Crocs. Why?

[Mr.Bishie]

I live in mine

 

[fucthest8]

Bloody hell mate, get a house eh? You're not that small.

 

[madamv]

Mortuary technicians have been wearing them for years, good for when bleaching down floors and the like.

Really??

I would be very suprised, and disgusted.

[fucthest8]

Class mate.

People who wear crocs should have them forcibly removed and shoved up their arses.

 

[fucthest8]

That just makes me want to by a pair. Several in fact, just to really annoy you.

You're not cool enuff to wear Crocs, & you know it.

Well, I have yet to experience the "molding to my feet" phenomenon - they just seem to be the same as they were when I bought them two months ago.

They don't mould to your feet at all. They are comfy enough if you haven't got any foot problems, but I have bad heels and they are not padded enough.

It's been pouring with rain all day as usual and I've worn one of three eek pairs I brought specially. They're great cos although they would be slippy on proper pavements, here the streets are rubbly and potholed and muddy and the rain just makes muddy tides all over. Your feet get filthy. At least with these you can run 'em under the tap when you get indoors.

I'll probably leave them behind when I go though

 

[twisted_angel]

Maybe they were fake ones i dont know but they were heavy and very wide fitting, made me feel clumsy.
My daughter says she wants some winter ones

 

[mango5]

I'm clearly not offended by them but those fuzzy-lined ones look horrible

I might be won round to crocs one day, i hated dolly shoes and now i love them...takes me a while to get used to things sometimes

 

[Flashman]

No surely not - wearing shoes full of holes, in a mortuary?

I thought it was all white wellies?

An ex of mine works in one and when the trend hit she said they'd been wearing them for years (I think they're holeless though, but Crocs nevertheless).

Not me - I just think they are butt ugly and I like my shoes to at least look nice. I couldn't give a fart if they are trendy or not - doesn't come in the equation.

Comfort? My dear, let us be elegant or die!!!

The thing that got me is how big they make your feet look....im only a size 4 yet they looked huge.
I sometimes go for comfort which is where my love of dolly shoes came in one day, but crocs might be harder to get used to...i just dont feel it.

 

[Lost Zoot]

They are tasteless and look "special"

 

[Mogden]

They are tasteless and look "special"

And that is why they suit me

 

[kyser_soze]

EXACTLY. It's that whole "ooh, something's popular, I must hate it" thing. Welcome to Urban - snobby in its own very special way.

No, I thought they were abominations when I first saw them, not realising they were popular. But the general point is correct...

 

[dash_two]

They made me think of Bill and Ben the Flowerpot Men when I first saw people wearing them. Actual inspection shows that Bill and Ben wore sturdy-looking British army type boots, handy for dishing out good kickings to repel slugs and other garden pests.

But you can imagine Devo wearing Crocs.

Best news I've seen in ages:

The colorful foam clogs appeared in 2002, just as the country was recovering from a recession. Brash and bright, they were a cheap investment (about $30) that felt good and promised to last forever. Former president George W. Bush wore them. Aerosmith lead singer Steven Tyler wore them. Your grandma wore them. They roared along with the economy, mocked by the fashion world but selling 100 million pairs in seven years.

Then the boom times went bust, and Crocs went to the back of the closet.

They sell them by the barrow load here.
I use them when I ride the motorbike but need to keep taking off my shoes as I go into places.
Totally comfy and no sweaty feet.

 

[Geri]

After swearing I wouldn't be seen dead in them, I bought some for wearing around the house - instead of slippers. They are ideal for this, beause if I step in cat sick (which happens a lot) I can just rinse them off under the tap.

 

[handyman121]

I've just bought a pair of "croc's" but they are called "woz" the real Croc's cost 45 euros but the copies were just 25 euros. I am waiting to see if they are comfey enough to get me through the weekend of salsa festival in our local village. I am running a bar and will be on my feet for a long time.

My mates 5 year old refuses to go out without his crocs on. And then only if his mum has put them in the freezer first.

 

[electrogirl]

They make me laugh now. I saw someone on the train wearing them with socks, I texted dodgepot about it which I think he really appreciated.

 

[moose]

Edit: Oops - someone else has already danced on their grave.

The first person I ever saw wearing them had a skirt on and knee length grey socks on with them. I think she was German.

I bought a new pair of dark blue ones yesterday and have ordered two pairs of black ones as they are so hard to get in my size here.
