Who here wears Crocs? Wed, 07/11/07 8:53 PM (permalink)
A month ago i finally got a pair of Crocs. I thought they were goofy at first, but these are hands down the most comfortable thing i've ever put on my feet! Brown ones for me. I honestly feel like sleeping in these things! Anyone else like theirs?

    I have croc sticks, but you sharpen knives with them, you don't wear them. What are crocs that one can wear?

            I L-O-V-E Crocs!!!! I have a pair of red ones, sage green ones, pink ones (knock offs)and olive green "tough" ones. My daughter has blue in the same size as me (ergo, also mine...)

            I got hem when they first came out a few years ago becuase I thought they lookes cool (ugly but cool) not knwing how comfy they would be! Wow!

            Someone turned me onto their website and I see they make like 10 varieties
            http://www.crocs.com/
            I'm thinking about getting the "pretty" prima style

                I bought some Tennessee orange ones about a year ago from Mast General Store in downtown Knoxville.

                Mine are more of a high grade of rubber instead of plastic. Very comfortable.

                      My 4 year old daughter saw them last fall on my friends daughter and she really wanted them. I went ahead and bought her a pair at the base for 20 bucks (no tax, too) and i gotta admit, she looks really cute in them and surprisingly they go with almost any outfit she wears. You can't buy the knockoffs though because those make your feet stink! I haven't bought any for myself but I think I would have had it been a few years ago when no one really knew about them.

                        I have Crocs & Knock Offs (and my feet do not stink) I have just about every color, even black to go with my robe, and wear them whenever possible, they are soooooooooo comfortable. My big-footed son said he would never wear them as they made him look duck-footed, but (with the exception of when wearing this uniform) he wears his a lot. Hubby's doctor wears them all the time also

                        I also have a lot of Jib Bits (decoration for crocs)

                          Hmmm. Some amazing things go on under/behind the bench.

                            I love my crocs. I can't wear them to work (wish i could) but they are perfect for bumming around(hose them off)
                            I tried the thong sandals they make, but they were not as comfortable.
                            I see lots of waitresses, nurses and others who stand and walk a lot wearing Crocs.
                            Yes, they are incredibly ugly.

                              My first two(and still)thoughts ugly shoes and sweaty feet. The orange and blue ones go here like crazy, some people(couples or not)even buy in pairs so they can have one of each color. I think they look ridiculous, especially with socks(should be a must in the workplace though) but I guess that tones down smelly feet. No offense, but I'll pass.

                                  I tried on my nieces Crocs, and they were comfortable, that said I will never ever ever buy a pair because they are Deadly Fugly. NO ONE looks good wearing them, especially men, it makes them look ,goofy ,Emasculated, and to me they are a turn off. I told my husband if he EVER got a pair that it was grounds.....

                                    Kinda ugly, but they're growing on me. I was talking to a surgeon the other day in the airport. He was a man. He wears Crocs. Also another "man" was sitting with us, a custom home builder. He too was wearing Crocs. All while waiting out a 4 hr flight delay in Charleston SC.

                                      I think they're ugly too, but my sister, who works in a surgery center, wears them, as do most of the staff there. Very comfortable, and they DON'T slide in water, in spite of the rumors.

                                          The charter boat fisherman have been wearing them for several years. The are great on the deck of a boat.

                                          I have a size 12 BRIGHT ORANGE pair, I use them nearly every day. The are actually quite comfortable and cushion your feet and legs very well.

                                          I have a lower back problem, and when standing or walking too long, it really causes me problems.

                                          I wear my crocs when I am at an event, and my legs feel LOTS better, than if I just wore my tennis shoes.

                                          I have the B Orange, a Lime Green, and Bananananananaaa? Yellow (which stays in FL at my dad's)

                                            Judge..
                                            Being a Judge, can you wear anything under your robes?.. Or is there specific garb you must wear, and you just are "crocing" the system?

                                                  I love my Crocks and wear them all the time and they are great swimming shoes too. I admit they are kinda fugly but man are they soooooooooooo comfortable.

                                                    Love 'em. I have three pairs in basic black, navy, and taupe. Next to SAS, the best all around walking shoe.

                                                    Thinking about kicking up my heels a little and getting the LSU crocs, purple and gold. They are now selling little charms to plug in the holes so you can change everything around for the seasons.

                                                      Hubby wears the traditional pair. I have a pair with a leather band around the top with laces. We get by with this style at work. I'm on my feet 40 hours a week. I wear them occasionally, but can't take it everyday. Merrells work for everyday.

Also another "man" was sitting with us, a custom home builder. He too was wearing Crocs. All while waiting out a 4 hr flight delay in Charleston SC.

                                                        I think that crocs were totally the nurse/doctor/medical field shoe of choice for many years before Birkenstocks came along, and now crocs seem to be the "in fashion" shoe of choice.

                                                          Actually Crocs have only been around for a few years,nothing like Birks have been. BTW roossy, did your co-worker tell you i stopped by the other day? I was pretty well weathered after a couple busy days down in Pawleys.

                                                            Daughter wears the LL Bean version to work (cashier and waitressing) in bright blue to match her work t-shirt. They're soft rubbery material, rather than the foam-type plastic ones. She has four herniated discs and these shoes alleviate the lumbar pain a bit. She always wears crazy-patterned little socks with them.
