Re: Crocs (Poll)
Ever notice you rarely see Gaiters with Crocs?
And do they make Crocks in size 13?

Re: Crocs (Poll)
That would be a gross offense. Apparently even Crocs wearers have what passes for standards; couldn't find any images. But someone's thinking along those lines:I.D.10-t wrote:Ever notice you rarely see Gaiters with Crocs?
Uggs & Crocs & toe-socky shoe-ish thingums all in one. In pink, of course. And note the highly skilled cutting and stitching - there's a shoemaker out there with WAY too much time.
Somebody will. Trust me.I.D.10-t wrote:And do they make Crocks in size 13?

Re: Crocs (Poll)
I've worn them for years. I have a pair of their Yukon model which is the original Croc clog but with a leather instep. It looks more presentable if you're uncomfortable wearing regular Crocs in public.

Re: Crocs (Poll)
I tried putting my foot into a croc. I made it halfway. The plastic they're made of is not a pleasant experience for me. I was hoping more of a rubber than plastic.

Re: Crocs (Poll)
True. With that in mind, I'd like to say that I wouldn't recommend them for heavy duty wear like hiking rough terrain, construction work, etc.MTGuru wrote:And that's coming from a podiatrist, folks.brewerpaul wrote:I've worn them for years.
I wear them mainly for brief shopping excursions, around the house and yard, short walks. I too was leery of the plastic aspect of them, buy they're so wide open that they ventilate excellently and don't really feel sweaty. You can wash them if they get too grotty (sp?)

Re: Crocs (Poll)
A good point. Be wary of crocs knock-offs with a solid, non-ventilated upper. They might be good for wet environments, but they can get very hot and sticky very quickly.brewerpaul wrote:they're so wide open that they ventilate excellently and don't really feel sweaty.

Re: Crocs (Poll)
Crocs also come non-ventilated. They're popular in places like the operating room where blood and other undesirable substances could otherwise leak in. They're best worn with socks.
Some of the knockoffs aren't bad BTW.

Re: Crocs (Poll)
Speaking of wet environments, the original Crocs design started out as a boat shoe. Still great for that purpose.

Re: Crocs (Poll)
Due to the moldedness of their nature they are, of necessity, modeled on an average last. The average last is not shaped, in the least, like my feet. Most clog-like shoes of the sort favored by medical personnel are similarly boxy. As are Birkenstocks.
So, while I do not dislike them, in theory, as a knock-about kind of footwear, my splayed toes and narrow heals demand shoes that offer a supple toe material that will allow my third and fourth toes to be themselves, and an almost infinitely cinchable system (ties or velcro, or several different buckling points,) for keeping them snug on my feet.
So I can't love Crocs. I do love Haflinger slippers for around the house.

Glad you mentioned that. Their traction is good until the soles wear down. Once they get smooth, the will slide on wet, smooth floors.swizzlestick wrote:Speaking of wet environments, the original Crocs design started out as a boat shoe. Still great for that purpose.

What's an average shelf life for a well-used Croc sole?
