LOL...the thought of repairing Crocs instead of just burning them at first sight intrigues me ..

Ha!
The 5min two part JB weld epoxy definitely worked well to patch the holes in the Crocs.
The Bed Liner adhered great to the rubber flip flops.
It adhered well, but not great to the proprietary foam Crocs.
So far, so good.
Bottom line, I was able to avoid going to Academy Sports; which is a win, win.

I bought a pair online 5 years ago that I liked really good. Immediately bought another pair just in case they discontinued them. Still wearing the original pair.

I should have bought two when they were on clearance.
Wasn’t sure I’d like them as much as I do.
Ideal shoe with socks (to prevent weird sunburn) for kayak fishing

So you bought like $50 worth of epoxies and sprays to repair a hole in a $12 shoe?

Ha! I had the truck bed liner from a previous project.
Harbor Freight Truck bed liner is the cheapest at $10
The rubberized undercoating is $8 at Walmart.
JBweld Kiel two part epoxy $8

Sorry guys thaw those old things away and buy a new pair. Looks like a lot of wasted time and money to repair a cheap azz pair of crocs.

The repair was successful up until last week.
Got the Wmart fake croc replacement. Wmart calls them Rugged sharks. They are great for $12.

I bought a pair online 5 years ago that I liked really good. Immediately bought another pair just in case they discontinued them. Still wearing the original pair. Sad day.......My original pair of flip flops finally broke today and I`m wearing the 5 year old new pair. FYI.....I actually looked to see if I could repair them and just couldn`t see a way. The piece your toes go between broke.

The toe piece is catastrophic failure.
Only a toe piece transplant could save the day…but prolong the inevitable at that stage.

I bought two pairs of the Croc flip flops years ago, one pair broke between the toes so went online and bought another pair of the croc flip flop classic, but they do not feel the same as the original ones that I had
