Croc sandals are amazing

[biostud]

Just bought a pair of these:

just because you dont find value in a item/thing/belief doesnt mean other people dont.


The hate is strong in this thread.


I am wondering who touched a few of you in the wrong place while wearing sandals?


can you show us on a MS paint doll?

 

[vi edit]

I hate flip flops but there isn't anything better than them when making the 5 minute pilgrimage to the neighborhood pool and back. They also are the best solution for trompsing around said pool.

I wear flip flops 9 months out of the year pretty much all the time outside work. I even wear it to church with tshirt and shorts. That Croc looks super comfy but it's too ugly and too expensive. My Adidas flip flop was only $13 at Costco and super comfortable. Amazon sells it for $30. But you get to get it in 2 days with Prime. That must be worth paying more than twice the price of Costco.

They banned sandals in high school, but I said fuck it and wore 'em anyway. One prick said to me I wasn't suppose to wear them. I shrugged and said so sue me.

You're like the Kevin Bacon of homosexual footwear.

Take that, society.

Oh, come on, that was funny. Railing against authority by wearing sandals is arguably even weaker than doing it by dancing.

OP,
Forget the haters. Most of them live up North where they don't have the luxury of walking around near bard feet in shorts past August.

YES, Crocs are amazingly comfortable flips and are my chosen flip brand. :thumbsup:

I wear the Modi model which is very similar in design to the Baya, which I buy every 2-3 years when the tread wears out and get them on the Croc website in January when everything is 50%+ off.

As to whether one can run in flips, that is 99% true, but the Modi strap goes back far enough that you can without losing your shoe and it's snug enough for driving, even stick shift, which I would never do with another flip. Also Crocs are great if you're heavy-set as you won't crush the sole into a pancake after a few weeks. This brand is made for anyone over 200lbs and they WILL last and give unbelievable orthopedic comfort.

The wife bought me a pair of Crocs about 7 years ago. I publicly thanked her but privately rolled my eyes because, you know...Crocs. To please her, and for shits and grins, I tried them on for a bit.

For the past 7 years I've pretty much worn nothing but Crocs, specifically the Yukon Sports. I love them. Fuck the haters because my feet don't give one single shit about them, they care only about their own comfort.

Why? B/c like the other tard, you've been proven wrong.

Here are a couple of flipflops that I own and can run in them.

Here's a little hint, if they're snug enough around your foot, you can run in them.

The one's I posted before:

The only difference is that they have a strap for the heel. I bet if I posted them without any context, you would have said that you couldn't run in them let alone 50 miles in them.

And that tightening strap across the center. Ergo they are not flip-flops, they are sandals, like the product page says. Flip flops are a type of sandal, it doesn't work the other way .

Also just because you can run in flip flops doesn't mean it's a good way to run. I'm fairly certain most people would slip out of their flip flops without training, and most don't buy flip flops that fit "snugly around their feet", that's what makes them "flip flops". They flip, and flop.

Kaido's response is what your typical flip flop buyer would say about running in them.

So to sum up, just because trained experts can do it doesn't mean everyone else can or cares to learn how to do so. The vast majority of people are and would be severely hampered running in flip flops, particularly over uneven terrain.

flip flops are the shit you dumb ass computer nerds.

 

[KlokWyze]

also crocs are not nearly as embarrassing to wear as vibrams. you get STARED at by old people. occasional laughs from complete strangers .... lol

crocs are for people with down syndrome or someone trying to match their fanny-pack, which I'm sure is also a very convenient item, that makes you look like the door guy at walmart.

 

[Attic]

Not even for walking over broken glass.

 

[justoh]

Sure you can run in flip flops. Sometimes they'll fall off, but only at like full speed, and not that often. It's not that hard. sheesh. fucking amateurs

I think the original point was "if there's an emergency and you need to run". Not "if you just want to do some uncomfortable and unstable jogging in flip flops for no apparent reason".

Because in a zombie apocalypse, the flip floppers are just barely above the fatties on the food chain.

Also, good luck running anywhere in these:

 

[rsbennett00]

I didn't read the whole thread but just wanted to say, we won't even hire someone if they show up to the interview in flip flops, that's just disgusting.

And your chiropractor hates you.

 

[chitwood]

remember when they used to be called "thongs" ?

Not a fan of thong sandals, but I recently purchased a nice pair of croc not-thong sandals. These, I think: http://www.crocs.ca/crocs-MODI-2.0-slide/15605,en_CA,pd.html?cid=070&cgid=men-footwear-sandals

Without question the greatest sandals ever made. This is my second pair. I had an old pair of croc sandals very similar to this from when they first started making them. I wore them for seven years before I replaced them. I refused to replace them with anything other than croc sandals because they are just that good. The lady at sportchek thought I was insane when I went in and asked for crocs. Ended up having to order them online because they're not in many stores.

I grabbed these too: http://www.crocs.ca/crocs-walu/1127...lu-collection&intid=mm_men_walu_loafer_140701

I really like them as well. They've replaced sneakers/tennis shoes for me almost completely. Cutting the grass is the only exception. They're really nice both with and without socks, gives some versatility.

Go ahead. Take my mancard

I have the 'Athens' model my wife bought me a couple of years ago when it was on a crazy sale or something. I was actually not a fan of flipflops at all, but these are pretty comfy.

I thought only women wear sandals with the toe thongs? I find them uncomfortable so my sandals (for beach/camping/vacationing) have always been thong free.

I prefer them because the kind without the toe thingy always give me blisters on the top of my foot.

Crocs are very well put together, whenever I do some yard work or get the mail I put them on so I don't have to put my shoes on and take them off.

 

[Fritzo]

I use to be big on Hawaiian shirts, but now I have adapted the bowling shirt.

That boat sailed with Charlie Sheen a long time ago.

As for sandals, I'm more of a flip-flop guy. I like the Nike flops. They're padded, inexpensive, and they lock between my toes so I don't have to scrunch them up to keep the shoe on.

 

[darkewaffle]

Crocs are about as ugly as it gets

Got a pair of Sanuks though and I'm very happy with them. I wish the sole wasn't so thick though.
