It could be worse. You could fall in love with someone, get married and, after years of happiness together, that person discovers Crocs and loves them to death.

My poor wife. She did say for better or worse, however.

You should get a pair of the cowboy boots

[-] ayyy@sh.itjust.works 6 points 5 months ago

New boot goofin’

[-] blanketswithsmallpox@lemmy.world 5 points 5 months ago

Meanwhile I bought my fiancee some when her second pair of flats died every two years.

She like the tye dye pattern for her new wannabe flats Crocs.

[-] cheesymoonshadow@lemmings.world 7 points 5 months ago

When's your anniversary? These Swarovski crystal Crocs would be the perfect gift.

[-] MeDuViNoX@sh.itjust.works 35 points 5 months ago

I'm sorry, I couldn't hear you over the sound of my Croc nuts slamming against my heels!

[-] ivanafterall@lemmy.world 16 points 5 months ago

A couple bumper stickers couldn't hurt.

"Keep on Crocking"

"My Other Shoes Are Crocs"

"Croc if You're Horny"

Crocking on heaven's door

[-] sirico@feddit.uk 25 points 5 months ago

If you can't handle me in my crocs you don't deserve me in my socks...and crocs

[-] hOrni@lemmy.world 25 points 5 months ago

Me walking around in my Crocs, Hawaiian shirt and harem pants.

[-] spizzat2@lemm.ee 6 points 5 months ago

harem pants

TIL. I initially assumed this was a swypo for cargo pants.

[-] corus_kt@lemmy.world 3 points 5 months ago

If you feel a lingering stare across the street, that's me. I am in awe at how comfy that looks.

[-] bamfic@lemmy.world 20 points 5 months ago

She was married to Marilyn Manson and crocs is her greatest fear?

[-] AstralPath@lemmy.ca 3 points 5 months ago

Who is this lady? I recognize her for some reason.

I really want to try crocs to see if they're as comfortable as I've been told they are. But they're so fuckin hideous

[-] TrousersMcPants@lemmy.world 13 points 5 months ago

I stopped giving a fuck and wear brightly colored Crocs as a fat hairy guy. I've never been more comfortable after a long day at work than after I started wearing Crocs daily

[-] TheBest@midwest.social 2 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

this is a man of the people. They're garish but I can slip em on without bending over so that's all that matters.

[-] Zozano@lemy.lol 6 points 5 months ago

Ditto.

Crocs are a fashion crime.

I guess they're pretty good foot fetishist deterrents though? If I was so inclined, I would rather get a footjob from a cassowary.

[-] BreadOven@lemmy.world 4 points 5 months ago

Watch out for that claw that's hidden? I can't quite remember, but what they use to kill things.

That's the point. They aren't just a comfortable shoe. They are a statement. A statement, that You value Your own comfort above what other people think.

[-] Kusimulkku@lemm.ee 4 points 5 months ago

I think they're really really comfy

[-] PerogiBoi@lemmy.ca 4 points 5 months ago

Try em they’re great. Everyone seriously avoiding them because they’re godawful ugly are just denying themselves pleasure. Don’t be a weenie, have fun with life.

Distaste for crocs just strikes me as a stupid fad and I don't even wear regular crocs. I do like the crocs flip flops that are single piece construction because they last an order of magnitude longer than standard flip flops and the plastic material they are made of of is easy to clean and doesn't hold odor like so many other types of materials that flip flops and sandals are made of.

[-] Obi@sopuli.xyz 7 points 5 months ago

I think it's just a reactionary backlash to their popularity. It's the fact they suddenly showed up everywhere all at once, were something new that departed sufficiently from older flip flop designs and created a divide in taste. I fell into that trap myself but we buy them for our kid and they're awesome! My next flip flops when my current ones die will probably be crocs. I wouldn't wear them anywhere I wouldn't wear flip flops though.

Crocs (or well fake ones since nobody buys the actual brand ones) can be really damn comfy. Best summer cabin shoes

[-] hOrni@lemmy.world 3 points 5 months ago

I bought the brand ones. They are absolutely worth it. The fake ones don't even compare to that level of comfort.

[-] Kusimulkku@lemm.ee 4 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

I'm tried them and while I didn't notice a big difference I can believe that there's a difference. I personally don't consider it worth it though when Crocs start at 30€ and generic clogs can be less than 5€. But with those quality varies a lot, so buyer beware. I've just very rarely seen people buy the branded ones is what I meant with my original post

My wife seems to think Crocs are suitable safety shoes when working with machinery in the garden.

[-] BoxerDevil@lemmy.world 4 points 5 months ago

As long as she doesn't run her feet over. Though I can't say I'm any better in flip flops

[-] aeronmelon@lemmy.world 3 points 5 months ago

When bits of sky blue foam and blood start flying everywhere, that's when you know to turn the machine off.

[-] suction@lemmy.world 8 points 5 months ago

I think Crocs can be fucking cool but it depends on the situation and the wearer. And they're the most comfortable footwear ever invented anyway.

[-] jawa21 8 points 5 months ago

I love how crocs are cheap and durable. I hate how they make it feel like your feet are constantly being stabbed hundreds of times and have no clue how someone could find that comfortable in any meaningful way.

[-] suction@lemmy.world 9 points 5 months ago

Stabbed? You mean by the little nubs inside? Dude…?!!!

[-] dave@feddit.uk 7 points 5 months ago

Erm, socks?

[-] Kusimulkku@lemm.ee 3 points 5 months ago

What sort of Crocs are you wearing lmao. Or maybe you have turbo sensitive feet??

How to spot someone who never wore Crocs.

[-] pyre@lemmy.world 5 points 5 months ago

maybe she's talking about actual crocodiles. that would be nightmarish

[-] Omgarm@lemmy.world 3 points 5 months ago
[-] TheFriar@lemm.ee 11 points 5 months ago

Isn’t it Dita Von Teese?

[-] UndulyUnruly@lemmy.world 3 points 5 months ago

It is indeed.

[-] hOrni@lemmy.world 3 points 5 months ago

And did the girl in the picture actually said that?
