    It could be worse. You could fall in love with someone, get married and, after years of happiness together, that person discovers Crocs and loves them to death.

    My poor wife. She did say for better or worse, however.

    Crocs (or well fake ones since nobody buys the actual brand ones) can be really damn comfy. Best summer cabin shoes

      I bought the brand ones. They are absolutely worth it. The fake ones don’t even compare to that level of comfort.

        I’m tried them and while I didn’t notice a big difference I can believe that there’s a difference. I personally don’t consider it worth it though when Crocs start at 30€ and generic clogs can be less than 5€. But with those quality varies a lot, so buyer beware. I’ve just very rarely seen people buy the branded ones is what I meant with my original post

    My wife seems to think Crocs are suitable safety shoes when working with machinery in the garden.

        When bits of sky blue foam and blood start flying everywhere, that’s when you know to turn the machine off.

    Being queer is amazing because you often don’t have to care about a lot of I suppose “bureaucracy” around sex and love. My favorite exception is that fact that I’m welcomed for having Crocs. And that, when I slip on a dress, fancy makeup, scarf, leggings, and coat. All to look like im modling something, I can top it off with crocs.

    Here’s the pair I’ve been wearing for the last year to every fancy occasion I can

    I think Crocs can be fucking cool but it depends on the situation and the wearer. And they’re the most comfortable footwear ever invented anyway.

    I really want to try crocs to see if they’re as comfortable as I’ve been told they are. But they’re so fuckin hideous

      I stopped giving a fuck and wear brightly colored Crocs as a fat hairy guy. I’ve never been more comfortable after a long day at work than after I started wearing Crocs daily

        this is a man of the people. They’re garish but I can slip em on without bending over so that’s all that matters.

      Ditto.

      Crocs are a fashion crime.

      I guess they’re pretty good foot fetishist deterrents though? If I was so inclined, I would rather get a footjob from a cassowary.

      Try em they’re great. Everyone seriously avoiding them because they’re godawful ugly are just denying themselves pleasure. Don’t be a weenie, have fun with life.

      That’s the point. They aren’t just a comfortable shoe. They are a statement. A statement, that You value Your own comfort above what other people think.

      Comfort isn’t the main selling point. In no particular order:

      • Versatile: indoor, outdoor, dry, wet,…
      • Easy to clean
      • Easy to take on or off
      • Inexpensive (when on sale)
      • Relatively durable/reliable
      • Protects toes (unlike sandals)
      • Many colors, styles, and patterns

      I also used to hate how they looked, and I thought other people were just falling for the fad. But I bought some after literally being indoctrinated by my other coworkers at a summer camp, and never looked back. They are just such useful shoes that it really changes how you perceive them once they’ve worked for you.

      P.S. Just in case you were wondering, there are still people at summer camp that continue to hate crocs, but they’re aware they’re in the minority :p
