Answers why wearing crocs is WRONG
1. Mmmmhmmm…..industrial rubber wedging itself into your heels…very comfortable
2. This is useful for anybody who can’t pick up their feet if their footwear weighs anything over 6oz.
3. But they don’t do anything to keep your feet WARM
4. Well, in the 21st century now they make practically every shoe with non-marking soles. What makes Crocs so special?
5. Built in with bacteria to make your feet develope that oh so attractive foot fungus!
6. This is the part where I start to think that people may have taken an overdose of their medication. People who like Crocs.
7. Only slip resistant on Pluto. Everywhere else - extremely dangerous!!! Caution! Caution!
8. But turns out the bleach and water were infected by fatal diseases!
9. Requires only months of work to kill those dreadful ‘built-in viruses’ in the Crocs! After that they still don’t look good!
10. We want wet and sandy feet because…? Can you give me a good reason?
idiot… 1. dont see a prob here… 2. light = comfort.. i sleep with my crocs on without even noticing them… keeping our feet warm? 3.this is supposed to be a freaking beach shoe dude… for warm weather.. however if u live sumwhere eternally cold there are models designed for that. crocs.com visit it…4. practically being the operative term 5. WTF?? 6. matter of oppinion and a balance of pros and cons 7. wtf?? 8. wtf 9.wtf again 10. retard.
Crocs may be comfy. BUT crocs are the ugliest shoe on the planet and then some. they make your feet look huge, stupid and clown-like. and they are not compatible with any trends about at the moment:
crocs and skinny jeans? makes your feet look even huger.
same goes for crocs and leggings.
crocs and high waisters? classy svelt figure, classy lady…….oh no, she is actually a clown on dungarees. crocs ruin the look.
crocs on the beach with a bikini? make your legs look stubby.
crocs and a minidress? and girlish charm ruined by galumphing clown shoes.
whatever crocs, you should be banned to the territory of slippers. to be worn around the house, and around the house only. when one can be sure no one will visit.
I had ABSOLUTELY no idea that Crocs have such a following between those who hate and love them.
As for me . . . I LOVE CROCS!
The first time I saw a pair of Crocs a man was wearing them; I thought they were a little bizarre looking but interesting. Then I saw a woman wearing a red pair and little colorful Crocs on children!
My first pair was puchased last summer in a store in New York City for $6.50 color: purple. I wore them all summer.
This year I bought two more pair; a light blue Mary Jane and a rainbow brushed color which I intend to wear with my lovelys.
To me summer is a fun time and what better way to celebrate than with colorful Crocs. :-)
I just want to say HOW MUCH I LOVE MY CROCS. Got my first pair last year for $9.99 spent about $35.00 for my next and this year pair i will spend close to $50.00. I was the first one in my group of friends and now everybody to themselves, to their parents to their children and beyond have a pair. They are light and perfect for my wide feet. I wear them from the time snow ends till when the snow begins again. Cant say enought about them. LOVE THEM LOVE THEM
Went to Florida last year and saw them for the first time. Ugly!! This year I decided to try them. There are a lot of knockoffs on the market, so beware. I loved my first pair so much, I went out and bought two more pair a week later. I have trouble finding shoes that fit and are comforable due to being a diabetic and have feet that are numb. Since the first time I put the shoes on, I have worn only Crocs. I intend to purchase other colors. Now I have the khaki, navy and lime green. The one thing I found out was the sizing is a little strange. I normally wear a size 7 so the chart told me I would wear a 5 in Crocs. The size 5 was too large and I ended up with a size 4. I live in Kentucky so winter wear is not feasible, but I will continue to wear them for houseshoes. I highly recommend Crocs!! They may not be pretty shoes, but comfort is everything to me.
Just like the wonderful ‘Insulted By Croc’, I have decided to make my own Ten Reasons Why NOT To Wear Crocs.
1. “Nothing is softer or more comfortable” — I beg to differ. There are so many comfortable shoes on the market today that don’t make you look like a clown. We aren’t living in the Medieval Times, people! In this day, we don’t walk around with blocks of wood strapped to our feet. There are many shoes which are comfortable AND stylish. The ‘comfort’ of Crocs isn’t anything new or revolutionary.
2. “They are hardly there (less than 6oz.)” — So are you saying all other shoes are too heavy to walk in and therefore we must wear Crocs? In the majority of shoes produced, weight doesn’t affect our comfort. Unless of course you are wearing iron boots, or have no leg muscles, or something of that sort.
3. “Air ventilation ports keep your feet cool” — When you’re moving, maybe. But when you’re still the heat floods in, and your feet sweat. These shoes, believe it or not, do not have a wide market. Here in Europe, most people wouldn’t dare to wear these shoes, even in the hot Mediterranean countries.
4. “Non-marking soles” — Not the only shoe which has non-marking soles. And they don’t do much good when on a wet surface; if anything, they are even more slippery. On dry surfaces you wouldn’t slip, no matter what kind of shoe you were wearing. Unless your shoes were covered in gasoline, or you were just learning how to walk.
5. “Resistant to bacteria and odor” — Can you back this up? If you are going to give us reasons why we should wear these shoes, why not back up your opinion?
6. “Ultra-hip, Italian styling with molded foot support” — Ultra-hip if you’re a bagwoman/man. But I agree, of course, that this is only an opinion. But please don’t try to tell us what “ultra-hip” is. The producers of neon coloured rubber clogs shouldn’t be the ones talking on terms of ’style’ and ‘fashion’.
7. “Slip resistant” — Let’s go back to point 5, shall we?
8. “Sterilized in water and bleach” — …And your point? It just seems so random. What? Where the materials infected pre-sterilisation?
9. “Easy to maintain” — Like all shoes, they will build up dirt and dust over time. Just because they’re easy to maintain, doesn’t mean you should neglect them. If you do, they’ll look uglier than they already do (and who would have thought THAT possible?).
10. “Water and sand pass through air vents” — Insulted by Croc, you took the words right out of my mouth. Sandy and wet feet. Sexy. *sarcasm*
Oh…michaelLR, your reasoning and comebacks are pathetic. “Idiot”, “retard”, “wtf” — a 5 year old could say something with more substance on this matter.
to be honest people who are replyin shud get a life and its all a matter of opinion im thinkin of gettin some but dont know what they look good with so please reply and tell me
When I first saw Crocs, I thought no frickin way would I wear such an ugly thing. But, after hearing testimony after testimony about them, I bought a pair. I love them. No shoe can be more comfortable. I own a pair of the Beach model, have bought my wife and daughter a pair and plan on buying the hiker Croc this week. Try them folks. You’ll be amazed at the comfort.
I LOVE CROCS! I have been wearing them for 4 years. My family makes fun of me but, alas my oldest daughter finally broke down and bought a pair of the mary jane style. We have foot doctors in our area that are now selling them in their offices and singing their praises. I can walk all day in crocs and my feet never hurt. As far as winter, my kids and husband laugh at me but I wear them as long as there is no snow on the ground. My feet stay warm in the winter and cool in the summer. The idiots that are knocking us for wearing crocs have probably not even tried wearing a pair. I will never give them up. You can have your flip flops, and your expensive designer shoes, just give me my crocs.
Me being the freaky little goth child I cannot exaactly support this trend of footwear. I don’t deny taht they are terribly comfortable either. I do, have a ripoff version of crocs, which I don’t wear in public. Airwalks I believe their called. They are yellow and green, actually I do wear them to school during spirit week, hey I’lll do *anything* for a little extra credit. They, ripoffs anyways, indeed very comfy. I on the other hand do think they are quite not attractive. I’ll sticks with my Vans and Chuck Taylors in public settings, nonetheless, the newer styles are trying they really are. The ‘Mary-Janes’ aren’t as clownish looking as the original models. And the flip flops aren’t too god awful. I will however be going back to school sporting the backpack from ihatecros.com, the black messenger bag depicting a pink croc with scissors being thrust into them.
I just thought I’d post and say, ‘YES CROCS ARE UGLY AS A GENEREAL RULE, BUT NO ALWAYS. YOU CAN HAVE NEGATIVE AND POSITIVE THOUGHTS ON THIS FORM OF FOOTWEAR. AND LASTLY I PERSONALLY WON’T WEAR MINE IN PUBLIC BUT I CAN SURELY SEE WHY OTHERS WOULD’
Sorry about the caps. :) But I wanted to get my point across. Also I’m only thirteen, so my views probably differ from most peoples. *shrug* Everyone else was saying what they thought I assumed it only fair for me to do so as well.
I love crocs!!!! They are soooooo comforable!! And they had designs like The Baltimore Ravens! They are soo cool and they are not ugly thank you very much! I bought mine at Dicks sporting gooods in Columbia,and they were $34.99 because they are expensive over there! I am going to Water Country USA soon, so i’ll wear them over there in the water! ***** 5 stars, and a thumbs up!
Whoever says crocs aren’t ugly must be delusional.
Whoever says crocs airnt ugly must be blind.
I have a pair of Crocs in sea foam and yes they are the comfyest shoes I own and the ugleyest. I think some of the other styles are ok but I wear Crocs for their comfort. And I love the colours!!
Sometimes I have to wonder what is wrong with the world.
I’m also going to do a top ten reasons, that’s the sort of thing I do..
The top 10 Reasons to wear Crocs:
1. Nothing is softer or more comforable - Actually, I tried a pair of crocs on and they were the least comfortable shoes I’ve ever worn. No matter what size I tried they were far too big, and rubber isn’t exactly the softest material in the world. I’ll stick with my rocketdogs, I think.
2. They are hardly there (less than 6oz.)
I don’t see why that matters at all.. I mean, the weight of shoes actually makes no difference whatsoever.
3. Air ventilation ports keep your feet cool
Generally, shoes shouldn’t NEED air ventilation ports. Most shoes don’t make your feet hot without them, it’s only crocs that need these ugly holes for coolness. And it’s not exactly like that works anyway - They’d still be really sweaty because of the materials they’re made from.
4. Non-marking soles
So basically like every other shoe on the market then, eh?
5. Resistant to bacteria and odor
I highly doubt that.. with all the sweating that would go on in crocs, I think that they’d probably be worse than most other shoes, only the bacteria won’t stay on the shoe, just on the foot.
6. Ultra-hip, Italian styling with molded foot support
Crocs may look fine on really small children, but any bigger than that and they just look like clown shoes. Do you know what I don’t understand? when people wear an entirely beige outfit, say, and bright blue crocs. It’s like you lose all sense of colour - in fact, all sense of style - as soon as you find yourself slipping on a pair. The worst is when people wear socks with crocs. Does that not stop the ugly air ventilation ports from working anyway? Oh, and let’s not forget the fact that everyone I have seen wearing crocs walks slightly like a duck - bottom pushed really far out..
7. Slip resistant
Actually, they’re probably the least slip resistant shoes I know of. Even really worn down converses grip better than they do - I have seen several people slipping over on wet surfaces wearing crocs, and isn’t that the purpose they were designed for?
8. Sterilized in water and bleach
Well done. Now why would you actually need to do that?
9. Easy to maintain
Because they can’t look any uglier, so you don’t need to bother cleaning them? I would imagine that they’d be quite hard to clean, with all the little holes and suchlike.. you’d probably find trapped sand everywhere.
10. Water and sand pass through air vents
I’m going to agree with Ulla and Insulted By Croc on this one. That’s NOT a good thing.
I love my crocs, ugly or not doesn’t matter. Comfort does. The older one becomes the more comfort rules. And there are ugly crocs in colors to match just about anything comfortable a person would want to wear with them. Save your other shoes for the uncomfortable clothes that match them. Laughing at the debate ’cause it is soooo funny.
BASED ON MY EXPERIENCE:
My Crocs have grown on me - And I really like my Off Road pair. I also have a pair of Endeavors and as comfortable as they are, the Off Roads are even more comfortable. Best of all: No more forefoot pain from lacing shoes. I don’t give a shit how they look - as long as they are comfortable.
THERE ARE NO PERFECT SHOES OUT THERE!!! SO IF YOU DON’T LIKE CROCS, FINE - YOU DON’T HAVE TO BUY THEM! BTW: OPINIONS ARE LIKE ASSHOLES - EVERYBODY HAS ONE!
lets eat nikki!!
i love crocs. if you dont like it, TOOOOOO BAD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
DOES ANYONE KNOW IF YOU CAN WEAR CROCS AS WATER SHOES? PLEASE LET ME KNOW ASAP I AM LEAVING FOR CANCUN IN 3 DAYS, AND WOULD LIKE SOMETHING STYLISH. THANK YOU
I have only worn my sis’s crocs, and they are very comfy and useful. When I go out to garden I wear them, as I can wash them off easily and they protect my feet more than flip flops do. I agree, they ARE hideous and clown-like, but there are a lot of worse things out there, such as multiple piercings, too much belly showing, guys with their pants hanging way to low, etc . You get the picture, I’m sure. If you don’t like Crocs, that’s fine, don’t wear them. But ranting about how much you hate them tells the world that you have too much time on your hands, savvy? I plan on buying a pair for gardening and camping, and maybe the beach, myself. All this debate would be funny if it wasn’t a little sad. Ciao, peoples. :D
I used to think CROCS were ugly and just a fad, but this past xmas they brought out some sports looking ones without holes in the top and I had been having a hard time finding slip/rest for my work so I thought I would try them. They are one of the best shoes I have found for work your feet don’t feel dead dog tired after work. I recently bought a pair of clogs and some slip/rest food worker clogs for work. They are the best I have seen in a long time for cheap shoes
I need men’s size 12.
I will never have money.
Please send me some shoes.
mine were 21 years old torn up.
They were clogs but not crocs.
If you can send crocs to africa for three dollars how much to send a pair to an Army Veteran who will not be returning to the workforce. I have a bed and a wheelchair. I am fed. What about shoes, socks, underwear, deodorant, razors, toothpaste, etc…
60 thousand guys need simple things like this. I am a caring person. Those folks in Africa never had shoes before and walk everywhere. I have had shoes all my life until two weeks ago when they got thrown out. I need something so I don’t bang my toes into walls and doorways and table legs turning my chair into things. You decide who needs shoes more.
Thank you.
Crocs; comfortable, not 2 sizes alike I wear 3 different sizes. There customer service stinks, not one of my emails goes answered. But I still love them although they
could be over taken if they don’t beef up customer service….Dawgs anyone?
