      yeah came to piont this out. I won’t argue the ugly but feet wrapped in socks and normal shoes all day are rank while crocs feet are as good as feet ever are. Say like just after waking up.

      That’s where you’re wrong my friend! My feet get moist with our without socks and I had a pair that I used sockless for a while and they got naaaasty after a few days use. Now, I will say that they wash out nice and easy but if you’re going sockless with juicy feet for any amount of time it makes a very special kind marinade. 3/10 do not recommend.

        Could be a personal issue? Not everyone has sweaty feet. Personally I am the same way as you, swamp foot central… but I wear socks with my crocs.

        Fuck social norms 😎

          It’s only a personal issue until someone else catches a whiff 😉

          But yeah, as someone who isn’t a fan of socks having sweaty feet is a major annoyance.

      They’re actually so comfy. I used to be in the croc haters gang until I got over myself and tried them. They’re durable, comfy, cool out in the desert heat, easy to clean, and can be made to stay on my feet securely when needed. People need to get tf over what other people are wearing. Everyone has to be less comfortable because of these dweebs policing what’s “proper” to wear and it’s actually bs. Some rich stuck up aholes decided what clothing is acceptable/professional and we all just got stuck with it forever.

        Fellow croc hater convert here. I’m a disabled veteran with bad feet and spend most of time indoors wearing slippers. Got tired of buying a new pair ever year from excessive wear. Finally tried some crocs and my feet have never been happier, not to mention I’m still on my first pair nearly 4 years later. I will never not own at least one pair going forward.

    They are excellent, versatile footwear. Comfortable. Great for stepping out back to grill, to get the mail, heading to a friends pool party, fishing, the beach or anything wet, or running out for the day.

    Top tier shoes.

      Unfortunately the only thing they can’t do is preserve your dignity. That what the holes are for, so your self-respect can flow out unimpeded

        I was this way once. I was gifted a pair and had to wear them for a few days so I didn’t look like a monster in front of my family.

        Crocs are so comfortable you don’t rely on your dignity to make it through the day. My smile starts at my feet.

          Crocs are absolutely not comfortable.

          I got flat feet so that’s gonna contribute some but even flip flops aren’t that bad.

          Mine starts with a pair of Mephisto shoes. 10x the price, 10x the comfort, 20x the durability

      Doubt.

      Most popular footwear in Hosiptals are birkenstocks.

      Crocks are popular with young kids and people in the south of the US.

        This seems like you googled that and took the sponsored link as gospel. Every article I’ve seen mentions Crocs and tons of other brands over birks. I’m not even an advocate of Crocs, was just curious as I didn’t believe the birks comment and have looked in to shoes a ton over the years. Birks and toe drop are a real thing and a pain

        Speaking as a hospital worker, in a hospital, wearing crocs. Doing a fast count in my department I see 12 pairs of crocs, among about 20-ish people.

        What the fuck is a birkestock.

        This is what happens when you have a bias and then just find a search result to match it instead of caring about actual facts

    I love my crocs. Easy to wear, my feet stay cool, and the texture makes me feel like my foot is getting massaged.

    If you put them in all terrain mode, they make great river shoes. You can’t stub your toes in them like those thin slip on ones and they are bulky enough that your feet don’t get wedge between rocks.
