It could be worse. You could fall in love with someone, get married and, after years of happiness together, that person discovers Crocs and loves them to death.
My poor wife. She did say for better or worse, however.
You should get a pair of the cowboy boots
New boot goofin’
Meanwhile I bought my fiancee some when her second pair of flats died every two years.
She like the tye dye pattern for her new wannabe flats Crocs.
When’s your anniversary? These Swarovski crystal Crocs would be the perfect gift.
I’m sorry, I couldn’t hear you over the sound of my Croc nuts slamming against my heels!
A couple bumper stickers couldn’t hurt.
“Keep on Crocking”
“My Other Shoes Are Crocs”
“Croc if You’re Horny”
Crocking on heaven’s door
Me walking around in my Crocs, Hawaiian shirt and harem pants.TIL. I initially assumed this was a swypo for cargo pants.
If you feel a lingering stare across the street, that’s me. I am in awe at how comfy that looks.
If you can’t handle me in my crocs you don’t deserve me in my socks…and crocs
She was married to Marilyn Manson and crocs is her greatest fear?
Who is this lady? I recognize her for some reason.
Dita Von Teese
Some reason
I just remember my ex-GF being obsessed with her. Couldn’t remember her name.
I was mostly teasing because she’s in a few quite popular softcore porn videos as well.
Also she’s smokin hot.
Priorities
Distaste for crocs just strikes me as a stupid fad and I don’t even wear regular crocs. I do like the crocs flip flops that are single piece construction because they last an order of magnitude longer than standard flip flops and the plastic material they are made of of is easy to clean and doesn’t hold odor like so many other types of materials that flip flops and sandals are made of.
I think it’s just a reactionary backlash to their popularity. It’s the fact they suddenly showed up everywhere all at once, were something new that departed sufficiently from older flip flop designs and created a divide in taste. I fell into that trap myself but we buy them for our kid and they’re awesome! My next flip flops when my current ones die will probably be crocs. I wouldn’t wear them anywhere I wouldn’t wear flip flops though.
I had some and couldn’t stand them. The material would pull my foot hair, and they reminded me of orange peanut candy. And the squishiness didn’t feel foot-shaped, to me. It just felt like mush. I need arch support and a firm platform. So I hate on them because they strike me as foam toys rather than shoes.
But what if you don’t compare them to shoes but just to flip flops?
Fair point, I actually mainly wore flip flops and preferred Reef and now
UlukaiOlukai. Those checked almost all my boxes, though none of those give a firm enough platform compared to good walking shoes, so I shouldn’t hold that point against Crocs.Edit: I mixed up Olukai shoes with
UklaUukha archery gear, oops.Edit 2: I mixed up Uukha with Ookla. /facepalm
It sounds like you don’t prefer wearing them but you don’t have a problem with other people wearing them
I really want to try crocs to see if they’re as comfortable as I’ve been told they are. But they’re so fuckin hideous
I stopped giving a fuck and wear brightly colored Crocs as a fat hairy guy. I’ve never been more comfortable after a long day at work than after I started wearing Crocs daily
this is a man of the people. They’re garish but I can slip em on without bending over so that’s all that matters.
Ditto.
Crocs are a fashion crime.
I guess they’re pretty good foot fetishist deterrents though? If I was so inclined, I would rather get a footjob from a cassowary.
Watch out for that claw that’s hidden? I can’t quite remember, but what they use to kill things.
You might be thinking of a Platypus?
Nah. It was a cassowary, but they do not have the claw I was thinking (like platypus’). I guess they just jump kick with their toe claws.
That’s the point. They aren’t just a comfortable shoe. They are a statement. A statement, that You value Your own comfort above what other people think.
Try em they’re great. Everyone seriously avoiding them because they’re godawful ugly are just denying themselves pleasure. Don’t be a weenie, have fun with life.
I think they’re really really comfy
Comfort isn’t the main selling point. In no particular order:
- Versatile: indoor, outdoor, dry, wet,…
- Easy to clean
- Easy to take on or off
- Inexpensive (when on sale)
- Relatively durable/reliable
- Protects toes (unlike sandals)
- Many colors, styles, and patterns
I also used to hate how they looked, and I thought other people were just falling for the fad. But I bought some after literally being indoctrinated by my other coworkers at a summer camp, and never looked back. They are just such useful shoes that it really changes how you perceive them once they’ve worked for you.
P.S. Just in case you were wondering, there are still people at summer camp that continue to hate crocs, but they’re aware they’re in the minority :p
Crocs (or well fake ones since nobody buys the actual brand ones) can be really damn comfy. Best summer cabin shoes
I bought the brand ones. They are absolutely worth it. The fake ones don’t even compare to that level of comfort.
I’m tried them and while I didn’t notice a big difference I can believe that there’s a difference. I personally don’t consider it worth it though when Crocs start at 30€ and generic clogs can be less than 5€. But with those quality varies a lot, so buyer beware. I’ve just very rarely seen people buy the branded ones is what I meant with my original post
I do realize. I’ve only ever seen knockoffs until I bought myself a pair. The cost is a lot different, but considering the quality and durability, I think they are worth it. I often say, that I can’t afford cheap things. The shoe theory comes to mind. Literally XD
Iirc Croc’s has a patent on the material the real ones are made of.
I had crooks (what we call fake Crocs) for a long time, then I bought the reals. Huge difference, will never go back
My wife seems to think Crocs are suitable safety shoes when working with machinery in the garden.
As long as she doesn’t run her feet over. Though I can’t say I’m any better in flip flops
When bits of sky blue foam and blood start flying everywhere, that’s when you know to turn the machine off.
I love how crocs are cheap and durable. I hate how they make it feel like your feet are constantly being stabbed hundreds of times and have no clue how someone could find that comfortable in any meaningful way.
Stabbed? You mean by the little nubs inside? Dude…?!!!
Erm, socks?
What sort of Crocs are you wearing lmao. Or maybe you have turbo sensitive feet??
What are You talking about? What stabbing? For me they’re the most comfortable shoes I’ve ever worn.
There are hundreds of tiny nubs in the bottom.
You gotta wear them with socks for maximum comfort.
Just wear em for a week or two and they’ll wear away to fit your foot perfectly.
I think Crocs can be fucking cool but it depends on the situation and the wearer. And they’re the most comfortable footwear ever invented anyway.
How to spot someone who never wore Crocs.
maybe she’s talking about actual crocodiles. that would be nightmarish
Who is this?
Isn’t it Dita Von Teese?
It is indeed.
And did the girl in the picture actually said that?
Dita
