    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.

    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.

        Watch out for that claw that’s hidden? I can’t quite remember, but what they use to kill things.

            Nah. It was a cassowary, but they do not have the claw I was thinking (like platypus’). I guess they just jump kick with their toe claws.

      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.

    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

          I do realize. I’ve only ever seen knockoffs until I bought myself a pair. The cost is a lot different, but considering the quality and durability, I think they are worth it. I often say, that I can’t afford cheap things. The shoe theory comes to mind. Literally XD

    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.

    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.

    I love how crocs are cheap and durable. I hate how they make it feel like your feet are constantly being stabbed hundreds of times and have no clue how someone could find that comfortable in any meaningful way.

      1 pair dress shoes, 1 pair walking shoes. Okay I hear you there. What do you wear to work? How about work out shoes? Walking, hiking, running shoes? Casual date shoes? Comfortable shoes for working around the house and doing messy yard work? What about if you just want to take the trash out really quick, no flip flops for you? How about seasonal shoes? Are you freezing your feet off in the winter, or sweating them off in the summer? No boots? Are you wearing any house slippers during winter?

      Pfft. How can you even call yourself a straight guy if you don’t at least have military boots, dress shoes, cowboy boots, wellies and safety shoes??
