Where can i find a pair of knockoff Crocs? Walmart, Target, and Payless don't have them yet. Guess still to cold in the NE for them. How much less do they weigh? I wear a size 11 and the real Crocs weigh 14oz. Is it really worth getting the knockoffs when it comes to weight?

Thanks

Waldies Aruba shoes are somewhat like Crocs, but they're much lighter weight. Mine (size 7) weigh about 3.2 oz. Great for wearing in camp.

Check Walgreens and CVS.

They are seasonal you may have to wait for the spring stock rolls out.

My “Doggers” brand from CVS came in at 8 ½ per pair it they cost me $6.99 of the discount rack.

Diana,
Is that 3.2 oz weight for one shoe or two?
Thanks,

My camp shoes were bought at a dollar store for, um, one dollar. The material is very similar to Crocs but noticeably less dense and they lack a heal cup which saves even more weight. I have been using the same pair for 3 years and they are still going strong.

The last Daiso store I visited had a resin "slipper" that seemed very light, but they only go to size 42– a little short of my US 11 needs, so I didn't buy to test them.

Sorry, Marty. Good catch. It's 3.2 oz for one shoe. I just weighed my pair of Waldies to be sure. The 2 of them weigh 6.4 oz. total.

What I like most about them (in addition to how light they are) is that they fit my feet better than Crocs do.

Does anyone know how much the Doggers UltraLite Clogs or Cloggens Cero Mesh brand of Crocs weigh?

I just hiked with a friend that had the Waldies Aruba. I really liked that they are much lighter than Crocs and are more open. Unfortunately the Waldies website is horrendous. I can't even find if they have my size. It's like their competition hacked into their server and screwed things up so that they would lose customers. I think calling to place an order is the only way to go.

Fortunately Waldies seems to still be in business since I just got an email. Hopefully I'll be able to place an order soon.

Yes, I got a pair of Aruba's on the way. Hopefully I get to use it soon. So if any of you guys are thinking about ordering these and don't see your size, you should email them.

Just got a pair of Airwalk Men's "Convert Clog" for $22 (retail). Size 11, I'm typically a 10, the run small. Weight in at 6 oz. EACH. Look pretty sturdy, feel by hand lighter than Crocs, there is a Croc store in the same mall.
