Crocs are fine...


...for my 4-year-old.

I can let it slide for people who work on their feet all day (nurses, cooks, etc.), but otherwise, just say "no".

I have a pair of crocs and a pair of hiking shoes that I wear to work...they really are comfortable...then again, who really gives a $*** what something looks like when you're on your feet 14 hours a day...

I have a pair of the Crocs made for chefs. Closed toed, the things actually look like normal shoes if you're wearing pants. No holes for them, and very comfortable. I wear those if I have to be on my feet after a long day at work

It's not the material, as much as the general color trend, that I don't understand.

I cant figure out why it's the people who wear a refined palette of grey, brown and beiges, that chose the kiwi green or cherry red Crocs.

I like my Crocs. They're actually warmer than most other shoes at -40 F in the winter. Sure they're kinda silly but people also wear Dr.Martens and seriously, tell me Crocs are silly when.................
