Do any of you guys wear Crocs shoes and if so, how do you like them...?
-
Never. Ever. Ever.
-
I'm a Reef (sandal) flip-flop man, me'self. I could see the benefit of Crocs for gardening and in wet weather, but I don't own any.

I love them, love them, love them. I'm wearing a pair right now. I dont wear the type with the holes unless I happen to be at a water park, which doesnt happen that often, but I have around 20 pairs of Crocs of different designs. The ones I'm wearing right now are blue canvas with a while sole. I dont think there's anything more comfortable on your feet than a pair of Crocs.

That's a great endorsement Andy. Thanks.

Do you buy them online or is there a store near you that you can check out the differnt models.
-
There are only three or four Crocs stores in the UK and they're horribly horribly HORRIBLY expensive, far more expensive than in America, and none of them are anywhere near where I live. They just opened a new store a couple of weeks ago but it would take me about 2 hours to get there :(
Most of the Crocs I have were bought either at the Crocs store at Dubai Mall in Dubai (obviously) or at the Crocs factory store in Las Vegas. I have bought a couple of pairs in the UK but they're way too expensive here, just like everything else.
I wouldnt buy them online (which applies to all shoes and clothes) because I like to try things on to make sure I wont have to return them.

Good idea. I'll have to hit the Atlantic City store rather than online.

I love them, love them, love them.
Do you decorate them with little charms that you've traded with your friends?
-
Yep, in fact one of my friends in Shreveport is mailing me a beaver charm this afternoon. Cant wait to receive it.

You're the Imelda Marcos of Crocs ;D
-
lol, true, apart from the fact I dont have an entire wing of my house dedicated to them :D
-
i love 'em too...got a pair on the back porch, a pair on the front porch and my 2 dress up pairs in the house...and ditto for my beautiful partner. we get them at the local flea market for $5 a copy and sometimes 3 for $10 and they have all colors. it's silly to pay thirty bucks a pair for them, imho.

-
Ive bought fake Crocs (or wannabe Crocs, or 'generic' Crocs), and they've never been as comfortable. I wish I could buy Crocs here for $30, but they're more like £50 a pair, which is around $70.
For me, the least comfortable Crocs (but still extremely comfortable) are the original Crocs with holes in. I only wear those in the summer, and only when I dont want to impress anyone.
-
I just don't see it, but have always heard they are comfortable.
-
Dont forget though, there's a ton of different designs. Most people think of the type with the holes when they think of Crocs, but there are an awful lot more besides the ones with the holes. They're supremely comfortable, all of them.
-
I just don't see it, but have always heard they are comfortable.
At first I didn't think they would be comfortable or cool, but I took the plunge. Go 'head and spring for a cheap pair at CVS or a flea market. You'll only be out a couple bucks if you don't like'um.

Real men do NOT wear Crocs.
And real men don't get beavers in the mail....... they go out to the bar to find them. ;)
-
I have to agree Mike, I think they are ok if you plan on wearing a skirt with them.........................come on, do these really look like something MEN should wear?????Don't let society remove all of our balls.

It would be a sad state of affairs if being a man was defined by the shoes we wear.

CROCS could be the ugliest, silliest shoes walking (literally) the face of the earth.

You forgot to add...in your opinion.

The opposite of which would be 'unreal men do wear Crocs'.
It would be a sad state of affairs if being a man was defined by the shoes we wear.
I agree.
Nobody ever said that Tom
Uh, yeah, they did. "Real men do NOT wear Crocs"
Maybe I read this wrong.
Hmmm. No, I dont think so...
I'm sure you read it correctly
I think he did too.

I got it...if you don't dress like me or the way I like, you ain't a man. Sounds like there are several "guys" that are very sexually insecure....Hummm?
:/O :/O :/O :/O

I never said anyone had to dress like me. I never said anyone wasn't a man...... and I certainly didn't say anything in any way about sex. Looks to me like your reading comprehension skills are lacking.
Why don't you just hand me that giant spoon that you've been using lately to stir things up around here?
-
Original question was...................do we wear them and if we do, do we like them??? I say no I do not wear them and I think they look ridiculous on men. Just my opinion ''slynito''.I f you think they look good then good for you.
-
Do any of you guys wear Crocs shoes and if so, how do you like them...?
hey tom: no.. i don't wear them because i think they R the "ugliest" footwear ever (male or female). of course that is my humble opinion but if U like it that is all that matters.

Crocs are ugly. If I have to wear shoes I like Vibram Five Fingers or flip flops. My preference has always been to just be barefoot. Went through college mostly bare foot when it was warm enough. At my office I kick off the shoes as soon I get there. To tolerate dress shoes at all I buy them 1 size bigger so they are wider and less confining. I just dont get why AMericans like shoes so much and hate to see people out barefoot. WHen I was in Sydney Australia I saw many people barefoot everywhere. Stores, restaurants, buses, subway...it was great:)
-
I think this is a classic case of mis-understanding. Not misunderstanding, but mis-understanding.
To say 'crocs are ugly' is like saying 'humans are ugly', or 'girls with big tits have no brains'.
There are so many different Crocs shapes, sizes, designs, patterns and colours that its not possible to find all 300+ types, past and present, to be 'ugly', and I personally wouldnt wear any of the shoes, after looking at the site I might consider some of the Realtree patterned sandals/flip flops but thats about it is a completely contradictory sentence.
To say 'Jeez I really hate the type of Crocs that look like plastic boats with holes in because they're really ugly' is one thing, but to say 'Crocs are ugly' is an ignorant statement to make. Not in a 'you are ignorant' way, but in a 'you obviously havent looked at their website to see how many styles they make' way, or in a 'I'm assuming you havent given very many of their shoes a test-drive' way.
As for the 'real man' thing, I tend to think the way a man lives his life, his general demeanour, and the way he treats himself and other people defines him as a 'real man', and the shoes he wears on his feet are nothing more than shoes he wears on his feet. As the old saying goes, 'clothes dont make the man' is quite true, and is in the same league as 'you cant judge a book by its cover'. You dont need to wear a stetson, or bikers leather, or a Bandana, or an American football outfit, or a firemans uniform to be a 'real man'.
Many girls with big tits do indeed have brains, and many guys who wear Crocs are also 'real men'.
-
Crocs sells millions and millions of it's shoes thru it's outlets world wide so they must be doing something right. I guess I'll just go for the 30 bucks and see for myself.

I doubt you would make the same smart ass remarks to my face. It's easy to hide behind the internet.
That comment about the spoon was made because as a Moderator on this Forum I've received two complaints
already about you in PMs.

No I don't and you can't make me.

Hmmm i have re read all the posts on this topic(thread) and either i missed a whole bunch or don't understand the response to the opening question.As i read it it said"Do any of you guys wear crocs shoes and if so how do like them"
Nobody who doesn't wear crocs or hasn't tried them shouldn't have answered.
what non-wears think of them or their opinion of them wasn't asked for.
if the thread had started hey what do you guys think of croc's then all reply's would have been valid
i may wrong but it's how i see it. it's one reason i don't reply more often sometimes the questions are worded so i feel i don't have a direct answer so i remain quiet instead of interjecting my opinion when it's not really being asked for

Three more complaints about you in the last three days. Keep'em coming big boy.

I'll have to respectfully disagree with you on this one Tow. Look at the first part of the question..... "Do any of you guys wear Crocs?"
That can be answered yes or no. Really, if Tom wanted the opinions of only those that wear Crocs, the question should have been more like..... "Can you guys that wear Crocs tell me what you think of them?" No offense to Tom meant here.
Splitting hairs a bit.... I know.

Saw the "Croc store" in the middle of the mall yesterday. Circled it and just couldn't see anything I would like.

For all that have read or commented in this thread.....
You'll notice that my original comments had "smileys" after them. This indicates a little "tongue in cheek" going on..... much the same as putting "LOL!" after a comment. In addition, anyone that has been around the Forum for any length of time knows that comments like that are my way of poking fun and delivered with no harm intended.
Responding to those kind of comments with any personal attack wasn't really necessary, thus my agitated, and non smiley, responses.
I will apologize to Tom, the OP, for my initial comments because I inadvertantly wound up steering this thread in the wrong direction.
My apologies Tom.
I'm going to suggest that this thread return to what was originally asked by Tom.

for what it's worth, I still think they're ugly shoes.
Now I will insert several Koz smileys..... ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

I just checked to find out what ur opinion re Crocs was worth and unfortunatly came up with ZERO...Sorry.. ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

I do agree they are not attractive footwear, but about 30% of my friends (some of who wear crocs while telling me) say I have the ugliest shoes on the planet. YEP, VIBRAMS FIVE FINGERS!!!!
In the 110+ AZ summers I am in Birkenstocks, in the winter (starts soon I hope) I wear my Vibrams 5 fingers, yep some think they are ugly but I can NEVER go out without at last one person stopping me and asking about them. They are designed for running and my pastor and best friend clued me onto them, he runs marathons in them. For me they prevent me from shuffling my feet when I am able to walk it tones my muscles AND the thickest part of the soul is 3mm so I feel every pebble and crack. I simply LOVE LOVE LOVE them
Do you still think Croc's are uglier? I do. 5 Fingers are just "unique".
P.S. I am glad to know I am not the only on here that wears them.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. It's the old rule that we apply to shaved heads, if they make you happy then that's all that counts.

I've got 2 pair of Crocs and wear them in the kitchen and when working in the shop and similar activities. Not crazy about them when I'm doing alot of walking since the traditional style tends to slip on my feet. But they are incredibly comfortable when standing on a hard surface.
Also, when they get cruddy they clean up very easily. I agree they are ugly - but they're on my feet and if anyone is spending too much time looking at my footwear there are bigger problems going on...
So far as the "real men don't wear Crocs/eat quiche/etc" nonsense - real men don't give a damn about peer pressure and they do whatever they damn well please (so long as it's legal...)

This thread has been informative if you do read it slowly word for word. It shows how we can easily mistake what was really meant by the way we express it. I don't think any of the postings were really meant to hurt others feelings but it wound up happening anyway.
-
The problem, IMO, is that we don't have the luxury of seeing people's facial expressions or body language or being able to hear their tone of voice. The internet giveth and the internet taketh away.
-
A friend of mine has a couple of pairs that he really likes. Unfortunately they aren't made big enough for my feet so I'm out of luck.
-
My preference has always been to just be barefoot. I just dont get why AMericans like shoes so much and hate to see people out barefoot.
This raises an interesting dilemma. I notice all the time, especially in restaurants, signs that indicate that if I'm not wearing shoes (and shirts) that I will not be served. Really? Do the proprieters actually believe that if I'm barefoot I'll be LESS CAREFUL about stepping in dog crap or human spit than I would be if I was wearing shoes?
Just sayin'. Cause I love my KSOs and I'm one of those people that would probably go barefoot, too.
What's next? No shirt, no shoes, no gloves, no service.
-
Michelle, wears them....Bush, wears them and I'll bet Palin has a closet full of them. Crocks rock!
