Just that, really..

They've very unlike anything I've ever had before but I must say I absolutely love crocs 😍 they're so so comfy!!

I'm quite short so need sandals that are comfy but also give me some height.

What do we think of these???

I am not usually a crocs fan but I really like them

JamieJ93 · 06/05/2024 10:12

Oh god I live in crocs but I couldn't bring myself to wear these, they are awful but for comfort I could be persuaded for comfort 😏

KreedKafer · 06/05/2024 10:10

They’re very late 90s/Y2K and therefore bang on trend. They’ll also be very comfortable, I suspect. I quite like them, but I’m more of a platform Docs girl myself.

Mumsnet in general is full of terrible fashion advice from people who are miles behind the times and seem to get genuinely quite angry at anyone who doesn’t want to dress like Kate Middleton, though, so you’ll probably get lots of people clutching their pearls here.

Hideous!

FrogTheWarrior · 06/05/2024 09:13

Personally Crocs make me think doctors, chefs and Katie Price - but I think you should have what you like.

But then I can’t talk as I have these (which I do only wear in the back garden because they are as ugly as Birkenstocks!)

They are so comfy, just slip on and off and you wouldn't be able to tell they are crocs, I got them for under £40 from Amazon. Also have a look on the croc website, they have lots of different non ugly comfortable shoes

They look nice to me

I'm going to see if I can get some.
Summer dog walks with wet morning grass is always an issue. 🤣

changewashing · 06/05/2024 08:59

I wouldn't ask mumsnet for style advice OP, you only have to see what sandals people recommend on here

daisychain01 · 06/05/2024 08:58

Comfy yes
practical yes
stylish No

then again I'm not the right person to ask because I seem to be the only person who find Birkenstocks uncomfortable expensive and overrated

I like these.

They look like comfortable dog walking boots and boots to pull on to do day to day crap.

Crocs Brooklyn strappy wedges are brilliant sandals and you would not believe they were Crocs.
Undecided about the ones being discussed.

A 16 year old could wear these and look amazing. I would look fucking awful if I wore them with my leggings, carrying my tote bag 😁

Teenagers can pull anything off. That’s the beauty of youth.

These sandals though. I don’t think so.

They remind me of these from the 90s

Yes, exactly this is what I had in blue, not pink.

Haha my DD would love these. She has several pairs of Crocs in different colours and has a black pair with a similar high sole as these, but with the regular 'covered foot' style.

You always see a lot of medical staff wearing Crocs so they must be comfortable.

WillYouPutYourCoatOn · 06/05/2024 07:20

These were a thing in the nineties. I had a blue and white pair of plastic platform monstrosities like these. Geri and Mel B started it.

HardConnections · 06/05/2024 07:19

I am in my fifties and have a lifetime of beautiful shoes in my home. But I have stuck to my no Crocs, Birkenstocks or UGGs philosophy and have no regrets. Not even after this thread ;-)

MillshakePickle · 06/05/2024 07:14

I have the Croc flip flops and they are seriously ugly as fuck but omg I've never worn comfier flip flops. I'm usually one to shun Crocs. But knowing just how amazing they are, I'd say go for them. You won't regret it.

The problem is, can you wear them in public? I still haven't ventured out into the wider world with me. Deep rooted Croc shame is hard to shed.

3luckystars · 06/05/2024 07:13

AKA wellies.

Its like the Emperor’s New Clothes!!
