Do you drift slightly when you walk?

[–] user224 13 points 2 months ago

Considering that Slovakian road workers are surprised by snow during winter every winter, yes, I do drift.

No, that's reserved for Nintendo's upcoming Crocs collaboration, the Joy-Con Crocs!

I have reached the stage where I will wear crocs. Human services helps/my feet hurt/ they are universally accepted.

But I refuse to accept they are a premium piece of footwear. They have become so insanely overpriced for what they are (in general)I have found myself buying knockoff crocs…

I don't mind Crocs myself. But I do find this to be a bit on the absurd side. XD

my family would institutionalize me if i said this; correctly inferring my brain had broken in some catastrophic manner

Faux crocs are awesome and comfy!

[–] sparkles@piefed.zip 1 points 2 months ago

Yeah I’ve had both and can’t tell the difference. Guess it depends on where you get them.

[–] Xenny@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago

Crocs actually make a fantastic pair of kitchen shoes. It's not really a croc anymore since they cover all the holes but it's a really comfy pair of shoes to ride a shift out in.

[–] nocturne@piefed.social 2 points 2 months ago

I have a real pair of Crocs, and my son has a knock off pair. The real Crocs are so much more comfortable than the knocks are, fully worth the price difference.

Did... Did they call them xCrocks?

[–] Deathray5@lemmynsfw.com 4 points 2 months ago

Porn with people wearing crocks for those with very weird fetishes

[–] FilthyShrooms@lemmy.world 12 points 2 months ago

Sadly you need to sign in to your Microsoft account to wear them properly

[–] Lembot_0005@lemy.lol 12 points 2 months ago

Now you can safely throw something controller-like to the wall. Or punish your good-for-nothing gamer kid...

[–] QuentinCallaghan@sopuli.xyz 12 points 2 months ago (1 children)

How about having exclusive games and actual effort in competing in the console market?

[–] homesweethomeMrL@lemmy.world 6 points 2 months ago

Silence, consumer!

[–] aeronmelon@lemmy.world 10 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Still easier to hold than a Duke. :)

Who's gonna be the first to flawless complete Darksouls using the Crocs controller?

[–] TisI@lemmy.zip 9 points 2 months ago

Have you seen this monstrosity? This is real! It's a fucking Balenciaga crocs.

It's real? I saw some ads/page on FB about it and thought it was AI generated or some kind of jokes, WTF?!?

[–] tonytins@pawb.social 4 points 2 months ago

It's real... Apparently, they once parented with Adidas. Microsoft really likes 'em shoes, I guess.
