According to my DD, 17. All her mates are ordering them for the summer. I’m struggling to get my head around this news.

They have been for at least a year. I was hoping the bloody ugly things would be on their way out again by now.

AmelieTaylor · 30/03/2021 18:20

They never went

Not in my feet!

Don't (can't) wear anything else - a bunion has caused my second toe to cross over my big toe so Croc replicas are a must. At €3,50 a pair I can have every colour! Grin

PaperMonster · 30/03/2021 18:27

They never went away!!

TheCountessofFitzdotterel · 30/03/2021 18:28

Excellent, I still have my 2 pairs from last time.

picklemewalnuts · 30/03/2021 18:29

They've always been amazing for anyone with difficult feet. I wear mine round the house, and accidentally wore them out today. I must be ahead of the trend!

They are the most practical of footwear, and are much better for healthy feet than most summer shoes/sandals!

ChiefBabySniffer · 30/03/2021 18:37

I've got several pairs of crocs. With several auto immune diseases and joint damage in my feet and knees crocs are a god send and sooooo comfy!

ThatsNotTheTeaHunty · 30/03/2021 18:51

A lot of Americans wear them. Especially teenage girls.

I have to wear enclosed crocs for work and they're the most comfiest shoe 😂.

Velouria · 30/03/2021 18:52

In pog form?

Beenaroundnow · 30/03/2021 18:55

No way! I wear mine all the time at home and camping but never in public.
Imagine the joy of being able to wear them on the school run!

Onamissionn · 30/03/2021 18:55

What has happened to fashion... unflattering baggy trousers and crocs

Igloo71 · 30/03/2021 19:48

She even wants the jibbitz charm things. It’s like she’s 7 again!! She loves retro/vintage but this is a retro step too far in my eyes. Though I know they’re lovely and comfy and deep down I’m envious Wink

Croc on a dog. Cute. Can’t say our dog would appreciate it though Confused

I love a Croc. I live in my Croc flip flops just now.

Lockdownbear · 30/03/2021 20:08

I love mine and wear them as slippers, except they seem to cause static buildup.

PaperMonster · 30/03/2021 20:12

I wear mine for work - they are like ballet pumps though, but more supportive. And I love my flip flop ones. I have a limited edition pair which I wear for going in the garden - not sure if people would actually realise any of these are actually Crocs though!!

TeachesOfPeaches · 30/03/2021 20:13

I've got leopard print crocs and I loves them Grin

ElspethFlashman · 30/03/2021 20:16

I've had several and they are amazing.

I mean hideous..... But amazing.

Be warned OP, there are platform Crocs on ASOS. They look like breezeblocks. Grin

justwaydamin · 30/03/2021 20:17

I have a VERY glamorous friend (married to an international pop star) who has been wearing them for the past year and I haven't stopped ribbing her about them. She's wearing like a beautiful Dior dress or Gucci jumpsuit with bloody crocs?!
I should've known she's "on trend" haha

Igloo71 · 30/03/2021 20:18

But... but... do you wear them in actual real life public? I love a bit of leopard print but in croc form would be strictly limited to my back garden. I may have to deny DD belongs to me if she dons the crocs on the streets.

Yep, my 20 year old mentioned it to me the other day. Said she needed a mint green pair.

Timeforabiscuit · 30/03/2021 20:20

Glam school mum wore them today, really retro peach colour - I admit I was taken by them!

Igloo71 · 30/03/2021 20:22

@ElspethFlashman she showed me the platforms!!! Even she was laughing at those

@justwaydamin my DD is very good at creating her own look but I was horrified! Your friend has got me doubting myself now, I guess I’m just a grumpy old fogey
