[–] NahMarcas@lemmy.ml 11 points 3 days ago (1 children)

[–] sad_detective_man@sopuli.xyz 8 points 3 days ago (1 children)

It takes guts to wear crocs!

[–] jeffep@lemmy.world 4 points 2 days ago

Why did it take him all the way to her room to find out it's a croc? He doesn't seem to be very bright

[–] TheObviousSolution@thebrainbin.org 32 points 4 days ago (16 children)

There's basically two sorts of people: the one's willing to overlook the aesthetics and the one's who aren't. There's a reason hospital staff wear them. They are not designed to look good, they are designed to let the humidity from your sweat evaporate instead of letting it accumulate into a damp breeding ground ripe for a host of foot conditions. For some people it will matter more than others.

There's plenty of Crocs designs that don't look ugly, but I hope they continue to be unpopular as that keeps them cheap. It's risky to switch to other brands with this sort of design, Crocs got it right.

A. hospital staff definitely don't wear Crocs, they're actually forbidden at every hospital I've worked at for being open-topped

B. The last time I bought Crocs they were 75USD for an adult and 35USD for babies sizes. That's not far off the price of actual running shoes 

A. Another comment (and my own observations - not even in the US, so no idiocracy factor either) prove otherwise. They claim it's to deal with bodily fluids (I guess sweat doesn't count for them). B. Not a shared reality. Your market, your choices I guess, but even amazon.com (US market) disagrees on the prices you are claiming.

I have weirdly wide feet and crocs are the first shoes I've tried that I can wear all day long and not be in pain. I don't care what they look like, I am just overjoyed I can walk around the city all day and don't want to cry 5 minutes in cause my feet hurt too much.

[–] Lucidlethargy@sh.itjust.works 21 points 3 days ago (1 children)

I swear standard shoes all day every day, and I've never in my life had that issue... It sounds very medically unique.

[–] sp3ctr4l@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

I don't get it either.

There are tons of cheap, decent slip on shoes, in mens womens and neutral styles, with substantial padding... and you can just put an off the shelf ortho pad in em, if you want them to be even more comfy/supportive.

I guess some people just don't mind looking goofy as hell.

Like, they make sense as beach shoes... but... you can just... maintain shoes, you can clean them... I don't see why you need the literal holes for venting.

[–] Zorque@lemmy.world 16 points 3 days ago (3 children)

I don't know if you have another definition of cheap, or just live in a different worse off market.

[–] njm1314@lemmy.world 9 points 3 days ago (3 children)

Certainly not that I've seen.

Medical people are wearing them to avoid ruining shoes with body fluids, not for sweat or breathability.

Hospitals are gross.

You' re right about the reason and probably about their qualities.
But keep them in hospitals or at home.
Wearing these grotesk in public where everyone has to see them is a form of pollution

[–] Valmond@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 2 days ago (1 children)

So crocs are for sweaty people.

😁

Good thing you will never have to worry about that!

She’s probably comfortable though.

[–] Imgonnatrythis@sh.itjust.works 29 points 4 days ago

Meh, for short distances or just standing around maybe. There are much more supportive clogs that don't feel like all the energy in every step you take gets soaked into a rubber sponge and that don't look like you've given up on life.

[–] Lucidlethargy@sh.itjust.works 15 points 3 days ago (1 children)

There are a lot of other more comfortable shoes in the world...

[–] Zorque@lemmy.world 5 points 3 days ago

A lot of less comfortable shoes, too. And those tend to be much more expensive.

[–] bjoern_tantau@swg-empire.de 24 points 4 days ago (4 children)

Went on a date wearing crocs. At first she laughed at me. By the end she was wearing them.

[–] albbi@piefed.ca 21 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Is this a three sentence horror story?

[–] tetris11@feddit.uk 6 points 3 days ago

No, it's the plot to Predestination, where a man goes back in time and dates his female self.

... It is much funnier to imagine the evil step sisters cutting off chunks of their feet, to try to fit into a croc.

[–] abfarid@startrek.website 9 points 3 days ago

Should've been an Ugg.

[–] Agrivar@lemmy.world 7 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago) (7 children)

Based prince. There are two types of people in this world: ones who like Crocs, and ones with good taste.
