Why is everyone wearing crocs all of a sudden?

[–] Beardsley@lemmy.world 36 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Mainly so I don't have to put real shoes on to take out the trash tbh.

Strap between toes is the worst feeling ever. No thanks.

Why do you care what people wear on their feet? lol

[–] datavoid@lemmy.ml 13 points 4 months ago

WHAT ARE THOSE?!?

Slides are literally Crocs, not even metaphorically.

Crocs also last significantly longer than any basic slides I've ever purchased. Including cheapo Amazon's, Walmarts, Adidas, and Nikes.

Crocs makes slides. They're insanely comfortable.

Completely covering the entire top of your foot is even worse. So itchy and sweaty. I'll take the strap between the toes any day. Only time I'll wear anything other than flip flops is because I have to for work or a formal event.

[–] Beardsley@lemmy.world 12 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

Well I already have the crocs, you see..

I always get a laugh out of why they chose Crocs. For anyone uninformed, see Mike judge quote below:

The wardrobe had to be something that's not around now. It had to be created for a lot of extras, and so you know our wardrobe person was looking for ways to make the budget work. And Crocs were not out in the world yet. They were just a small startup at the time. We shot in 2004, so no one was wearing Crocs. And she showed me these things, and I thought, 'Oh those are great, just stupid plastic shoes. And I said to her, 'But you actually bought these, you can order these. What if by the time the movie comes out, these things are everywhere, and it doesn't look like we're set in the future?' And she said, 'Oh no, that's never going to happen. And sure enough, by the time it comes out two years later, everyone is wearing Crocs. So it already started coming true even faster than we made the movie, really.

Because they are very comfortable

[–] DarkSpectrum@lemmy.world 4 points 4 months ago

This (from a convert)

[–] Lucidlethargy@sh.itjust.works 9 points 4 months ago (2 children)

I don't know, but they are the ugliest shoes in existence.

[–] conciselyverbose@sh.itjust.works 9 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago) (2 children)

Judge away. Five fingers are comfortable as shit.

~~Those look like women's ones on a man's foot though.~~

[–] turbowafflz@lemmy.world 20 points 4 months ago (2 children)

I am so confused how you are able to tell the gender of the shoes and person from that photo because I can't see anything stereotypically associated with gebnder

[–] Zwiebel@feddit.org 13 points 4 months ago

The back right tile is obv closeted gay you can tell by the way it lays

[–] conciselyverbose@sh.itjust.works 5 points 4 months ago

Couldn't tell you. Just what it looks like to me.

I'll cross it out as a dumb assumption, though.

[–] zalgotext@sh.itjust.works 1 points 4 months ago

They look like they were made for a tree frog. Them thangs are BULBOUS

[–] Num10ck@lemmy.world 6 points 4 months ago

vibrams just need soft pink buttons on bottom for foot jobs

[–] BuboScandiacus@mander.xyz 4 points 4 months ago

They aren't that ugly

But damn they're uncomfortable

[–] deadbeef79000@lemmy.nz 8 points 4 months ago

They're actually great for wading at the beach.

Near where I live is a shallow (waist deep) bay with a rocky sandy bottom: barefoot not advised. There're great for walking out into the shallows and helping the kids in kayaks or whatever.

Or gardening.

[–] funkajunk@lemm.ee 4 points 4 months ago

Because comfy af
