Our toys are manufactured in a number of countries, both abroad and in the United States. Each one is marked with its country of origin. We have many people in the USA engaged in supporting our toy making and distribution processes and ourselves operate multiple facilities, including our headquarters, in the United States. Regardless of where each toy is made, we run it through the same rigorous and stringent testing procedures to ensure its safety. We have followed this same testing procedure for more than 30 years we’ve been in business. For items coming into our warehouses from abroad, the transit time is typically 4 or more weeks.

User questions & answers

Question:	It says up to 15 years but im 30 should i feel bad for wanting thees asap
Answer:	I've been wearing these probably for 2 or more years now (I have a bad back and helps a lot) Well from the very first pair I bought and just bought a pair today I have taken the ankle strap right off the shoe. YUP and 99.9 % of the time I'm wearing them I'm wearing them with NO SOCKKS and have never ever had a problem falling out of the or anything like that. As for half size I wear 8-8 and a half I got a 9 then went to a 10 (ALL WOMENS SIZE) Today I got a women's size 11 and I know I will be taking off the strap of those too If I'm not "swimming" in the 11 and have to return them with the ankle straps attached BUT if they fit ok off the starps will come OH AND SOMETHING YOU CAN DO TOO to see if they work for you without the strap on. Just put the strap on the top of the top of the shoe don't have to bother taking the strap off just try that instead I forgot I did that with my very first pair and after wearing them like that for awhile realized I could take the straps right off the shoe and have ever since. I love my crocs (bad back problems) helps a lot. I wear mine constantly and have found that for me the inside sole does wear down after time you'll notice how much when you get a new pair. Nothing lasts forever
Question:	Can I use any other instead of this wooden stylus like a coin or a spoon
Answer:	I have tried the sizes 8 and 9 in women's and the 8 is just barely too short, my heel goes over the back and toes just touch the front, and then I ordered a 9 as the only other alternative. The 9's were WAY too big and bulky. I wear a 8.5 and my feet are 9.5" long. It seems like my Croc wearing days are over even though before they changed the sizing, I wore sz 8 for a decade. Sad because I really want these for gardening and everyday wear.
Question:	What size are these
Answer:	That is referring to two sizes, one for women and one for men. They typically run two sizes apart, so a size 9 in women is a size 7 in men. The syntax is divided by the slash "/". So it starts with the numeric size, followed by the width which is designated as "(b)m" for women and "d(m)". "us" just refers to "United States" sizing. So in the example says it is a Size 9, regular width in women's united states sizing and it is a Size 7, regular width in men's united states sizing.
Question:	Are these sticky notes
Answer:	The most UGLIEST shoes I have ever in my life had on my feet. But for the reason I got myself a pair of them is I have herniated and bulding discs in my back and the minute I put them on my feet for the very first time it was as if they had (the herniated bulging discs had miraculously went away. I was astonished and grateful. Some had told me they had the same problem and bought a pair of these and helped relieve there back problem too. I have been wearing classic crocs now for I think at least 2 or more years now and even thought I do have my days with my back These are still the most comfortable shoes you can put on your feet. TRUE STORY: Was getting in the car happened to look down at my foot and said OMG then laughed out loud because I was still wearing my house slippers (and we all know how comfortable those are) well those are how comfortable these are. I guess you have to ask yourself how much do you want to wear a comfortable shoe in order to get beyond how these look (atrociously) UUUUUGLY Every single pair I've ever bought is the (KHAKI) because they don't stand out so much. It's not as thought I don't like all the colors they come in I do its just that these are a "wide" looking shoe and if I bought or word the Yellow or Orange the first thing I would think of is "duck feet" OR the RED which I love too but would never ever buy they would just remind me of Clown shoes. You know how kids shoes are small and look really cute well I think these are really cute looking on little kids feet as well as all the colors They can get away with it but adults ok you can wear whatever color you like but remember if you think these shoes are UUUUUGLY buying a pair in a nice bright color is just going to bring a lot of attention to your feet.. No getting around the uuuuglyness of these shoes but depending on your circumstances and need for comfortable shoes YOU CANNOT BEAT THE CROCS FOR THAT !!!!

User questions & answers

Question:	What are the dimensions of the car
Answer:	The car is 4 inches long, 1.5 inches tall (with wheels) and 1.5 inches wide (also with wheels).
Question:	Do the colors come off clothes
Answer:	No the colors did not run off on clothes, but when the boys got done painting we sprayed with a clear finish.I believe paints are acrylics, but we had older boys, and they only got paint on their hands that washed off easy

Answer:	I would think so. It's wood so permanent marker should be fine.
