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.

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.

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

[-] BoxerDevil@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

You should get a pair of the cowboy boots

New boot goofin’

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

[-] ivanafterall@lemmy.world 16 points 1 year 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

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

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

[-] sirico@feddit.uk 24 points 1 year ago

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

[-] numberfour002@lemmy.world 20 points 1 year ago

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 6 points 1 year 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.

[-] atx_aquarian@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

I had some and couldn't stand them. The material would pull my foot hair, and they reminded me of orange peanut candy. And the squishiness didn't feel foot-shaped, to me. It just felt like mush. I need arch support and a firm platform. So I hate on them because they strike me as foam toys rather than shoes.

[-] Obi@sopuli.xyz 3 points 1 year ago

But what if you don't compare them to shoes but just to flip flops?

[-] atx_aquarian@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Fair point, I actually mainly wore flip flops and preferred Reef and now ~~Ulukai~~ Olukai. Those checked almost all my boxes, though none of those give a firm enough platform compared to good walking shoes, so I shouldn't hold that point against Crocs.

Edit: I mixed up Olukai shoes with ~~Ukla~~ Uukha archery gear, oops.

Edit 2: I mixed up Uukha with Ookla. /facepalm

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

[-] BoxerDevil@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year 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 1 year ago

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

[-] jawa21@lemmy.sdf.org 11 points 1 year 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 8 points 1 year ago

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

[-] dave@feddit.uk 7 points 1 year ago

Erm, socks?

[-] hOrni@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

What are You talking about? What stabbing? For me they're the most comfortable shoes I've ever worn.

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.

[-] hOrni@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago

How to spot someone who never wore Crocs.

[-] pyre@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

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

[-] Omgarm@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago
[-] TheFriar@lemm.ee 11 points 1 year ago

Isn’t it Dita Von Teese?

[-] UndulyUnruly@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

It is indeed.

[-] psmgx@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago
[-] hOrni@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

And did the girl in the picture actually said that?

[-] BoxerDevil@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

What about flip flops
