| I adore Croc brand footware and was excited when I purchsed these. I was soon disappointed though because #1) the color (red) was very dull and had an orangeish hue to it, and #2) they squeaked really bad when I walked. They really looked like "garden shoes" no matter what I wore then with. I wore then 3-4 times in the hopes that my feelings toward them would improve, but they never did so eventually I sold them in a garage sale. |

I ordered my Prima in Pearl White on [...]. It took almost 2 weeks for me to received them. As some reviewer mentioned, the Pearl White is NOT "Pearl-White". Some said it's more of a gray, some said aluminum, but the real color is more like Plaster White. Dull, non-reflective, Plaster-White with a hint of stony grey (just look at the plaster in your wall).
On their website, it currently show 4 colors: Pearl (White), Celery (Light Green), Sea Foam (Aqua), and Lavender (Light Purple). From what you see on the [...], it seems all four colors has a hint of "pearl" in them. Even when you enlarge each and every photo of each color, it shows a hint of shiny "pearl" in all four of them. But in reality, they all are dull, pastel, pasty color.
I was looking for a pair of cheap ballet flat where I can wear with any tops, I was a bit disappointed with the color, BUT, it is still easier to match tops with a Plaster-Stony-White then dull-pasty green, aqua or purple (personal opinion). So I'm keeping these ([...])
I ordered a size 7, which is what I normally wear in all shoes. The fit was fine for me (as long as they don't shrink - crossing my fingers now), the heel is not as low as the side (as in the width). If you run in them, there is a high possibility that you might fall flat on your face.
I've only had them for a couple of hours, so I haven't had a chance to test the comfort level. I post an update after I wear them for a couple of weeks. |
Favorite shoe of all time!

| These are the best shoes, in my opinion! I don't have a flat foot nor a very high arch and my feet are just a little on the wider side and they fit like a dream! WARNING DO NOT LEAVE THEM IN THE SUN OR A HOT CAR FOR A LONG TIME THEY WILL SHRINK!!!!!!!! Really wish these were still being mass produced! |

These shoes make your foot look dainty and cute, but they are PAINFUL to wear! I ordered peacock blue in a size 7 (since that's what I normally wear in Crocs, and a 7 1/2 to 8 in other shoes) and it was really tight. My big toe hit the end and the heel dug in. But I thought I'd try to make them work since I really liked the look of them. I warmed them with a hair dryer and put them on and headed to the grocery store to try them out. Here's the problems I discovered:
--They make "noises" when you walk. There is no arch support, so every time you take a step the air gets trapped under the arch of your foot and makes an embarrassing noise!
--The toe is very narrow, so unless you have toes that come to a point I can't imagine them fitting properly. Even the little nubs that are on the inside sole started hurting my toes, and that has never happened in any of my other Crocs. The sole itself seems to be much thinner than any of my Crocs also.
--Even though they were too tight, they still slipped off my heal, causing blisters after just one hour. So, I came to the conclusion that ordering up a size wouldn't help me.
After an hour at the store of walking with my toes curled up to keep the shoes on and avoid any more stares when my shoes made their "noises," I came home and boxed them up! I think Crocs needs to toss these out! (Maybe that's why they are so inexpensive right now?) If you are looking for another cute Croc alternative to the Prima I highly recommend the Alice (Mary Jane style shoe). It is really cute and comfortable. It has a velvet strip on the heel to avoid blisters and a much thicker sole for better support. I have the ruby color and I get so many compliments on those rubber shoes! |
Comfy shoe

| Shoe was comfortable, but ran big. It's a little built up in the heel, compared to other crocs. This takes some getting used to, but once you do it's really comfortable. I wear a size 8, but a size 7 would have fit perfectly in this style. |
