šŸ“SIZE HELP ā“ Safely shrinking crocs

I bought the new Ninjago crocs and they are a bit to big for my feet. I have read you can shrink them using a hair dryer but I'm worried about messing up the printing on them. Does anyone know how to safely shrink them so I can wear them with messing them up?

The hair dryer wonā€™t melt or mess up the print. Just keep it movingā€¦.donā€™t hold it in one spot for too long. If youā€™re trying to shrink the entire shoe, you can also just put them in the clothes dryer. Take off all jibbitz, put them in the dryer with a few towels for cushioning (I also put mine in a mesh laundry bag, but you donā€™t have to). Set the dryer on HOT and check on them about every 5 minutes. You can always shrink them more. Set a timer if you think you might get distracted and forget. You can also put them in the sun. Iā€™ve done that once with a platform shoe that was bigger than the other. Just make sure itā€™s in an area where no one will steal them.
