NYT article saying crocs (unlike zoom or peloton) have endured past the pandemic splurge: www.nytimes.com/2023/03/27/business/crocs-sales.htmlOnce, way pre-pandemic, someone tried to give me a pair and I refused. So I've never really tried them. Does anyone here wear these? |

I am guessing that you want to hear from people that do wear them, not people like me. I don't wear them. But I want you to know that if you choose to wear them, that is okay. We can still be friends. In fact, you might be able to convince me that I should wear them.
I think I have friends who do wear them, but sometimes when I come to their door, there is some shuffling going on, as though they might be hiding their crocs.
Now as to gators, I do have a pair. I have not used them yet, but did take them on a couple trips where I was worried about walking through deep snow. I have never thought about hiding them when friends come over. I don't know if that says more about me or more about gators.

Crocs. There not just for breakfast anymore. I have some foot issues. Nueropathy and a torn ligament. Anyway, some time ago I got some crocs just to use for yard work. I found they soften up over time and become quite comfortable. And if they get in mud or grass stuff you just wash them off with a hose. Obviously they only work when the weather is appropriate for sandals, I’m probably on my fifth pair, they seem to last about a year or two. I would agree that you need to be over making a fashion statement when wearing them, as they are not pretty. But comfort trumps everything, at my age.
The other ridiculously comfortable sandal is Oofos. I have those too.

I wear Crocs, but only when I'm going after grouse. They are the perfect rock hard rubber shower slippers for the woods.  |

My cardiologist wears them. I trust his other decisions.

My brother's feet are so bad that crocs are all he can wear comfortably. On his feet all day as a periodontist.

They are great to wear when you are washing the car or just need to slip something onto your feet to go outside. I like mine, although I don't often wear them.
But don't try to take away my Birkinstocks. Seriously. I even have Birkenstock slippers.

After a long day in the woods shooting animals, I do like to come home, take a long, hot shower, slip into my pink Crocs, open a box of chocolates, pop the cork on a gallon of rose, and have a long, intimate conversation with my cat.  |

They're plastic. How can your feet be comfortable wearing plastic?
Or do you wear socks with them?

They look a little like a smaller version of the red shoes Bozo wore.

Mike But no plastic is absorbent. So, unless you wear socks, your feet are swimming in their own slime. |

You would be surprised. |

Anyone remember these? I actually had a pair back in the Pleistocene Era.  |
