The fuck is his problem? Bullet dodged
I think is because you cant measure properly a feet with a crock so he surrender easy
Why are you all booing? He’s right!
the misspelling was unforgivable
That’s sad. I usually butcher the everliving hell out of my comments on first go
Right, who wants normal will taken care of feet when you could have sore, curly punky toe, bunion covered feet.
I forgot the guy in the story is a foot sommelier. Valid point
I can’t figure out if you like or hate Crocs
For the record, I love my Crocs
Crocs are worn by nurses on there feet so day for a reason
There’s basically two sorts of people: the one’s willing to overlook the aesthetics and the one’s who aren’t. There’s a reason hospital staff wear them. They are not designed to look good, they are designed to let the humidity from your sweat evaporate instead of letting it accumulate into a damp breeding ground ripe for a host of foot conditions. For some people it will matter more than others.
There’s plenty of Crocs designs that don’t look ugly, but I hope they continue to be unpopular as that keeps them cheap. It’s risky to switch to other brands with this sort of design, Crocs got it right.
Cross are cheap?
Certainly not that I’ve seen.
Mine were $25 new so yeah, they are cheap if you actually look. They are also really durable.
Only “real” ones (from the official original brand)
Medical people are wearing them to avoid ruining shoes with body fluids, not for sweat or breathability.
Hospitals are gross.
Source: have medicaled before.
Crocs are also good for wearing for 14 -18 hour shifts too, though, right?
I swear standard shoes all day every day, and I’ve never in my life had that issue… It sounds very medically unique.
I don’t get it either.
There are tons of cheap, decent slip on shoes, in mens womens and neutral styles, with substantial padding… and you can just put an off the shelf ortho pad in em, if you want them to be even more comfy/supportive.
I guess some people just don’t mind looking goofy as hell.
Like, they make sense as beach shoes… but… you can just… maintain shoes, you can clean them… I don’t see why you need the literal holes for venting.
I use Crocs like they are final form flipflops. Any time I’d be comfortable wearing flipflops, I just wear crocs instead. People hate on them mostly because of internet groupthink conditioning (see also: pineapple on pizza and the word ‘moist’).
huh. i never thought about crocs that way. i can’t wear flip flops for [doxxable reasons] but crocs could work. i just really really don’t like the way they look and already have good sandals. sandals that are in desperate need of maintenance because they’re old enough to rent a car. hmmm.
if i find out you’re a BRAND salesman i’ma come after you and we’ll have to i don’t know, get coffee and bagels or something and YOU’LL HAVE TO BUY THE BAGELS. you seem like a pleasant dude and that seems like a fair exchange.
Have you looked at some of their new, esoteric models? You might get along with those better.
Honestly, I stopped caring. They’re so goddamn comfortable, I can wear them outside in the dirt and simply wash them, I love the things.
see, i’m weird. we’re all complicated, right? I’m generally function over form, but like i am also a musician and so vain i think the song is about me. like except for my sandals and hiking boots i wear exclusively Børn shoes because they are sooooo comfy (and the first pair i got looked so cool. the pairs i have now are just leather, but the first ones had orange stripes!) and last a long time. like decades and stay good quality. i tend to compare them favorably to and about the same comfort and quality level as i hear about Birkenstocks (my wife has some of both brands, she says i am correct). For the average consumer (i ain’t talking the superrich, those fucks get handmade shoes probably) they are Lady Sybil level on the Vimes Scale of Boot Quailty.
So like, coming from that type of shoe snob, i might try on a pair of crocs but i will be afraid. do you know of a biblically accurate shoe salesman that can help me through the fear?
Username checks out.
She’s probably comfortable though.
Meh, for short distances or just standing around maybe. There are much more supportive clogs that don’t feel like all the energy in every step you take gets soaked into a rubber sponge and that don’t look like you’ve given up on life.
There are a lot of other more comfortable shoes in the world…
A lot of less comfortable shoes, too. And those tend to be much more expensive.
Went on a date wearing crocs. At first she laughed at me. By the end she was wearing them.
Is this a three sentence horror story?
No, it’s the plot to Predestination, where a man goes back in time and dates his female self.
She had the same size feet as you?
She’s pretty tall. But that’s also not very important with crocs.
Did y’all trade?
… It is much funnier to imagine the evil step sisters cutting off chunks of their feet, to try to fit into a croc.
Should’ve been an Ugg.
Based prince. There are two types of people in this world: ones who like Crocs, and ones with good taste.
No. There are two types of people in this world: ones who like Crocs, and ones who never tried them on.
The only time when I don’t wear Crocs is when it’s raining.
As an neurodivergent. I dont get it. They are crazy uncomfortable, and have the worst texture.
Eh, I’m a pragmatic guy, I was neutral about Crocs until I tried them on, I definitely don’t like them. First, I don’t like the footbed texture, it’s just not for me. Second, the shape of the shoes doesn’t match my feet at all, and because it’s foam it can’t really conform either, so it doesn’t feel much more secure or comfortable than wearing the shoebox. If I want comfy and easy, then I have my slides, flipflops, and sanuks that are all much more comfortable for me
I always thought they were pretty dumb, then my daughter asked for some. They had a buy two get one free sale, so I picked up a pair free for myself. They are so comfy, and if people do not like my shoes they can piss off.
I used to think they were silly. My son got some and I tried them on… I now have my own. They are great when you just want to slip something on rq.
Just one pair? O own 4. One for the house, one for the outside, one for walking around the garden and one I keep at my parents house for when I come visit.
I’m proud to be in the former group
