anyone know? They don't have to be the real ones.

And can someone explain to me if they are worn as shoes or as crocs? I really don't know these things but my girls are asking me to buy them...

They are like crocs.

they are very expensive on Amazon (surprisingly) and if they cost so much are they really like crocs? My dd who is in 1st grade in bais faiga says that girls wear them to school. I am surprised this is allowed unless it has a similar look to the slip in sneakers that the schools allow?

My kids live in them. They can wear them like sneakers- very comfortable. And they're good for the water. They cost about $35 in royal family shoes. They don't slip off.

Can't say what the imitations from closeout are like as I've never seen them.

Natives are not school shoes unless the school has a very casual dress code. They are comfortable for wearing all day and hold the feet better than crocs but not as well as sneakers.

I just saw some high school girls wearing them while walking home - I was also surprised it was a school shoe. My girls are wearing sneakers to school, but I wouldn't send them in a croc like shoe.

For Lag B'omer, BK treated the girls to a swim, so DD actually took her natives to school. (My niece didn't bring swimwear and went in with her clothes, so she ended up wearing DD's natives for the rest of the day.) Perhaps the girls were wearing natives for that reason.

Maybe there are girls who wear natives regularly, but my girls consider them beach/swimwear. My oldest DD got hers for her seminary's trip to Israel - it was on the packing list, needed for all the water hikes! Next DD outgrew her crocs, so she got natives. They give way more support than crocs, so are better for water hikes.

Youngest DD still has hand-me-down crocs from big sisters, so I have no plans to buy her natives. Hope crocs are still being worn this summer for water activities....
