Part of my collection of Merrell Hydro Moc alternatives to Crocs
My postings here have fallen further behind. This batch is over a year ago. I will attempt to catch up as my time permits. Please continue to check in as I slowly catch up.
Merrell makes these to compete with Crocs, although you probably see 100 pairs (or even 1000) of Crocs for every pair of these you see. But I prefer these to Crocs. They are more comfortable and, to me more stylish. So I purchased a number of pair at the end of last summer when these photos were taken.
I bought one pair of every size from a very small Y13 (they call it K'S 13 to size 6 (They call that K's 6). Each pair is a different color. My feet are supposedly a 7, but the 6's felt a little loose, so I didn't get a pair of 7's
One advantage of rubber shoes is that the rubber can stretch to fit, and these are quite stretchy. The Y13 toebox stretches over my toes but is narrow enough to be very tight, and my heels are hanging out, bending the rubber heel counter down. I doubted I'd be able to routinely wear Y12's so I didn't get anything smaller than Y13.
They make these in a Crocs style closed toe "clog" and an open toe slipper. I bought one pair of slippers, but prefer the clogs for everyday wear.
As I said, I find them more comfortable than Crocs. The soles are more "bouncy", particularly the heels, and the rubber uppers are thinner, both looking more attractive and stretching to fit my feet more.
I've found the Y4s to fit me the way I like most, I wear them most often. I also wear the Y13s and Y1s just because I can, and like how small they look on my already small feet.
