My croc search is over!
I may have mentioned that I bought a new pair of flip flops for my recent trip to Montenegro - they were a pair of pink croc flip flops and I found them to be so comfortable.
So I then decided on getting myself a regular pair of crocs clogs and began to look for a nice pair in Dublin.
I searched in Schuh, Size, Foot Locker and JD Sports to name just a few places that I visited.
Well my search ended on Friday when Ciaran sent me a link to a pair in Lifestyle Sports. I bought them online and they were delivered to the Grafton Street Store on Saturday, with Ciaran picking them up for me while I was in work.
I am delighted with them!I had previously chosen a gorgeous pair on the Crocs Europe website but they were not available in my size. They were kind of white with a marble effect but honestly I prefer these bright vibrant pair.
I have to also mention how impressed I was by Lifestyle's online service. Can you believe that I put the order in at 2pm on Friday and that DPD had delivered them to the store by 12pm the next day. Delivery was free to the store for pickup or 5 euro for delivery direct to your door. Given that we live about a 25 min walk from Grafton Street and Ciaran planned to be in the city anyway, it was a no brainer to pick up from the store. In some ways this is easier, than perhaps having to wait around for a delivery to the house.
Ciaran wore his grey crocs the whole time while we were sailing in Montenegro and in fairness they are a good shoe to wear when you are hoping on and off a boat as you can slip them off easily when you board.
A funny story is how he ended up with a bright pink pair of crocs kind of by default. As I mentioned above, I was on the hunt for a pair of crocs for awhile and I actually ordered a pair online just before we went on holidays. They took about 6 days to arrive and when they got to my house they were the wrong size to what I had ordered. I contacted customer support to arrange to return them but it was not terribly convenient.....but I still planned on returning and exchanging despite the inconvenience.
But then when Ciaran arrived home and saw them, he said that they were his size and that he would keep them. Good for him and he now has 3 pairs - grey, black and now bright pink!
