Crocs (The shoe, not the animal) 🐊 (lemmy.world)

To those wearing crocs, what are they like? Are they soft and comfy as the media portrays them to be?

Are they suitable for summer and out about?

I wore sandals before (jesus shoes I call them), they're not bad but crocs seems to interest me.

Second question, why should I get some crocs? Pros/Cons?

Love crocs. Wear them all the time. I don’t really care if other people think they are ugly. They are comfortable, so I wear them.

Pros: easy to clean, can be good rain/pool/beach shoes because it’s fine to get them wet, come in a lot of different styles and colors, easy to slip on and off, not too expensive

Cons: most people think they are ugly, they can squeak when wet, they shrink of left in direct sunlight

I have other shoes as well, but wear Crocs quite often. I injured my foot a while back and my podiatrist suggested wearing shoes around the house for additional cushion while my foot healed. Funny enough, when I asked what kind of shoes, he suggested Crocs.

I have a generic pair that were basically my shoes for chores around the yard (the yard is marshy in places). I rarely wore them to the store or out in general, but found them really comfortable.

Well, I go and break my big toe a few weeks ago. I have a velcro splint on it, and bought one of those post surgery shoes. It was clunky and awful. The best thing about it was the boxy toe area which helped keep me from stubbing my toe again.

I tried for maybe 2 days to wear it, but then I remembered my crocs. And they have been the perfect toe protectors, plus not being awkward to walk in.

They seem to be great foot recovery shoes. I wore mine for like 6 months on and off in the house while my foot healed.
