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 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.

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 actually really like them 😂

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.

TuesdayWhistler · 05/05/2024 23:44

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..

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!

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!

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.

Mnetcurious · 05/05/2024 23:58

🤮 sorry

Pixiesgirl · 06/05/2024 02:05

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

DramaAlpaca · 06/05/2024 02:22

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.

AKA wellies.

Its like the Emperor’s New Clothes!!

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.

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 ;-)

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.

2Old2Tango · 06/05/2024 07:22

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.

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 😁

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

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

These sandals though. I don’t think so.

FishPie2 · 06/05/2024 07:54

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