slo’s THURSDAY 1/4 poll - Crocs

[kanerf]

I wear 3E-4E in width. They don't make Crocs like that as far as I am aware.

 

[PollyannaMom]

I don't own any, but my DS has a pair of the fuzzy-lined black ones.

I do have garden clogs that I wear in the yard, but they don't have holes like Crocs:

I don't have Crocs. I have a Croc-like shoe I got on sale at WalMart several years ago. I use them as my "inside shoes" in our RV.

They’re the “in thing” now with teens around here. All of my kids own multiple pairs. I have 2 pairs one fur lined one not and i wear them daily for errands, shopping, dropping kids places, soccer practice etc. but for dressier occasions I obviously don’t wear them. They’re super comfortable and so easy to just slip on. I wear them in the Disney parks too and I’ve never had a single blister or sore feet while wearing them.

I love my crocs! I wear them everywhere. I have old ones with just the Mickey shaped holes, as well as Christmas ones, Halloween ones, 50th anniversary ones, pink ones with Minnie ... I could go on and on. I also do have a pair of just black ballet flat type crocs that I wear to more "fancy" occasions. No blisters ever when I wear them. My go-to shoe always.

Only when forced. I worked in a hospital in an epicenter during the first 2.5 years of the pandemic. For the first six months, we were required to wear (and provided with) Crocs or other brand equivalents. They were terrible for my feet and my back, and I switched to sneakers before we were technically allowed to do so.

I wear them at home, and in the yard. They are perfect for hanging out on the patio, taking out the garbage etc... I do NOT wear them in public though. I have a few pairs... I have some lined ones for winter, I also have a couple different colors in the regular ones.

My wife had a pair of the fuzzy ones which she liked for about a month. Then she took them off and her feet could clear a room and she was done with that. Funny enough, my sense of smell is kind of fried from years of smoking so I didn't even notice.

Hard pass. I am on the Anti Croc Committee.

 

[BlueStarryHat]

Yes, I have a pair of Crocs, after I swore up and down I'd never buy them. Well, my sister bought us both a pair for our September 2022 trip to WDW and I felt obligated to wear them...and I LOVED them. Comfy, easy to walk in. Ugly, yes-but I was far from the only person wearing them. I came home from that trip with my feet feeling way less sore than usual. I will definitely wear them again on our next WDW vacation.

Speaking of, where’s the head of that committee, @Mysterian? As the DISboard’s #1 crocs hater, he should have weighed in on this thread by now.

 

[disney4us2002]

I have never had them but I'm intrigued by the fur-lined ones so I may buy a pair in black or brown.

 

[mamamary]

I have 4 fuzzy lined pairs and 1 pair of the flip flops. A few years ago I had painful plantar fas. In my foot. My doctor said to stop being barefoot in the house. She recommended crocs. Since then I’ve been wearing them faithfully- indoors only (though except for the flip flops.)

 

[georgina]

I don't wear them and have zero interest in them. I think DH may have had some croc slides at one point but he now prefers Oofos around the house. When 28 year old DD was home for Christmas she took her purple crocs back to SF with her (yes she keeps clothes and shoes here so she doesn't need to pack much when she comes home)

 

[Tink-osophy]

I have one pair (in a jazzy color) for going outside outside to the garden/garage. I resisted them for years, but now I have a pair I understand their popularity. They're quick to put on and cool and comfortable to wear. I'm a little bit tempted to get another pair.

 

[Christine]

I tried to wear them a few times and then again after foot surgery but for some reason, those shoes just hurt my feet. I have no problem with other "plastic" shoes (Hoka or Oofoes) but Crocs hurt for some reason.

Yes,I am not only the head, but I’m also a proud member of this esteemed group. Membership is open, and yet so many wish to keep their precious feet adorned with such eyesores. That’s my official quote for the news outlets - and I know they are reading!

I’m intrigued by the fur-lined ones too. Like, how many can I fit into a dumpster?

I had a lot then got rid of them including a pair with Mickey heads for holes. Then I got a pair at the FGF this year and now I have two pairs. I wear them around the garden.
