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???

Jeez, they're hideous. I'm at an age where I value comfort, but christ on a bike I couldn't wear those. Just no. Not even to put the bins out.

Pixiesgirl · 06/05/2024 02:05

They are fine tbh, not as ugly as beloved old lady birkenstocks.

Mnetcurious · 05/05/2024 23:58

🤮 sorry

I can't imagine caring what shoes another person wears, so I don't worry about others' opinions of my choice in footwear.

Crocs aren't beautiful, imo, but they do what I need them to do. If you like these shoes, that's all you need to know.

I’m the last person you’d want fashion advice from. And I generally hate crocs. But I like these. They’re kind of rock chick meets spice girls, I’m sold!

SanFranBear · 05/05/2024 23:45

I bloody LOVE Crocs flip-flops... wouldn't buy any other brand but - sorry, OP, those are hideous!

If you can wear a flip flop, I implore you to investigate those instead - nice soles, so comfortable and, well, not those!

For some reason they remind me of the 90s.

Get some big baggy combats, short cropped top, a shell suit jacket..

Crank up the Boyzone..

Nannyfannybanny · 05/05/2024 23:44

They are revolting.like the type of footwear worn by very elderly frail people with socks who have bad feet.

EmilyTjP · 05/05/2024 23:41

I actually really like them 😂

I have never owned a pair of crocs. am i missing out?

I had my first pair for Christmas this year after years of hating them and I now actually love them! I wear them for gardening and taking out the bin etc and they are perfect! I bought the fleece lining for them and just today took them out for the (potentially) warmer months. Have been in them all day today! You need to get yourself a pair, you won't look back!

I really don't like the way crocs look, but my god they really are comfortable. I wear mine nearly every day because they are just so easy to wear, no rubbing, no squeezing, no sore heels or aching balls of feet, just pure comfort.

3luckystars · 05/05/2024 22:59

I hope they are comfortable and make you happy, but they are 100% UGLY.

I'm a bit torn 🤣 I love crocs, always have but I'm really not keen on the low profile ones. I always need a chunky sole / wedge! So initially when I saw these I was drawn!!

I love crocs and always have a couple of pairs in the go.... But these are minging!

fishonabicycle · 05/05/2024 22:52

Love em! But I like crocs too and have had a lot of compliments for my multi coloured crocs!

Pigeonqueen · 05/05/2024 22:51

Well they’re very fashionable. If that appeals to you or you just like them, go for it.

Bluebluemonday · 05/05/2024 22:50

Go for it they look comfortable who care what anyone else thinks

RugbySchmugby · 05/05/2024 22:49

I was totally anti-Croc, but I now have two pairs of the Crush platform sandals (like the ones you have highlighted, but without the ankle strap).

I suffer with Plantar Fasciitis and honestly, these have been FANTASTIC. I can walk for miles now with no pain on the day, or the day after in fact. So supportive, they don't rub and they don't make your feet sweaty.

So I say do it! They may not be the trendiest shoe around, but they are damn comfy!

abracadabra1980 · 05/05/2024 22:48

Atrocious.

lol! I didn't really know what to expect from asking here, but I've definitely had a chuckle!

I don't know why but they really caught my eye!! I tried them on the other week and they are SO comfy. Fully recommend!

Has anyone called the fashion police?

TikehauLilly · 05/05/2024 22:27

I like crocs to walk to the shed bins in.... I also like to remind myself of the queer eye quote .... "Given up on life shoes"
