Invent a pair of shoes that a two year old can put on by themselves (that stay on) and you'll be a very rich man.

No, they're Heelys and they're available in adult sizes. Mine are a size 9. I've got a really sweet pair of hockey blades, but these are just some added be-wheeled fun.

I agree, I always thought they were gardening shoes. But then come to think of it I don't really see people wearing them around here unless they're gardening.

Bringing this thread full circle, this hilarious event happened today. True story:

It was a rainy day, and I was sitting in the back of a bus. A fat guy in Crocs got on, and when he went to sit down, his Crocs gave out from under him on the wet floor and he crashed spectacularly on his stomach. He took about 2 minutes to get back up because his Crocs kept slipping on the floor. And because he was fat.

It was like it happened simply because I started a thread about Crocs and God wanted me to have some material to post in it.

So in addition to bing incredibly comfortable, they also make people fall over in humorous situations. I'm struggling to see this as a negative!

Hey, I'm sure YOUR wardrobe is FILLED with tasteful ensembles and fashion-mag favourites. And I still find the idea that the black versions of these shoes are noticeable that you'd pick out a person wearing them on the street and have a good laugh pretty ridiculous. Maybe I'm underestimating the importance of shoes in the day-to-day operations of most people.

Next topic: old people wearing orthopedic shoes look like MORONS.

It's a pretty simple thing, really: Adults look goofy when wearing crocs. If that doesn't bother you, and you cannot find any other shoe on the planet that's more comfortable, more power to you.

When combined with wearing pants inappropriately high on the waist, the outline of the diaper is just so easy to see.

Necks of the woods are exactly what they're for. They weigh nothing and make for an adequate camp shoe if you don't intend to jump around in the river too much. I see them on the trail all the time.

And that makes perfect sense, because trail-wear is and should be more about comfort than looks.

That's the thing that baffles me. They're just solid blocks of plastic. They don't appear to offer comfort, support or grip.

But then again, I've never worn Crocs, and never intend to, mostly for dignity-related reasons.

Dignity means nothing compared to happy feet. I don't wear Crocs but I'm told they're comfortable as can be. They don't look it, but there it is.

I wear these and I think they kick ass. I guarantee that wearing these you can step on a frog without even noticing, and the exclamation point is a big plus.

I'm with Seabass on this one. They are just about the perfect camp shoe unless you sit with your feet too close to the fire.

Though I have seen people wear them in professional offices in downtown Calgary and I want to slap them repeatedly...but then part of that is the fact that they are also wearing Wrangler's and a Western shirt to complete the ensemble.

I find any fashion that becomes hugely popular to be somewhat irksome, be it Crocs, Uggs or Northface jackets. There are plenty more. At the same time, I wear what I want to wear and often look more goofy than fashionable, I imagine. Converse All Stars are the only "fad" I put up with and join in on. I've been wearing canvas sneakers since I can remember (starting with Airwalks until they were discontinued). I also like wearing sandals now and then, despite how very Abercrombie they tend to be.

Hilarious thread though. I laughed+++!

About every second person I see wears these plastic nightmares. In public. In lieu of regular shoes. It's like watching the slow, inexorable creep of Naziism. In clog form.

Fuck, you must be from the Midwest or something cause I don't see those pieces of shit in my neck of the woods

My roommate has gout, and his doctor recommended that he get a pair of Crocs. He says they're a godsend (he bought a black pair, for what it's worth), and make his workday much easier.

My mother-in-law is a nurse and on her feet quite a bit. She wears these things almost exclusively because they are lightweight and comfortable. Personally, I can't envision a scenario in which I would wear them.

A lot of Doctors and Staff Nurses where I work have started to wear Black Crocs to work, apparently they really are good at keeping the feet comfortable if you're job entails a lot of walking. I think the anti-Croc movement is due to the fact that most of the people here have office jobs and as such the need to be constantly on their feet isn't there. It's a practicality issue.

Really? I'm in NY and these shoes were all the rage last summer. I'm surprised it took this long to get to the rest of the country.*



*I'm sure that campers have been using these shoes for years. I'm talking in terms of fashion popularity.

I sympathize, although I'm enjoying the current fad of high leather boots, which make a much better first impression than any pair of Crocs ever could. But what's wrong with North Face jackets? People need winter clothing. North Face makes some good stuff.

Don't get me wrong, the high leather boot look is nice, for the most part (or I should say on most people), but when every 3rd female you see is sporting them... it gets a bit old. Nothin' wrong with North Face jackets either. You just see them on everyone.

...and they're all made out of ticky-tacky and they all look just the same.

Oh yeah man. Now I'm pretty used to seeing people wear them with shorts, but I have seen guys wear them with jeans. Tight jeans. Now that's just fruity. Another thing that bugs me about flip flops is that people just dip their feet in and out of them, occasionally rubbing their feet all over tables and such. Maybe I'm just anti-feet.

I picked up a pair of flip flops called reef that have a beer bottle opener in the bottom.Never wore them with jeans (that does sound fruity), but I spent three weeks walking around the Philippines in 'em and they we're comfy as hell. The bottle opener worked great too !

I just saw an actor come into an audition with some ORANGE ones.

They might be comfortable and great for walking but you look like a goddamn schoolyard retard with them.

Now, where did I leave my Von Dutch shirt, Ugg boots, Ed Hardy hat, and True Religion jeans.

Met a very hot woman Sunday afternoon. Casual, dressed well, looked great.

Until I saw the orange Crocs on her feet.

She might as well have been lying in a coffin.
