Crocs

Solid 3.5 stars.
Great location for sure, just the men’s section a bit tight. Never as spacious as the womens on the right.
Picked up a pair of beauties, with big air vents all around the sides on either heel. Will be fantastic in the summer, just not in the fall when it rains like heck back home.
What a deal – buy 1 pair, and get up to 2 pairs 50% off, mix n match.
amex good.

A SUPER STORE!!! My wife and I stayed at the Sheraton’s Princess Kaiulani for Thanksgiving Eve and that night was the beginning of Black Friday. Crocs had a sale for 40% off EVERYTHING. I never envisioned me in a pair though now I wear them everywhere. Why…
The Crocs are the most comfortable shoe option on the market for this market. I opted for a closed toe brown Croc and my wife decided to get some Christmas pins. We bought many. Although I’m a bit self conscious about wearing them (not too manly) yet I’ve received compliments on the «fun» shoes. Yes, they sure are FUN!
Also, I can find my shoes among all the others when I go somewhere that I have to take off my shoes, i.e. The Byodo-​in Temple.
Although this is in the heart of Waikiki Beach, you can find parking at the usual places and walk here. It’s directly across the street from the Sheraton and next to the Princess Kaiulani pool exit, and if driving, on your LEFT.
Make a stop here for some fun shoes. Your sure to remove your shoes, place them in the bag, and wear your custom designed Crocs immediately.

Come for the shoes, stay for the entertainment.
So I love crocs. LOVE them. Walking miles in heels during my twenties basically broke my feet, so now I need all the support I can get. And crocs aren’t just the bright orange giant footwear of Mario Batali or the equally clunky and bright tiny footwear of toddlers. Crocs can also look like this:
Adorable, right? (I have pairs in two colors).
Anyway, I wouldn’t actually buy crocs at a store since you can get much better prices on
(free shipping! no sales tax! rewards points!) or even
. But the Waikiki Crocs store offers something other shoe stores don’t: entertainment.
Specifically, the first night I walked by crocs, there was not one, not two, not three, but FOUR ladies of the night blatantly posing in front of the store front. I guess nothing spells prostitution more than orthopedic footware marketed at chefs and toddlers. On the second and third nights, however, the entertainment grew a little more sophisticated (and legal). A live band and trio of break dancers replaced the women of easy virtue. Which makes more sense, when you think about it, because dancing all night really is hard on the feet.

We were very disappointed with the lack of service in this store. Both girls ignored us completely so we basically had to serve ourselves. We would not recommend this store to tourists.

nice selection a nd had some sale crocs that were nice

Can you imagine running a marathon in a pair of Crocs? I can’t but there’s a guy or two that does… at least at every running event I’ve been to with my husband including the North Shore marathon! Who knew?
I love Crocs… I may be the Imelda Marcos of Crocs. Scary huh? Yep. I had them before they came to Hawaii and they were all the rage in the Midwest in my college years. My mom hated/​hates them but I catch her wearing my Crocs and she says it’s only because they were there and she didn’t feel like finding her pair of slippers. Sure mom… sure. Whatever you say. haha.
I am glad they are coming out with different styles of Crocs especially the Crocbands which my husband loves to wear to work but he wears through them so fast that we need a new pair every other month it seems. Can you imagine how many pairs that running dude in Crocs must go through?
Service here is quick and friendly. They have so many choices to choose from. Jibbitz are cheaper online (on eBay) but sometimes you can find a good deal. I wouldn’t come here unless I was already in Waikiki since there’s no parking.

This is a pretty big location, and very popular with tourists, on Kalakaua Ave., near the International Marketplace. It’s always so crowded at peak time, and almost hard to walk around the displays (kind of awkward design with the large displays in the way).
The store does not carry all the latest Croc styles. Even the small gift shops in the area carry the latest styles, particulary the wedges and the heels. I saw one pair on display (on top) but none on the sales floor. I had a coupon and was ready to purchase another pair but didn’t find the one that I wanted.
The sales people were nice. I still prefer the store back home, because it’s way bigger and carries all the latest styles.

I have resisted Crocs since their inception. But after hiking Diamond Head, walking Waikiki, burning my feet on hot sand and yet more walking — my poor feet needed some love. Based on the number of people who frequent this store, I had to see what it was all about. The service was friendly and helpful, even with all the people visiting the store. I bought a pair of men’s shoes and my feet immediately began to feel better. I think I actually heard my feet breathe a sigh of relief. Thanks Crocs!
