I loved my crocs and I had a pair at the back door and a pair at the front so I could slip them on easy. They were soooo comfy until I went out the front to put out the recycling and without any warning I fell down on a watery, muddy step and my foot went up against a solid stone wall ……… 10 weeks later and not being able to do anything because my injury was non-weight bearing, I have only just had the cast taken off from my fractured ankle and I am still unable to walk on my leg. When I had my accident I had to promise my A&E nurse that I would bin them which I did. Sensible flat grippy shoes from now on.

Crocs, the strangest shoes ever, but they deliver on comfort:) I wasn’t an early adoptor because I thought Crocs were ugly,pricey for foam, and had no function for me. The black sandals[made in China] were my first because they were “normal.” I have worn my Crocs sandals in the woods on trails, on various wet surfaces, escalators, and haven’t had ANY issues. When it’s wet,I did find the foot bed a bit slippery,but not the soles. Too bad Crocs decided they would stop making this sandal.

Customer service, I had NO issue when I needed help with my online purchase of the black sandals. Crocs Colorado did more to resolve my situation than many companies I’ve spent more money with!

All the “issues”people have listed aren’t uncommon for similar footwear. For example,to wear footwear that isn’t a running type shoe to bike has always been a stupid idea. Given the many slipping complaints, Crocs should redesign the sole so people can safely wear them whenever they want.

I now have the yellow Croc band for slippers;outlet store didn’t have orange. Want the khaki Croc band to actually wear in public:) Function, price, comfort, Crocs surprisingly work for me.

Will be more cautious,aware on wet surfaces due to this site !

My mom has had several close shaves with slipping in her crocs when walking on wet or damp floors but she loves her crocs! I dislike not only the look but the shape. I call them OGRE shoes. For people with shapeless feet! Well 2 days ago it finally happened. She slipped on wet cement and had hip replacement surgery yesterday. And who’s to blame, crocs!!!! She didnt stand a chance.

The problem with Crocs is the “three legged stool” argument. If you are wearing original crocs and the surface is smooth or hard and there is moisture you will fall. It then is only a matter of when and how severe your fall. If you fall more than twice before you stop wearing these things, then you are a victim of the “Crock Mentality”.

The most comfortable shoes I know! BUT, I’ve suffered BAD falls in wet weather and damp floors. Guess I’ll put them away for the winter. (Shucks!) Anybody know if the NEW Crocks are really slip-resistant? Even when worn?

Update,
Surgery today. I hope she gets a good result. She had a pair of. Crocs on last night. Much to my dismay. She still defends these shoes. I hope I can save one family from this pain. Crocs on damp hard surfaces are dangerous.

Crocs sued my friends, preventing them from selling their shoes for 4 years, saying their shoe were imitating crocs. My friends won the lawsuit after four years of struggle. Now Crocs threatened them that they will sue them again for whatever reason if they ever tried to sell the stock that has been put on hold for 4 years.

It is a totally unethical brand ruled by a bunch of bloodsuckers, stay away.

Have to unfortunately agree, about these shoes being very dangerous, when its wet out. The danger factor completely outweighs how comfortable these shoes are.

These shoes are DEADLY when it’s wet out. It’s too bad, because they are so darn comfortable.
