I Hate Crocs!!!!

#26
Best deck shoes ever (non-skid, won't leave marks on anything), best working-on-a-hard-surface shoes ever (like having a personal fatigue pad under you all day) and in general a huge global innovation in feet. Ask the buttzillion nurses, kitchen workers, Marina crew, and warehouse staff that swear by them, and then talk to me about "fashion sense".

What a load of crap. Your precious "Fashion Sense" has included bell bottoms, Members Only jackets, pants the size of circus tents, and girdles so tight they eventually killed their wearers.

Puhleeze beeyotch, I could care less what someone thinks of what's on my feet. I've said this in other threads, and I'll say it again: if your game hinges on your shoes, then you gots no game, mang.

do they make steel-toed crocs???

i dig them on the utility tip. the idea's sound for many reasons, like you say. but... i hate them for some reason. maybe it's the way i see them worn all the time in LA.

maybe it's just that i hate LA, and crocs are one of the myriad targets for my hatred.

I wear crocs all the time. In fact, it's the only thing I wear cause I got no nice shoes, only that one pair of crocs. Yep, using it over and over and over since last year (the same pair)

and I WILL buy more pairs when I get the cash.
Why? It's looks like friggin' shoes when it's slippers. Perfect for lazy guys like me. Besides, a lot of air gets into your feet, so it dosn't sweat much and get hot.

I WEAR CROCS. SWEET.

Sounds like someone has caught alot of flak for his hideous looking, yet awesome deck shoes. :smug:

Comfortable or not, I just can't wear any shoes that almost beg me to be wearing a housedress with it. Also, I've seen a TON of recalls from various makers of these lately...either they're not as hypoallegenic as to be believed or there are safety issues, so they cannot be ALL that.

I've had tevas, burks, and even leather toe cap sandals that are as light, (really, a couple ounces is quibbling, come on now) airy, and comfortable, yet don't look as dorky.

There have been no recalls of Crocs, only the cheapo knock-offs. They only cost 30-40 bucks in the first place, if you're buying knock-off crocs you are obviously getting what you pay for, lol.

That being said, I don't wear mine much with shorts. Usually just with long khakis that cover most of them anyway. Mine are cream colored and pretty innocuous.

And good grief, they are just shoes people. You HATE shoes? Especially extremely comfortable/functional shoes? Y'all just sound silly to me. They're freakin' SHOES, lol.


At a few festival shows this Summer if Los Blancos was playing late enough, I even wore crocs and SOCKS! Heaven on feet, baby.

Don't be hatin'
