thing that goes around the back while wearing them to cross a creek swollen with snow melt.

I wasn't about to pay $29.00 for a $2.00 pair of foam shoes just becuase they have the name "Crocs" on them...plus what a rip off that they didn't even put the entire name on them "Crocs of S#it" $14.50 per sandal that's a little steep for a pice of molded foam.

So...Thank You very much norub for posting this.
I happily paid $6.00 and know that I'll easily get $3.00 worth of wear out of each one.

I go bare foot at camp, and wear the trusty ole boots in towns. Why take up pack space and carry extra weight. Besides crocs look girly.

[Frolicking Dinosaurs]

AustinLowes17, going barefoot without extensive preparation (look up the Barefoot Sisters for details) has some risks associated with it - cuts and infections head the list. The condition of your feet is vitally important to the success of your hike. I urge you to take care of them.

i don't get the whole croc thing. i just wear my hiking shoes around camp and in towns. i'll never own crocs.
