Do you people wear them.. in public? As it, out. ? That’s not happened to me yet, strictly home stuff, outdoor slippers.
A solid 9/10.I thought I posted mine!
Totally understandable! After getting caught in rain storms and trying to get to my car (and almost falling on my ass because the grip is lost), I 100% agree they should be banned in a lot of places.It’s not unusual in the oil and gas industry to arrive on a project and crocs are totally banned
Once worn a bit they are a bit slippery, but also they can be accidentally grippy at the wrong time as well
During lockdown I resoled a pair of crocs with a car mat that I found on the side of the road. The grip was incredible. Contact adhesive and an angle grinder...
I wore them for a few years prior, living on the beach they're a very functional shoe. Once I returned to real life and realised that they'd become a fashion item *again, I ditched them for jandals (flipflops).
I can't stand my toes touching and spent years in and out of the water, so they had their place but I'd never wear them in public.
The first thing always I did was remove those awful pins from the side and take off the 4x4 linkage, that bit's completely unnecessary. Cracked and flat heel got to me in the end and my crocs were always so worn through that I spent years pretty much barefoot.
I can't stand to wear socks and shoes but here in the UK it's standard practice. I get a lot of odd looks wearing jandals for the school run in deepest midwinter but hey, sod em.
* eta I removed it anyway as it's probably bad taste on a public forum.
Whaaaat???I hope it’s a walking activity. It’s illegal to drive a car in flip flops.
Not sure driving laws are the same in all countries.
I think you may be getting your urban and fetlife accounts mixed up hereI go into the local co-op in my fishing waders and crocks. It's the most fun the local kids have around here.
Not specifically. There’s loads of statutory regulations that aren’t specific. By the way, if you think it’s safe to drive in flip flops then I think you’re a dick.
And we didn’t wear seat belts, how cool were we?My Mum used to regularly drive in flip flops and never had an accident while doing so.
The leather top ones are bad ass but bloody hard to come by.
It's a comfort thing. For me, anyhow. There are very few items of footwear I can put on that don't require me to wear orthotics with them. Crocs are on the short list (and Asics GT-2000s). Since I'm wearing them around the house to keep my feet from hurting anyhow, I may as well have bright lemon yellow ones to cheer me up.Can’t say I’m tempted - what’s the appeal?
Plastic shoes with holes in them?
What’s to like?
I got an email from Mahabis last week attempting to flog me some sandals that look very similar to Crocs, but they’re equally unappealing.
Is it a comfort thing? Can’t be for the aesthetics.

They give me sweaty feet, sore arches and backaches, so it can't be that.What’s to like?
Incredibly comfortable. Can be worn as slippers cos they are strangely warm and can just go to the shops in them. Slipper to street no prob. The right outfit with the right colour they can, not always tho, look great. And they keep their shape and colour for yonks in my experience. Easy to clean. You can do gardening/labour in them and it’s just a whipe to clean.Can’t say I’m tempted - what’s the appeal?

They’re up there with Doc Martens and Ugg Boots for me.In a world of smooth asthetic and performative beauty I quite like their ugliness
