Although the polar fleece is a wonderful step-up from the regular fleece lining of the Mammoth clogs, I was surprised to discover that the Blitzens were a good half-size smaller than both pairs of my Mammoths - making them just a little too small to be comfortable. I am going to try the next size up when they are back in stock - but I suspect those will be too big. To be continued...February 23, 2009:
It took a while for me to finally find the size I needed, but when I finally did near the end of November, I was very happy that the extra effort paid off and larger size was just right. Although I still love my Mammoths, the Blitzens have the great winter/wet weather advantage of having a solid upper (except for a few decorative "Crocs" holes near the opening). This makes them much more practical for mild to moderate winter weather use.
The polar fleece is absolutely worth the extra few dollars for the comfort and "snuggliness", but I'm a little skeptical about the durability. Only time will tell.
My personal Crocs sizing solutions:
Crocs sizes tend to be somewhat off from other shoes - some run big, some run small. This is what I find generally works for me if you are not able to try them on before buying.
1. Determine your normal shoe size for a running/walking shoe or similar (not heels or hiking boots since most will vary more).
2. If you are buying a traditional Crocs clog-type shoe, usually you will wear the same size Crocs. If your size is a half-size like mine, you will have to make a choice since Crocs don't run in half sizes (that I am aware of). I usually go down to the next even size. They have always fit well, and the material does have some "give" so I've never had a problem with pinching or blisters, and they will stretch out a little over time.
3. If you are choosing a sandal style Crocs, I always go to the next even size up, since they seem to run a little tighter, but I also have wide feet.
4. For the Mammoth - you will probably need to buy one full size larger than your normal shoe or Crocs clog because the company does not re-number the shoe sizes, they just add the liner and that takes up space.
5. For the Blitzen - you will probably need to buy two full sizes larger than your normal shoe or Crocs clog. Part of the reason is, I believe the same at with the Mammoths - the liner takes up room. The other reason is that the shoe itself, compared sole to sole to the same sized Mammoth is at least on half size smaller. If I ever find out why I will be sure to let you all know.
To summarize my sizing suggestions:
Crocs clogs - your normal casual shoe size or closest whole size smaller.
Crocs sandals - your normal casual shoe size or one size larger for wide feet.
Crocs Mammoths - one size larger than your normal casual shoe size.
Crocs Blitzens - two sizes larger than your normal casual shoe size.
I hope that is helpful. Since everyone's feet and everyone's comfort preferences are different, I make no guarantees, but I own about a dozen different pairs of Crocs and these suggestions are what have worked for me.
