OK so not sure if this thread has been made yet, but I feel it is time. Today were are going to talk about Crocs. First off I would like to point out the fact that I was "anti crocs" for the longest time. I always thought, "man who would were those ugly things", and so on.

Last year I was shopping for some shoes in a mall because I needed something I could wear to an outdoor music and arts festival. It needed to be something light, comfy, and it needed to be a sandal I was told. I stopped by a few places, and considered a few pairs. My sister (an avid croc wearer from the begging) insisted that I at least try on these "crocs" that were supposedly like miracle shoes or something. So after much arguing and complaining I put them on :glare:. They didn't feel very "special", they didn't give me instant superpowers or anything either. I told my sister NO DICE, I will not be seen in crocs. My sister would not take no for an answer though, and she eventually made me buy them. At this point I'm mad, because first off I am spending $40 on shoes I hate, and they didn't give me any superpowers.... which is something I look for when buying sandals. Anyways I refused to put them on in the mall, for fear that a pretty young lady would see me stuntin in ma crocs and perhaps get a good laugh. So we ended up finishing shopping and going home. I ended up hopping on the computer and doing some research on these croc things. Turns out there are alot of people who wear them :chair:. The more I read about these things the more I wondered why I hadn't gotten them earlier...

All that was left was for me to put them on. I told myself that I would give them one week, and then I would wear them to the festival which was right after that. If they hadn't given me super powers by that point...then they were going to be thrown to the darkest deepest part of my closet. Well I must say the first few days were awkward, they didn't feel that comfortable, and they still looked the same. It was after we had come home from 4 days of camping that I finally realized what crocs were all about. By this time my foot had formed to the croc, making it possibly the most comfortable shoe I have ever worn...ever! They are also Antimicrobial, which means that bacteria and all that nasty stuff can't grow on them!! To this day I wear the same pair of crocs which TBH still look new, after one full year they have just started wearing down, and I wear these things everywhere!

Post your comments on Crocs!! Love them? Hate them? Dont care? POST IT!!
 
I am very much where you were in the beginning. They are quite possibly the ugliest footwear I have ever seen. Not to mention, one would think that foot smell would be a problem with all those holes.

But....I did try on a pair once and found them to be quite comfy. Maybe one of these days I will break down and get a pair. Side note, your story made me laugh. Good stuff.
 
I think they're hideous and no matter how comfy they may be, I would never wear them. I'll stick to my skate shoes and work boots.
 
gosh ppl read the whole thread!
never wore them but always wanted to buy some pairs
this just made me buy one even more
 
I personally despise the look... I mean... holes in the shoes??? Why buy shoes that already have holes in them?!?!? Just doesnt make sense.... But yes... they are very comfortable! I haven't bought any myself, but have several friends who, like your sister, are walking, talking advertisements for the things. I like the feel of them, but dont like the look. I might get them for some house shoes one day, but that day has not come.

I have two pair, one for yard work, gardening and general around the yard stuff, and a nicer pair I wear for going out. Yes they are ugly, but my feet absolutely love them.
