They’re Gore-Tex, Jerry!
I like to point to Idiocracy (a movie you couldn’t make today but I saw for the first time in 2024; I think it was good) which Crocs are used as shoes for the future because they were not widely available and the costume designer said “There’s no way people will wear them.”
I stand vindicated that Crocs are idiotic.
Fuck brands… But as far as the general concept of a durable, washable house slipper goes, they are great. Also wear low cut socks.
If you’re in your house then why are you wearing shoes? Just wear socks or go barefoot. Maybe they’re useful if you need to step outside for a minute to take out the trash when it’s cold outside. In my experience, regular slippers tend to fall apart if you wear them outside
Not everyone has underfloor heating
Well, I have pets who drag toys into walkways where it’s easy to step on. I also have atypical proportions and it’s a challenge not to accidentally kick a table or chair leg dodging said pets or their toys.
Furthermore, I don’t want to make people look at my feet and just socks wears down the socks/can be slippery. Socks also don’t shield my feet from spills or things being dropped on them.
You can get socks with rubber bits on the bottom to help with the slippery part, but that would not help with the rest.
Makes sense. They’re still not for me but, from that perspective, I can see why someone might like them
If you’re in your house then why are you wearing shoes?
Plantar fasciitis - I can’t even make it across a room barefoot without severe pain, so I wear slippers with orthotic inserts at home. That being said, I would amputate my own feet before wearing crocs.
Dog slobber. We have two dogs. One loves to take a big mouthful of water and run up to my wife and me with it, splashing drool water everywhere on the way. The other has recently learned this trick from him and now we have double dog drool. We don’t go barefoot much anymore.
I’m still waiting for buttfuckers to open their first store, should be any day now.
I love them for in the garden and shop. They’re hideous, but I don’t have to bother with socks or taking the miniscule amount of effort it requires to put on shoes.
I was surprised it was made back then.
Every now and then I get the feeling there might be something about them. Are they like supremely comfortable? Everyone I see wearing them nowadays seems chill and makes it look like they’re comfy.
Either that or the country has fully devolved into Walmart as Idiocracy foretold.
They’re comfy, they’re easy to clean, they’re water proof, they float, they can be worn like slippers with the straps up or can be more comfortable for walking around with the straps down, you can regularly find them for $30.
What are the negatives again?
They’re my weapon of choice
Muadib.
for a second I thought it’s some kind of bad dragon toy
It isn’t?
honestly not sure
I kind of like them 😅
My feet started sweating just looking at the photo.
My feet started sweating
How else will your stillsuit reclaim your water?
I can almost imagine that one guy wearing them bare foot
Are you not supposed to?
It’s a free country
that one guy
Dude, I’m right here!
Sure, that catches on, but not the nipple-windows.
It’s like they’re pathologically adverse to normal-looking shoes.
Those have incel fuckboi energy
Whatever the fuck that is
Where do the croc charms go? smh
