Crocs.com is running a great promotion on one of my favorite style of shoes. Gianna Disc Flats, normally $34.99, drop to $14.99 when you enter promo code GIANNA15 at Crocs.com. They come in six color combinations and in sizes 4-11. Free shipping at Crocs starts with $24.99 minimum orders, so you might want to grab two pairs.
If you've been reading Daily Cheapskate for a while, you know how much I love the Crocs That Don't Look Like Crocs. Let's face it. On a scale of one to ten, Crocs generally get a 10 for comfort and a minus 3 for beauty. Most Crocs are just not a good-looking shoe, but they are very comfortable and practical. But not so with the Gianna style.
I discovered the Crocs Gianna line about a year ago, when I had trouble finding a pair of dress flats for walking on Shabbos. I just wanted something that would be decent looking and comfortable. I started out in the Gianna flats that have a chunky chain embellishment (no longer available at Crocs.com) across the top. They don't look like Crocs, and they don't look like rubber shoes. They look like regular flats from a decent distance. And more than that, they are pretty. Almost no one guessed they were Crocs (unless they were very familiar with the style). They aren't completely flat; there is a small lift to the heel and they are shaped in a way that flatters your foot and ankle. I was surprised at how nice and un-Crocsmanlike they appeared. But, they are extremely Crocsmanlike in terms of comfort. I've walked in them for miles at this point, and they are about as comfortable as a pair of slippers, but with much more support. I thought it would be weird to wear rubber shoes on Shabbos, but they turned out to be a lifesaver when I got caught in the rain (just set them aside to dry afterward, water does not ruin them at all), and they weren't overly hot or uncomfortable in the slightest. Finally, in terms of traveling, they are so practical. They are very lightweight, go right in the suitcase without adding a lot of bulk, can get banged up and dirty and you can just rinse them right off.
They were the perfect dress flats! I wouldn't wear them to a wedding, but I'd be perfectly comfortable wearing them to a business meeting.
Since then, Crocs has expanded their Gianna line to include Gianna Bow Flats and Gianna Disc Flats, and I was waiting for a great sale to pick either or both of these up. I don't think I'll do any better than fifteen bucks, so I'm going to pick up a pair of the black Gianna Disc Flats the gold disc and the black ones with the silver disc.
