You have really good looking feet! I wish I could smell them
YES YES YES. This is exactly why ive been wearing crocs for years now. I wore sandals for many years before that because shoe designers with their "arch support" soles ended up fuckign up my ankles too. Once I started walking on flat sole sandals every day, all my ankle problems went away, but i also noticed my toes were spread out properly and all my weird toe problems went away as well, from ingrown nails to painfully squished toes. But i would stub my toes sometimes in sandals and it would really suck. So i started wearing crocs when i noticed they had this actually intelligent Toe shape. and the best added bonus is that crocs just like rubber sandals can be washed constantly, you can just take them in the shower. and that has resulted in a massive reduction of bacteria in my shoes which completely ended a chronic athletes foot problem i had ever since i was a child. I havent had athletes foot is many many years now all because I can simply wash out my shoes whenever i want.
Crocs are hands down the best shoes on this planet from an objectively intelligent perspective. the only real problem fashion wise is the conspicuous holes on the top of the crocs. If the company just put a thing mesh over the top of the shoe to hide the holes in the rubber, these shoes would be perfectly acceptable to basic modern fashion. Especially if you buy the style crocs ive been buying called: Off-Court style. take a look at them they look more like normal classic shoes. I absolutely love love love them. Gimme a thin mesh on the top to hide those unsightly croc holes, and i am a customer for LIFE
I advise you to search the Internet for types of feet
@@abdulaz1z899
"The Egyptian foot is characterized by a first toe that is larger than the others. It is the most common foot type, occurring in 50.8% of the population
The Greek foot, which is characterized by a 2ᵉ toe that is larger than the others. It is found in 40.2% of the population
The square foot or Roman foot where the first 4 toes are aligned. It is present in 9% of the population"
in all cases the croc design makes more sense because while a greek foot can fit reasonably well int eh croc design, the egyptian foot (50% of feet) dont fit as easily in to the standard shoe because the standard shoe is still pointed toward the outer edge of the foot even compared to the Greek foot. and the roman foot it makes basically no difference at all.
Therefore the croc design makes the most sense.
“Aight bro lets go”
“Hold up, lemme take off my standing shoes and put on my movement shoes”
Ooh. Someone never worked as a cashier!
Or just put the crocs into "sport mode" 🤣

Literally if you get a normal color like white they aren’t ugly and they are really practical for if you want a slide type of shoe but if you need to do something that needs more support you can change them to sports mode like yes
@@Tesslyn-. I usually wear them when I’m in comfy clothes so even my light pink ones don’t look bad cause I wear them with sweatpants and white, black or pink socks

My son had to wear his crocs for an entire 41 mile backpacking trip. He brought them as camp shoes and only realized he forgot his hiking boots after we drove 2 hours to the trailhead. We weren’t sure the crocs (or his feet) would make it, but after a 5 day hike with lots of rain, water crossings, and a snowfield, he and the crocs were just fine.
You can still call crocs idiot shoes though, since he was an idiot for forgetting his boots.
Best part about Crocs is the drain holes

They are called an idiot shoe because they were in a film called idiocracy.

Crocs is the good kid that's always targeted by those bullies at school simply because he looks like a nerd, acts like a nerd, and sounds like a nerd
His best friends are Nickelback and Guy Fieri
And that nerd was Mark Zuckerberg
Just a disclaimer not saying Zuckerberg is good. I actually don’t know what point I was trying to make.
@@notaulgoodman9732 Zuckerberg is good, and while a lot of harm has come from the creations he led the development of, they were bound to happen at some point, possibly by someone far less responsible and ethically considerate. The impacts of Meta have and will continue to benefit ordinary people in a lot of ways. For example, the data they collect and process is used by companies to improve productivity/efficiency, by better identifying and targeting consumer needs. Data is valuable for a reason. Companies use data to increase profits and deliver more value to consumers/clients.
Have you ever considered how/why it is that when you use a search engine, you’re able to quickly find what you’re looking for? Or how your GPS app is able to give you efficient routes?
Nearly every facet of modern society is impacted by the valuable information embedded in data, directly or indirectly, as is the case with technology. Analogously, you don’t have to drive a car in order to benefit from the existence of cars, since you are a beneficiary of the infrastructure that they enable.
It’s time we stop treating/viewing Zuckerberg less like the CEO of Nestle and more like Thomas Edison. If you’re going to live on the shoulders of giants, the least you can do is not shit down the giant’s chest.

ergo he's a nerd
The longest part of my feet is the middle...
The heck?! 😂
Yeah but your big toe is still farther from your heel than your pinky toe is from your heel. It’s okay to have space in front of your toes in your shoes, the problem is when the toebox is narrow it keeps your toes in a bad posture and can lead to bunions or hip/ankle problems. Wide toebox / foot-shaped shoes allow for better foot mobility and long term health.
Most ppl have that for some reason
Mine is the one next to the big toe😭
Ive been wearing the same crocs for almost a year and a half now and it’s pretty comfortable for my feet! my toes dont get squished but since im growing more im out growing them but aside from that crocs are pretty nice shoes

My biggest problem with crocs is walking on wet surfaces. They were originally supposed to be a water shoe but as soon as there's a wet surface I start sliding.
I broke my ass on a wet floor
I use crocs all the time in wet weather because they grip well. I use all terrains though.
@@Cheezus I didn't know they had them. They might not have been available then because I don't remember seeing them.

i have 4 pair of crocs for 4 different occasions.
1. the classic crocs, good for walking, exercising, and keeping your feet cool.
2. crocs sliders, perfect for in the summer, good to wear around the house and doing chores while going inside and outside, and can rock them with socks.
3. fleasy crocs, fantastic for the winter, keep your feet nice and toastie and can wear them indoors and outdoors.
4. Designer crocs, they look cool asf, can wear them going out for dinner, nobody can judge because they are LV and people never hate on designer stuff no matter how hideous it can be (but these are NOT), and they looks sexy as
As a guy who cleans pools for a living, and thus spends large portions of his day standing ankle deep in water, crocs are basically my equivalent to a work boot.
I am so confused. I have never stood ankle deep in water in my 15 years of servicing pools.
If you don't get at least a little wet cleaning a pool, then you're not doing a very good job ;^)
As a lifeguard. Crocs are also my work boot
@@chesterstevens8870so standing in water ankle deep is working harder now?? 🤔 im hiring the pro who doesnt get wet anymore from experience...
bro just likes wet feet
Crocs are the ugliest shoes but have some big positives at least wearing around the home:
1) They are comfortable to wear.
2) They're easy to put on and take off but they don't slip off.
3) They're cool in the summer but also surprisingly warm in the winter. The feet stay perfectly cool and fresh.
4) You can wash them and wipe them dry immediately so they're always clean.
5) They are silent when walking around if you need to be.
6) They last for years.
Name a shoe that looks better than crocs. I’ll wait
Sliders can do all what you mentioned and they are not ugly too
@@anwesh5595 I think crocs are more comfortable than sliders.

all you have to do is buy a wide toebox shoes I personally don’t like crocs just because the way they look they look weird, but I do like their design with the toes and stuff like that
Crocks:for standing

Modern shoes:for floating
Crocs are disability friendly! They don’t have difficult closures, they still have a way to stay on your feet, they stop you from stubbing your toes too bad, they’re flat, they’re waterproof… there are so many things to love about them!
Yeah people that wear crocs are definitely disabled in some way

having the right side of a croc being taller than the left is like a free ticket to tripping 24/7
I've tried crocs on before, and they are actually so comfortable, and the bumps inside them feel good on my feet too!
Crocs are a hikers best friend. They weigh nothing and you can clip them to your pack so when you're in camp at the end of the day you have something comfy to put on.
Crocs are a hiker's best friend until something heavy falls on his foot, then he gets regular hiking shoes like a normal person and leaves his crocs for normal days.
and waterproof!!!
@@saysikerightnow3914he was talking about camp shoe not walking shoe, how dense are you?
@@ggh_-ts6pnReading comprehension is difficult for some people.
@@saysikerightnow3914You must've missed the bit about wearing them at the end of the day in camp. Although crocs are a bit on the heavy side to be carrying around at about 16oz. Most minimalist footwear is lighter than that. Even Xero's boot options are all under 14oz, for comparison. My huarache sandals are only 6oz, and I would hike in them over anything else (my feet prefer freedom over safety 😂). No socks to get wet or sweaty, I can walk through water and they just dry out as I wear them, no smelly feet at the end of the day, and no tan lines 😂.
They actually were used in the movie "Idiocracy" because the production thought nobody would wear these dumb shoes irl. Then crocs popularity blew up and the rest is history.
Came here knowing someone would post this. I don't wear them, I'm sure they probably are comfortable, but I just can't see myself ever wearing them. That said, your statement is 100% true.
Came here to say this. Glad it was at the top so I didn't have to write it out.
I think this finally explains why i hate crocs.
Seeing that the movie is more of a documentary at this point, I'm not surprised 😂
My dad loves going over the movie any time I wear mine 😂😂 never fails to give a little chuckle when I wear them 😂
I don’t like the drain holes because if I walked on dirt, it usually got in my shoe
Took me years to try crocs. Now I love them. I have worn them to Disney Parks with no pain or discomfort at all.
A lot of hospital staff, here in Zambia, prefer to wear Crocs because they are comfortable to wear for very long hours. They are also much more quieter than regular shoes which helps staff walk around patients without disturbing them.
A lot of health care professionals I have care for me I’ve seen sporting them, especially in the hospital setting.
bro, I ain't seen a crocs that hasn't squeaked on a tile floor, but at least they're comfortable.
Crocs are the loudest shoes i own, unless they have carpet in zambia hospitals lol
@@D3nn1swe got them limited edition fur bottom hospital crocks with soccer cleat esk little rubber bumps for grip, which i guess would also squeak so forgot all that

I am from California living in Russia and people specially in hospitals, clinics etc wear Crocs or crocs like shoes to work
When the film Idiocracy was made, the director wanted to find a shoe for everyone to wear that looked both futuristic and completely ridiculous for anyone to choose to wear. They approached a small startup at the time called Crocs. The rest is history.
Wow, I was just thinking that
Crocs look like the shoes from Idiocracy.
Welcome to Costco, I love you😂
Mike judge the GOAT
Exactly the comment i came here looking for haha
People of culture right there
They might have some design features that I like (as pointed out) but they don’t have ANY support on your feet which if you do a lot of work with crocs on, can lead to back pain and eventually back injuries. I only wear them if I’m just stepping over a floor with glass or something. I never walk with them on for long periods of time.
I’ve noticed that wearing good boots 70% of the time is a good alternative. Sucks into summer, but a good alternative. Least my toes ain’t cramped and weird.
If anything, the only idiots are the people who genuinely care enough to bully others for something as mundane as a pair of shoes.
to bully others, yes, they are idiots (unless they’re your best friend lol). however, you can tell a lot about a person from their shoes… it’s proven.
Crocs are ugly and I hate them. I don’t care.

How do shoes effect your back
@@lucaspatrick8 from google:
If you choose shoes that don't offer adequate support or place too much pressure on one part of your foot, the vertebrae in your spine may soon become misaligned. Misalignments, called "subluxations" by chiropractors, cause back and neck pain, muscle tension, spasms, stiffness, and reduced range of motion.
@@lucaspatrick8posture
Years ago i had a serious surgery in my spine. Ever since they are always with me!!!Thanks Crocs!!!
Most heelys are also shaped like that + they’re fun so you’ll want to move more. You can still walk normally in them (though less so with the ones with multiple wheels), but if you want it to be easier or you have to walk in gravel or something wet for longer periods of time (gravel can get stuck in the wheels and water can make them rust earlier) you can just buy the ones where you can take the wheels out. Heelys are the best shoes fr
As someone with chronic pain who used to hate crocs, they are the most comfortable shoes I’ve worn in years to walk in.
As a kid I was like “what are those” but now “damn I can’t go out without this bad bois” I have chronic joint pain/swelling so walking with crocs is comfy
They feel so good and the bumps inside are massaging
I don't like exposing my feet either.
Bunions and ingrown nails . .🤔☝️✌️🙏💪
OK, they might be practical but they look mad ugly tho. I mean it looks crazy to use them outside in the city or in the office. I guess it's fine to wear them at home.
I (and my little toes) absolutely love my bistro work crocs. So light plus much space but not loose.
Do they make your feet sweat more? I got a pair similar to the bistro and ended up with athletes foot for the first time in my life 🤦♂️
@@anthonyfletcher8053 They did not make my feet sweat more than other work shoes i had. However the lack of fabric prevents the sweat from being absorbed so after my shift there's always a tiny puddle in the front of the shoe where my toes don't reach.
You know what's funny, is I never had foot problems before I started wearing bistro Crocs to work. Now I have plantar fasciitis.
They're swampy after a few hours
@@hoist8111Well crocs aren't actually good for your feet. They are easy to put on so the ease of convenience matters more to most than long term health 😂
I wear steel toe boots all day the day I purchased my crocs with a little fur in the inside was a game changer the sense of relief I feel when I slip those on after my shift is amazing people make fun of me for wearing them but I like being comfortable
I've owned more than a few crocs in my life and I've been the most comfortable in them. Unfortunately maybe it's just my walking style but I run through them way too quickly. The soles wear out really easily, they barely last me half a year. At my budget I had to adjust to buy slightly less comfortable shoes that lasted me longer.
Have you tried the off brands at Walmart, or literally any other store? I have a few pair of Crocs, but bought a couple of pairs of fleece lined Rugged Shark from Walmart for quick fall/winter trips to the mailbox, and to take the dog out, and they feel about the same. I don’t wear them enough to say how long they will last with regular use, but they might be worth a try. Also check out Ross, Marshals, Burlington Coat Factory, or Gabe’s if there’s any near you. They get them in, and they are half what the Croc store charges, so that could same you a few bucks. There’s a shoe brand ( Fila maybe) that makes exact copies also for a quarter of the price.
Thought he was paid by crocks but he’s paid by the other shoes 💀

He’s not wrong though. Most shoes squish your toes together. Our toes aren’t supposed to be as close together as they are.
Still doesn’t change the fact that normal shoes are bad for your feet
@@danyfry39946nobody said it did?😂
@@ANewHandTouchesTheBeacon there are alot of people especially in the comments that are promoting shoes that prioritize fashion over function which is fine as long as they are honest about it, but of course people are misinformed or lie out of hate or greed.
It’s too late for me, my feet are already shoe-shaped
Get some toe spacers
Start walking around barefoot at home and the park or outside your home if able
The body always adapts
Is never too late
Still get yourself some good barefoot shoes. Your shoes will return to their natural position in time, that's the position they want to be in, and it will cure a lot of pain.
calling it "shoe-shaped" just shows how deep we've bought into that mess.
check out the barefoot movement (or movement movement), it can you gradually get you out of this mess (before it gets even worse).
Funniest thing is that the symmetrical one is Sometimes more comfortable for me cuz my middle toe is longer than my big toe
Buying wide fit solves this problem for me cause then my toes have room to move, not to mention I can stub my toe while wearing shoes and it not really hurt. I still recommend crocs for stuff like summertime or when you need a quick convenient shoe/slipper type deal as they’re decently comfy and do what they’re intended for.
I agree. I always had foot problems as a kid due to shoes but wearing crocs for years has improved my overall standing posture.

Socks with crocs or slides 👌 make my pants tight

I'll raise you one. Fleece lined Crocs, no socks. They're 👌
I have a bunion on both of my feet from shoes, and I have never worn crocs until recently, and it has saved my life and stopped pain in my feet.
This explains SO MUCH! Regular shoes are so uncomfortable even when I get a half size larger
Getting shoes with a wide toebox CHANGED MY FLIPPIN LIFE. I actually started liking exercise because it was way easier because I could actually balance for once

Reminds me of my psychology professor in college. She always had Vibram 5 finger shoes and I asked her about it one day. She said she used to have back pain but not since she wore the shoes. Point is, shoes are supposed to be made for feet, not eyes.
Barefoot shoes helped me with back pain and knee discomfort I’d had since middle school. Now I forget that I used to even have back pain. All the while my feet, back and hips feel better than ever, my calves are stronger, and I’m waaaay less likely to get shin splints.
I got barefoot shoes when I was 18, 3 years later I can’t go back lol. “Normal” shoes cause me physical discomfort and sometimes pain in less than an hour.
That last line is the killer. Footwear is supposed to help you walk and stand and run, not look good.
But they can be stylish and functional. Shoemakers need to catch up. I've heard Crocs aren't supportive and shouldn't be worn for long periods of time. So he misses that in his video. But the part about the toe bed is correct.
@@dudesayingthings I mean, you could have both nowadays with all the options. I myself like the look of Lems and Wildling shoes.

Whatever it is..I'm a Crocs fan..and it's the most convenient and comfortable designs and shoes I have ever come across..no doubt they are quite rugged and a longer life than other shoes..They are also good for walking (fast)..I don't walk slow..they are especially good in rains and on wet surfaces..
as someone who has a certain disability that also makes parts like my feet really uncomfortable when wearing tight stuff, i love wearing crocs as i can happily not wear socks without my feet smelling of shit or getting pimples
Crocs are an absolute must for me in the summertime. On the boat, on the kayak, yard work, and just about everything in between.
100%. When fishing from a kayak, these are absolutely necessary.
I dont like crocs in summertime as my foot sweats and crocs become slippery from inside but for winter its comfortable

You should thank the movie Idiocracy because the film directors told them selves we need a shoe that’s so stupid no person would actually wear these and I found this little company making crocs so then everybody in the movie would wear crocs, making them very popular
@@MaxwellVrooman you're a fine idiocracy example just repeating what DOZENS of others have already said. Bruh try and act smarter

Crocs are comfortable if you don't have special foot needs, but my feet are too flexible in a bad way and wearing crocks makes my feet hurt because I don't get support where I need it. Unfortunately the shoes that make my feet feel best is an uglier looking shoe with an infinitely shittier name. The name Crocs at least sounds really cool and they have a fun aesthetic.
I cannot stress this enough. I'm not "too picky" with shoes. I just need shoes that are actually made for feet.
I just want my shoes to last at least a year of basic wear lmao 😭
Well... Your feet weren't designed for shoes, so there's that.
Ugh, same. I hardly ever wear shoes because it just feels like cramming my feet. Doesn't help that I have rather big feet (it's a size 36-38 in Brazilian sizes. I think that's 38-40 is European size and 7-8 in USA??? At least if the guide on the bottom of my shoes is to be believed) and they are not only naturally wide (thanks grandma's genes) but since I don't wear closed shoes often, they're not crammed in that odd shape people get from wearing shoes too often.
Finding shoes that fit comfortably and are affordable is one hell of a nightmare. Unless it's a formal setting, I'm happy with my flip flops, thanks.
@@gabrielabatista6016 if you need a summer shoe, why not just buy moccasins?
they will stretch, also comes with the benefits of not getting pebbles inside, being able to run if needed and not making a stupid flipping noise. flip-flops are beach/indoors shoes, period.
People don't all have the same feet. My big toe isn't the biggest toe it's the second one.
They are good for comfort 👍
Some comfortable shoes that I could recommend are ASICS Gel Excite 10. With the wide toe box, Gel foam, and Orhtolite insoles, they’re literally perfect as an everyday shoe and a running shoe.
I'm 25 and have plantar fascitis in both of my feet. It got so bad I could barely walk. I went to a podiatrist who initially said I should buy a pair of Brooks. When I told him that those were out of budget for me and I desperately needed relief, he said "As ugly as they are, Crocs have great support, and can provide you some relief while you save up for Brooks." The first day I put them on, I was significantly better. Now I alternate with my Crocs and my Brooks.
Ive never heard of Brooks but I also have plantar fascitis, and Crocs are a godsend so maybe I should try Brooks.
@@doge_time420vrbrooks are awesome, I used to own a pair and they were some of the most supportive and comfy shoes I’ve worn
great
Fr fr I've had people tell me crocs are so bad for your back and have no support but they're the only thing i can wear
I know Birkenstocks are pricey but I invested in a pair for my plantars and it has wiped out the pain.
Foot shapes are different. Some people have their SECOND toe longer than the "big" toe. For those of us with short big toes, "standard" shoes with rounded, elongated or pointy toe box are actually comfier and easier to size, whereas the "anatomical" shoes with a toe box shaped for a longer big toe (asymmetric) - either make our longest second toe curl under, or feel stupidly oversized even 0.5 size up. So... it isn't about the "design flaws" - it is about finding the toe box SHAPE that is fits YOUR foot shape best :)
💯 My big toe and the next 3 toes are all the same height, then my pinky toes suddenly drop off about a full inch shorter. They don’t progressively get shorter like normal 😂
Yup, Greek-foot-person here as well: Nobody makes shoes for our foottype.
@@courtneyr6645 You must be a great ballet-dancer!
Conventional shoes are still way too narrow for your toes. And by the way, minimalist shoes come in different shapes as well, you can very much get foot shaped shoes that are right for you, even if you don't have dominant big toes. On top of that, they have many other advantages.
TIL feet are different shapes, I have the first three toes the same size, and then they slide back.
I bought a pair of used crocs at Platos for $10 about 7or8 years ago . The only time I don't wear them is when I'm working bc I have to have boots.. but Not only are they super comfortable they've lasted 7or8 years and still going.
Instead of house slippers, I have house crocs. They help with pain in my back and flat feet. I am in my third trimester of pregnancy and it’s been great. They are easy to wash in the laundry, I love them!
crocs really helped me going around when I injured my feet! it’s easy to wear and to take it off, it’s easy to clean, and ok it’s ugly but not everything has to be pretty, sometimes you only need something that is functional
thing is they could be rendered "good" , like if they looked like actual Shoes. in the first place
naw, crocs are making a come back! wear them with PRIDE!
Crocs are trendy now. You used to be made fun of for wearing crocs but now if you dont have a pair you’re weird
Paint them with gold and throw magic sprinkle on top.
Bro crocs are beautiful
I have never, ever in my life heard someone call Crocs "idiot shoes".
Ugly AF though
Even a decade ago, I have known people who say things like "you look stupid if you wear Crocs", and to this day some people hate on Crocs to the point where they won't be friends with people who wear them. People are a LOT more accepting of them today, but there are still a lot of Croc haters.
@@834kolping Agreed, my slipper Crocs literally save my feet weekly lmao
to your face, probably not
I wear crocs at the airport idgaf
I love my purple, glittery bedazzled Crocs!!! My friends laugh at me but I don’t care. They’re the most comfortable shoes ever!💜
Man I love my crocs 😭
Crocs is like the only brand that has rain boots that are wide enough for me to wear and the soles are thick enough to wear to work. The slight heel to toe hight difference and cushion also helps my chronic ankle pain in my right ankle.
I also love barefoot shoes though!
You gotta watch out on those rainy days. They get slick 😭
Snow is the worst 😂 I wish they made plugs for the front and side holes.
Yeah there really slippery yet people someone live and die for some $2 rubber shoes that yall believe cures cancer 🙄
Nah, Whenever water gets in my Crocs it feels like I'm littlerly becoming Jesus himself and I'm walking on water
I got nonslip work ones. They're waterproof and i work outside in Oregon. I don't care what people think about my dumb shoes but it's crazy how much they care, like anyone who cares that much is crazy
@@lrgpapi no one thinks that. you are delusional.
I wore croc bistros to work when I worked as a kitchen hand .. honestly slip resistant and I could come home at the end of my shift and chuck them in the shower and scrub them. You can’t do that with any other shoe .. they are super safe and hygienic in the kitchen environment. Would recommend them to anyone in hospitality that’s aloud to wear clogs.
Yup, i know someone who worked in a kitchen and swore by crocs. At first i was confused until i realized he wore ones without holes in the top 😂
They don't have the support for a normal shift for many people. Spend the quality money on a good pair of shoes, your future self will appreciate you more than you know
“Allowed”
We were required to wear hole free crocs in culinary school. Super comfy 😂
@@texaskeeton1772the old basic crocs maybe don't, but if you look into what croc actually has to offer nowadays, you'll notice there's tons of different ones, including ones that better support your feet and will allow you to properly work in them. Heck they even have running shoes! I have them cause I wanted some nice shoes for the summer that I could wear without socks. They're great and totally worth the money
Edit: I just looked it up, there are even ones specifically made for working
They were a startup when they appeared in the movie Idiocracy. They blew up after.
My big toe isn’t my longest toe. I have a Morton’s toe
This is why my regular shoes are always one size larger.
Been doing this and it feels so much better
I usually go down to .5 a size. I’m an 11.5 so I get 12’s
Exactly "wide toe" shoes are a sham my feet have never been compressed
I started doing half a size larger and wide options because of my feet issues and it was a lifesaver.
This is why i research shoes before buying. As a skater ive subjected my feet to a whole host of issues.
They make great shower shoes when your at camp or on a boat, but I like to remember them from Idiocracy 😅
i used to be a croc man, until i wore tivas. them things are unreal, trust. beyond showers and boats
@baddiesluvme no because that's so true. While I love my Tivas, my Chacos are the love of my life, lol
Made for running from the cops on meth in the swamps of Florida while chugging a fourloko 10/10
@@jaspervalentino6042I'd say that's oddly specific, but you mentioned Florida, so now it makes sense.
I just showered, and my air, Jordans in the shower
I had a ingrown toenail removed yesterday cause of those kinds of shoes that are symmetrical
i wore crocs when i was 8 and they constantly gave my feet blisters and i havent worn them since
As someone who works long hours in the hospitals, crocs are lifesavers. Feet swell when you stand for long periods and hurt if you are wearing closed shoes. Crocs are loose and easy to take off hence very comfortable.
I remember when I got my first pair back when I was little, my dentist asked me where I got them because she'd never seen them, and loved the fun colours they came in! I'd say about half of the dentists I've seen wear them. Soft but not too squishy, enough room for standing a lot, and super easy to clean. That was the best part as a kid, instead of having to throw my shoes in the washing machine, or try and scrub them by hand, you just stick them under a hose and they're clean.
Before Crocs was a "Thing", years ago I had a pair in every color and wore them once I arrived at Work at a Healthcare Facility. Crocs were the most comfortable option for briefly walking around and sitting for extensive periods of time. Crocs were only $5, hanging on racks at the time. Now they sell for $50+☹️
My girlfriend has always loved then and wore them for years she also works in the medical field. They're very practical, decent shoe in my opinion.
@@Calico-fw6li Absolutely! They're also made to fit the true shape of the Foot, with Toes in mind.
Kinda like New Balance. Used to be my top choice of runners because they have a lot of running shoes that have enough room for wide footers like me. I could also afford to get a new pair every few months since they’re very affordable specially on clearance. Now all the hype thanks to the “influencers” drove the prices up yet even those who used to laugh at me for using “dad shoes” think they’re so chic they now have at least a pair or two.
i just read your whole life story hope your happy
@@heubertkhanmichael5239 NB's always been clean asf. People just follow trends and mindlessly follow others & find themselves wearing them and don't even know why they are.
i wear my pair of crocs almost all the time. At school, yes playing soccer, yes playing football, yes these are probably one of my favorite shoes
Crocs are great for most ppl since they’re breathable and offer usually good toe room. my pinkie toe is only like 1/2 inch shorter than my big toe so I can’t really wear crocs (or any regular shoes 🤧) but I support
Me wearing Sandals: I am four parallel universes ahead of you
Me not wearing shoes whenever possible 😂
Even sandels can have the problem of not having enough bedding. My big toe can touch the ground in some sandels
@@kashperantoyea i do started making my own barefoot shoes from old leather couches papoutsi style. Saves time cleaning feet lol
@@Piinkypanter OMG, how did I not know about papoutsis!? Thank you!
Do you know if there is a free pattern available? I'm wondering if I can make some out of washable paper...
@@Piinkypanter I have almost the opposite problem, lol. I have gone through a few pairs of Xero sandals, and they usually have a bit too much toe box and are slightly too wide in the side connection points. The thong hole is also just slightly not right on the non-DIY models.
This year I finally decided to try out their original DIY kit where you cut out your own custom shape from Vibram boot sole material and they are the best sandals I've ever worn. I slowly trimmed them down to be just the right size, and they only weigh about 88g each.
I must have been their last customer for those kits, though. I was browsing their site yesterday and noticed that the only DIY option is their partially-done "feel-true" soles where you only have to trim the front down and punch the thong hole.
I remember walking with my friends in Manhattan for like 10 hours in vans, my feet were absolutely killing me. The second I slipped my crocs on, most of the pain when I'd stand or walk was gone. They're a miracle of shoe design.
Wearing Van's for 30 years have ruined my feet.
@@user-sw4qd2up2sAs a prolific wearer of Van’s, I’m just getting started at the age of 14 lol.
Ya wearing skating shoes all the time turned outto be a hortible idea. I still wear DCs to this day now the arch things are way to foreign they fukin hurt
This is a sign for me to stop wearing them so often 😂
But tbf Vans are comfortable for me when they’re used to all hell.
@@H.E.M. I have a pair of knu skools, and they're some of the most comfortable shoes I've worn. That being said, they're not designed for more than a few hours of walking
Best garden shoes I've ever had. The only times i won't wear them is when the job requires boots or leaving the house.
Recently at picnic someone had commented on this guys sandals he mentioned he got them in Italy and went into great detail of the designers choice of leather and attention to the stitching that was done by artisans in Tuscany & I looked down at my mold injected Crocs from China with smug satisfaction.
My one gripe is they shrink if you leave them in a hot for too long.
I folded and bought Crocs and I LOVE them. They're also in excellent condition for being over 6 years old.
Idk maybe I should but what about walking? I have a tone of foot problems and slides have been my go to but can wear in winter
@@mysmirandam.6618 I have tons of issues and crocs are the best and very easy to walk with.
Just be careful, the treads are worn so you have less traction. They also are horrible overall for your feet. Comfort does not mean good for you.
@@texaskeeton1772yes it does.
@@mysmirandam.6618you might want to look at nonslip ones though. I've actually fallen wearing regular Crocs, the ground was algae and slick. I have nonslip ones and they even stick on algae. And I put yaktrax on them once lol. That might not work on every style of nonslip croc though
Crocs + soft socks = most comfortable shoe experience there is
I actually used to have a pair that were floofy on the inside, kinda like a soft sock. 10/10 would recommend
I was diagnosed with Rheumatoid Arthritis and plantar fasciitis is just something I have to deal with off and on. Therefore I tend to live in crocs now. Unfortunately, most of the barefoot, running shoes or barefoot shoes have little to no cushion and that tends to be quite painful for somebody with rheumatoid or plantar fasciitis. So, Crocs are the next best thing.
crocs saved my feet so much suffering during hot summer days. i hate my work shoes because theyre symmetrical and it makes my feet hurt
Actually I did develop bunions due to a foot bone deformity I have. So yes some people do just get them 😂
My grand-maman had the exact same thing!! Some people do just get bunions
Yeah my podiatrist said the same thing. Sometimes it genetic predisposition.
@@ishish8816did all of you miss the entire point of this video??
(got the foot deformity from shoes)
Bunions that arent footware related are usually as a result of a hip issue which can be hereditary.
My podiatrist recommended crocs for recovery after surgery. They have arch support and lots of room for swelling. I still had to wear two sizes but I saved the larger ones for when the other foot gets done.
My surgeon recommended oofos BUT crocs were cuter and cheaper. Now I wear them all the time and my foot surgery was 2 years ago
Arch support is like wearing a corset to keep your back upright. Sure, your back is technically straight, but you’re not exercising your natural ability to keep it straight. The arch in your foot is the result of a collection of muscles in your foot giving you suspension; by putting a bump under it, you’re preventing it from moving as it should, and preventing your muscles from working as they should. Like a corset, it might be necessary after a surgery, though.
@whengrapespop5728 that's great for you since you have no feet problems. You have made a lot of assuptions. I tried barefoot shoes and I still wear them in my yard abd a few other situations. If I wear them to do yard work I get foot cramps, neuroma pain, and charlie horses. Mowing is too much pushing on the ball of my foot. No amount of training my feet (decades of yoga, indoor climbing, barefoot hiking in maritime forrest, SUP, barefoot for weight training when at the climbing gym wgere uts ok other gyms prefer people wear shoes for safety) has changed that. I only wear traditional shoes for work in kitchens or concrete floors and mountous hiking since I don't have enough calouses to barefoot hike on rocky mountain trails. I wear minimal shoes on office days. The arch supports are nessisary when I get foit cramps or charlie horse. It means the muscles need a break. Even my garmin can tell by my hrv. It always says I'm poorly ready for training (which I ignore or there will never be training). My feet are training all the time.
@whengrapespop5728 I seriously hate Crocs, but they have purpose post surgery. The other foot will need to be done at some point, and Im hoping to tine it before I get neuroma in that foot. Right now, it its midfoot instability and bunion.
@@whengrapespop5728 My arches collapsed before I got arch support. I don't believe you.
that explains why my toes are like puzzle peices basically
