| Haven't seen any here. Are they available? Can't get my feet in these little Korean slippers/sandals. |

| if you go to the crocs website and search for stores internationally, it links you to the Korean site. |

| The Crocs in Emart were over in the brand name shoe section. They were on their own display stand. They were between 30-40,000.Of Course this was not in Seoul . |

Saw them at a store in Star City (it's the new building/shopping complex near Konkuk University Station in Seoul--just look for the new cinema near exit 2 heading east).
If I remember correctly the store is an actual Crocs only store. Walk around a bit, and you'll find it.
I also saw them at Emart.
Good luck. |

Yeah, we've ordered shoes from there. Their prices are so low and shipping isn't all that bad (fast, too). If you Google 'shoebuy coupons' first you'll find a code that allows you to save 5 or 10%.
As long as you stick under 150$ total, you shouldn't pay duty. |

| Korean adjummas wear those when they clean public buildings. Who wants to go around looking like a Korean cleaning lady? |

Why order them when you can go to the Croc store to buy them?
It's in the new Lotte Cinema/EMart complex at Konkuk University.
The store is along the corridor behind the ABC-Mart store. |

When I brought some from back home last year, all my students said "bathroom shoes" and laughed their little heads off. Now they have advertising with Korean celebrities wearing them. I'll be sure to laugh at their "bathroom shoes" when I see my students come in sporting a pair.
I personally think they are the absolute best for the Korean rainy season and summer. |

I had this same experience a couple summers ago. The next summer a bunch of my yu-hakseng (study abroad kids) were rocking them. |

Have you tried them?
Do you think they're ugly?
