if he want to put jibbitz on them then leave.

foxinsocks · 21/04/2007 15:20

they've got to be better than smelly deck shoes I reckon - imagine, men's summer shoes that you can wash. Genius!!

(my parents have crocs so that's put me off them for life )

men... crocs...

Walnutshell · 21/04/2007 15:32

Aren't they sort of 'surfy dude' shoes? Or have I got all mixed up again?

pesme · 21/04/2007 15:33

good god he will be wearing cropped trews next.

Walnutshell · 21/04/2007 15:34

Cropped trews, no. But long shorts, yum!

kittypants · 21/04/2007 15:36

id leave

foxinsocks · 21/04/2007 15:37

I didn't mean specifically you - as in, shoes that can be washed. Seems brilliant planning that they can be dishwashed. I'd be persuading dh to get some if I/he didn't think they looked so naff.

(at least he doesn't want the same colour as you!)

Men in crocs?

sarz · 21/04/2007 23:12

[HIdes in corner with ALOT of armour whilst whispering] I love Crocs, i wear mine with pride! i love them on men, women and children!! In my defence though, i brought mine whilst living and working in Miami, where i was woring in and out of water and so needed them. Then i come back to England and a coupke of months later they hit the shops here (at double the price) so i was able to dig them out again! And they are pink [must reinforce armour!]

TheDuchessOfNorksBride · 21/04/2007 23:17

Run, lucyellensmum, run.

GeeGee2 · 21/04/2007 23:22

in a whisper-I like Crocs to (oh the shame of it!)

HEIFER · 21/04/2007 23:29

hope you have packed your bags bags and gone already

or better still, pack his bag and burn your crocs....

empie · 22/04/2007 17:47

I've got some, a pink pair....but I don't wear them out of the house. My parents have got a pair each and they actually go OUT in them how embarrassing!

joash · 22/04/2007 18:00

god yes - leave him immediately!!!!
