slo’s THURSDAY 1/4 poll - Crocs

[slo]

Crocs….the foam rubber shoe that was founded and introduced in 2002. I can’t remember when we bought our girls their first Crocs, but I do remember thinking how I thought it was just a fad and would never last. 22 years later it’s safe to say it’s not a fad. So I’m wondering….

Do you wear Crocs?
How many pairs do you have now?
(multiple choice)


For Me…..I do wear Crocs, but not the ones shown in the below photo . I have 3 Mammoth Crocs (one is so old that it’s only used as work in yard shoes) and one pair of dressy type sandles. They are comfortable and my Mammoth ones are so warm. My DH wears a pair around the house and DD20 has always worn them to and from the softball field. We’ve definitely enjoyed our Crocs here.

I wear the "original" kind in the summer but only around the house and yard.

 

[bobbiwoz]

I am not able to wear them.

 

[Schneewittchen37]

I have one pair, I wear them pretty rarely. They're perfect for wearing around camp in the evening by the fire or after a long hike. So maybe I wear them 3 or 4 weekends a year.

My kids are year round swimmers, they each have 3+ pairs and basically wear them every day.

They each got a new pair for Christmas. DD got the Peanuts print, DS got Jurassic Park.

 

[Meriweather]

I wear them all the time in the house.....the slide on kind. I can't go barefoot anymore, so these work great.
I have 3 pairs of those. Upstairs, downstairs and one for going in the yard.

I have 4 pair of the old school ones....like slo pictures. I haven't worn them in years. I got rid of several pairs but kept the special ones (Disney, WSU and a couple others).

And I have a dresser sandal pair.

I've never had a pair. Nor has Marie. I know Vince and the 4 grandsons wear them most of the time. Maybe Katlyn and Delaney also. For me, they look like a tripping hazard waiting to happen, to me.

I have a fake pair of Crocs and a fake pair of Croc flip flops. I wear them in the summer if I need to take the dog out. Flip flops if I go for a pedicure. Not often.

 

[Lord Manhammer]

Oh god no. I just can't.

 

[Wood Nymph]

I have narrow feet and Crocs are too wide for me. I can't wear them.

 

[soccerdad72]

I owned one pair of flip flops from Crocs, but never any of the traditional ones.

Both our boys have pairs that they wear a lot around their college campuses.

 

[fla4fun]

I have two pair of Disney Crocs that I wear all the time around the house. I usually pack one pair when I travel so I can put them on in the hotel room and not have to walk barefoot. I don’t wear them out to run errands or anything, not because they aren’t comfortable, because they are, but because of how they look. My sister calls them my Disney Parks Recovery Shoes.

 

[sarahann77]

It took me until the last 5 years to start getting into them. Wear them all the time at the house. One pair of the ones posted that I use for summer house/yard shoes. I have 3 others that are lined. Started with the disney christmas ones and then got a non-holiday pair & backup for the cold months.

 

[WDWEPCOT]

Not appealing to me I’ve never even tried on a pair so nope don’t wear them I have very narrow feet so I highly doubt they would work out for me anyway on top of that the texture of them would drive me insane hence why I’ve never even bothered to try a pair but to each his own

 

[ronandannette]

I still have the original pair I bought for our first WDW trip, all those many years ago. If I remember correctly, I sought them out because they were being RAVED about here on the DIS; I’d never heard of them before. When I found them on-line I was shocked at how hideous they looked. I ordered a pair of Nile sandals because the classics were just too ugly.

Within an hour of our first day in Epcot the little bumps on the bottom we’re starting to blister my feet and I had to make a trip back to the resort to put on runners with socks. Pure misery. Since then I only wear them as pool shoes and for very short periods of time.

 

[Babs Johnson]

None for me but DW has about 7 or 8 pairs in various colors.

 

[hertamaniac]

I wear them every day. I just bought a new pair last week and they are ultra comfortable. They had a new version at the store with some soft, feather-like material, on the inside which completely covered the holes. They were $59.99 ($10 more than traditional) and I passed. I thought once that material gets wet, it would be a sloppy situation.

 

[easyas123]

That's a no from me as well.

 

[MIGrandma]

I voted other, as I wear fake Crocs. I have 2 pair of regular fake Crocs, one for home and one up north where we camp. I also have a furry lined pair, and I have a Skechers pair. I love wearing them, they are so comfortable.

 

[LoveDaisy]

I have one pair, they are at least 10 years old and I only wear them when gardening so I can hose them off. I did not buy them, they were a secret Santa gift as I am a big gardener. I think they are ugly and would not wear them out of the yard.

How about the boots. I laughed out loud when I first saw them

 

[jimmymc]

I don't wear them, but my cousins who range from 8 to 12 wear them daily when the weather is warm.
