Athens Thong Sandal

This style was my first introduction to Crocs. I am not into Croc clogs and I always associated Crocs with just clogs, therefore I never gave their brand a second look. Well, when I first noticed theses sandals online, I liked the look of them (easy slip on, no fuss, cool design) and decided to give them a try. I didn't even notice they were sold by Crocs at first. I was so glad I gave them a chance and ordered them, because as you can tell from my pic, I wear them all the time. They are my favorites ! I bought my first pair of the black ones back in March. I wear a 6.5 shoe and ordered 6. I wore them all day. They fit true to size and keep my feet cool ( no slippy foot bed due to the tiny dots helping air to circulate) The little dots on the footbed feel good, they are like little massagers. Whether I am out walking the dog or just walking around the house, they are so easy and comfortable to wear. I have tile floors and wearing these in the house cushions the impact on my heels on the tile all day. ( I've heard this is why many medical people love the clogs, because they are walking on hard surfaces all day too.) Also, I like how these add just a little bit of height for me, without looking or feeling like I have high heels on. (The extra height helps me reach another shelf in the kitchen cabinet too...) Another thing that makes these great is how they can get wet and don't stay wet, or get dirty and can just be rinsed off. Walking early in the morning I am constantly walking around sprinklers and puddles and getting them dirty. No problem, I just wipe them off. During the summer I used them around the pool and there is NO deck slipping. However, I do NOT suggest wearing them IN the actual pool. Whatever they're made wasn't meant to be water logged. Why you ask I know this? Because I have forgotten and stepped in the pool with them on several times. I forget to take them off, because they don't even feel like I have shoes on. They get squishier when totally water logged, but do dry pretty fast. I liked the sandal so much, I went back and bought them in two other colors. The pink is a soft color pink, which looks great with blue jeans, white jeans or shorts. I also got what I call the "nude" color. It's just right to blend with my skin tone when I don't know what color sandal to wear or when I want my sandals to just blend in without clashing with what I'm wearing. Later in the summer I also bought another black pair, because I wear them so much (miles a day). I just wanted to make sure I had a pair for the future, before they were sold out or discontinued. I thinking I might be back for the dark blue ones later... :) Funny story, but not. In the summer I got bit on my foot by a red fire ant (a RIFA). I had to call TelaDoc because my foot was so swollen I couldn't get it into my sandal and it was getting worse. The TelaDoc wanted me to send her a picture of my foot. When I did they were concerned about the stripe I had across my foot. I had to explain that was not from the bite, that was from me wearing the same type of sandals everyday LOL...just proof how much I love wearing them. After having so much success with this pair of Crocs, I started exploring their brand more. I came across the Crocs Huarache Wedge Sandal. They're colorful and the price was excellent ($13.99). I ordered a pair and I am very pleased with them too... so much so I ordered a pair for my Cousin as a gift. She was soooo surprised they were Crocs too. I said IKR! Thanks Crocs for the new designs, please keep them coming. Your clogs might have gotten your company started, but these new designs will take your company to the next level with new returning customers like me!

I bought these Crocs Athens Thong Sandals for my husband's birthday to replace his old pair that he had worn for years. He loved his previous pair, so I was happy to find these as a replacement. Just like the last pair, he says they're incredibly comfortable and wears them all the time. They fit well, are lightweight, and have held up great with everyday use. If you're looking for a comfortable, durable sandal, I would definitely recommend these!

I love these ! Only issue I had was the sizing ! I wear a size 6 in regular crocs. After reading reviews of this model I sized up and ordered a size 7 . They came and they were too short . My toes were crushed against the front of the shoe . I returned for a size 8 ! They fit perfect !

Nice, sturdy Crocs that my son wants to wear every day! He says they are comfortable.

Ok for all you 7.5 sisters. Im a 7.5 and I usually can't fit into 7's, while 8's are exclusively too big. So this sandal did fit me OK as a 7. I ran into the Croc store at my mall before I ordered this and noticed that their sizes do tend to run a little big in terms of the EU to US chart. (For example a size 7 is typically a EU 36-37 but these size 7's are EU 37-38) I usually wear an EU 38 but I can usually cram my feet into a 37 and have an ok day if I'm out on a date in fancy 37 shoes. So I switched out my cart from a 8 to a 7 and ordered them. They fit!! As far as the width goes, I dont usually encounter problems with my shoes being too narrow but these came marked with a capital W. The width feels fine just a normal shoe to me. But I guess Wide wouldnt hurt here as it can help you push your feet in deeper to get a better grip on your sandals. It might be a smudge too small but nothting you would notice if you are wearing them for a quick errend in town or around the house. And you can always adjust by pushing your feet a little farther in. They are cushy and comfy and I really like them. And they dont have those henious under the toe grooves that most of their sandals seem to have. I'm a dancer so I'm really particular about my shoes and feet and I hate shoes that are too big, too heavy, or limit movement in the ankle. These are perfect for me and I love pastels.

These Crocs are awesome! My 3 1/2-year-old LOVES them. He put them on and was immediately ZIPPING around the apartment while making engine revving noises galore! I'd love to know how much these ACTUALLY make him feel like he IS Lightning McQueen. That's something we can never know, but it's SO worth the price to see him so excited. I weep for how much I'm going to spend in the next couple of decades, lol. On to the shoes! PROs: 1. Gotta be the ADJUSTABLE strap. Wow. Not only are a pair of Lightning McQueen Crocs the absolute perfect choice for my boy, but these will grow with him, too, and save Mommy and Daddy a couple a scheckels! There are 3 different sizes you can create. As you can see in the pics, you pull the strap out of the first button, move the strap to the second button and push it on. This does take some effort as it doesn't easily come off but with how much our little ones are gonna run hard in these, I'm thrilled the strap is that rigid. It takes slightly MORE effort and finagling to get the strap back on the new hole, but once you do, you KNOW it's not gonna come loose. Win! Our son is a size 9, we bought these as a size 10, knowing it had the adjustable strap. I found that moving just ONE side of the strap was the perfect sizing. You could adjust the strap forward on BOTH sides, and I feel pretty confident that would accommodate a size 8 (or two sizes down from the size you buy). Even using both holes, and effectively dropping two sizes from the size you bought, I don't think there'd be too much "empty" shoe in the back that it would hinder running around, jumping, etc. (there certainly isn't too much shoe on ours). I wondered if moving just one side as we did, would feel uneven on his foot but not in the slightest. Phew, that's a long first PRO! 2. The graphics. They look REALLY good. Very clean and crisp lines. Nothing smudgy or runny. Quality for sure. 3. Comfort. Crocs just exude comfort. That's a given. We were very pleasantly surprised AGAIN by these crocs in the comfort department. Most crocs have that standard "Crocs" matte, soft finish. I was hoping that the glossy paint of the graphics and finish on the top didn't make the shoe more rigid than other Crocs and lead to quick blisters. IT DOESN'T! We gave these to him the night before Disneyland, so he only wore them for a few minutes that night. We brought back up shoes just in case, but He wore these the ENTIRE next day at Disneyland and never mentioned anything about these hurting his feet. Sadly, when we got back to the car and took the crocs off he was left with only two bloody stumps for feet...but they LOOK great! He's a tough kid, though. lol, j/k. There are also ventilation holes around the front and sides and that cuts down on sweaty feet and keep the air circulating. 4. Durability. I can't say for sure yet how durable these will be but they are authentic Crocs, and that certainly carries weight. However, I CAN say for sure that we've bought a few different knock-off brands of crocs for less than half the price of these, but they don't last. Either they wear through too quickly, or a strap breaks or one the EYEBALLS fall off the Aligator's face. CONs: 1. Price. This is where you could definitely argue that your child's feet are going to grow quickly and it's not worth the money to buy genuine Crocs. I agree to some extent. Right now these Crocs are selling for $35, they're $40 AT Disneyland, and that's a pretty hefty price tag. I was able to get the last pair of these in a size 10 at $23, but I would've paid $35 for two reasons. My son's smile but more importantly, lol, the ADJUSTABLE strap! It's like buying THREE pairs of Lightning McQueen's!! Assuming they hold up over time, I would have CERTAINLY paid $12 for a pair of 8s, 9s, AND 10s. Having said all of that, if these sold for $19.99 I think there would be even MORE little Lightning McQueen's running around, and the CEO of Crocs would STILL be able to afford his 9th Yacht, soooo, I'm taking a star away. Four stars. Overall we LOVE these shoes. If they release a new pair of "Cars" Crocs for every character? There goes the college fund. Hope this was Helpful! Thanks for reading!

This one runs a bit smaller, had to upgrade the size

Very comfortable to wear

Die Schuhe sitzen perfekt und sehen genauso aus wie auf den Bildern! Meine Tochter läuft in der Wohnung mit den Crocs und die sind einfach super dafür! Würde ich immer wieder bestellen! Lieferung war auch toll kamen sogar früher an als angegeben.

Really good!! Non slip!!

Great for my son for the garden and entering and getting out of the swimming pool. Wouldn't ever be seen in them myself but great for kids.
