Welcome to 2003? Crocs

[dancingalone]

I am way behind the times as usual. Anyway, my wife recently bought me a pair of those 'ugly' Crocs clogs. I've been wearing them all day and I have to admit they are comfortable. For casual walking around shoes, they have a good utility to price ratio.

They look really uncomfortable to me...plus, I don't think that I've ever seen them in a "normal" color....of course, I'm in Florida.

Well, I am sporting the brown and black "boat shoe" model so they're subdued for Crocs. You're right though - I have seen a lot of the really bright colors on a bunch of people. Maybe that's part of the appeal. They're supposed to be gaudy, garish, and tacky?

The shoes are very comfortable. It's almost like walking around on a couple of mini-pillows. I wouldn't want to run a race in these since they aren't built for stability, but the cushioning is quite evident for just light walking.

They make my feet sweat and then I slide around in them. Yuck.

I am wearing white socks with mine, so no more foot sweating than usual. I must look a mess to anyone into fashion.

Now all you need is a red neck and some Blue Ribbon beer. :lol2:

They're usually not available in real man's sizes.:lol:

You must be a subscriber to the big feet, big ??? theory.

Well, yeah, it's no theory: big feet, big shoes. :lfao:

I used to wear sandals all summer, now I live in my crocs. Nice and comfortable, and they are easy off at airports. lol!

As ugly as they are, I've been practically living in my brown crocs since I first started wearing them a few years ago. I HATE flip flops--can't stand anything in between my toes. My feet sweat too so I'll wear socks with crocs. Super comfortable and my feet can breathe. I'll vote comfort over fashion any day of the week.

I live in flip flops (or thongs as my dad calls them... old timey California guy). Work demands "shoes" but life deems flip flops the way to roll.

I'm a bike mechanic and on my feet all day. I bought a pair of these and immediately felt a difference.

Since I'm in San Diego, it's not a big deal. I wear them with socks to avoid the clammy sensation Bill hates so much. Pretty sure footing, too.
