To those wearing crocs, what are they like? Are they soft and comfy as the media portrays them to be?
Are they suitable for summer and out about?
I wore sandals before (jesus shoes I call them), they’re not bad but crocs seems to interest me.
Second question, why should I get some crocs? Pros/Cons?
I think this is suitable here.
I tried them in a store after years of being against them due to aesthetics.
Was expecting them to be much softer and marshmallowy. They weren’t bad or anything, just not what I was expecting. For something to be that ugly (to me) and it just being some molded foam, it was still to expensive and not my look to be something for me.
I got a pair of Olukai sandals and a pair of Chacos that day. Both feel like much more shoe for the money. They both have great arch support. The Olukai are cushiony and comfy and good looking. The Chacos are rock solid in a good way. They can also be restrapped and resoled, so they won’t end up in the trash near as fast.
I was a Crocs hater for the longest time. Finally I needed some new shoes for doing tasks outside (gardening, etc) and on a whim got some Crocs. They’re pretty comfy and very convenient to slip on real fast to go outside.
Love crocs. Wear them all the time. I don’t really care if other people think they are ugly. They are comfortable, so I wear them.
Pros: easy to clean, can be good rain/pool/beach shoes because it’s fine to get them wet, come in a lot of different styles and colors, easy to slip on and off, not too expensive
Cons: most people think they are ugly, they can squeak when wet, they shrink of left in direct sunlight
I have other shoes as well, but wear Crocs quite often. I injured my foot a while back and my podiatrist suggested wearing shoes around the house for additional cushion while my foot healed. Funny enough, when I asked what kind of shoes, he suggested Crocs.
