About to do it - Crocs

[DayIntarnishedarmour]

Ok they’re bloody hideous. And I’m in my 60s so way over the stage where they’re cute. But I have arthritis, no suitable sandals are comfortable. I have Teva classics which are great but only on a solid surface as gravel, sand gets inside and blisters my feet. I’m going to Cornwall. I need something comfortable and good for on the beach. I’m not happy about this choice but unless anyone can come up with a comfortable and less hideous option, I’m doomed.

I have pink ombre ones and black ones with white hearts on.
Although I don't actually care what anyone thinks my DC tell me they are very trendy now and I plan to get DD's BF some for his birthday next month

Dd had to buy a pair to work on camp America

I have bright pink Crocs and fur lined Croc dupes from M&S.
But I only ever wear them in the house or garden.

Love my pink pair as a busy mum of a 1 year old! They are heaven on the feet. Even got my DH into them and he loves his too 😂 we went on holiday with friends recently and all of us had crocs (in our late 20s and early 30s)

I always scorned them but in the end my arthritis drove me to it and now I can never go back. I don't wear them out of the house - yet - but that is probably only a matter of time.

I have white sparkly ones for everyday and blue rugged ones for farm work - they wash even better in the dishwasher!

Ugly as sin, mine are navy blue with a white sole with a red stripe

Has anyone tried Croc flipflops. I am tempted

I steal DHs khaki ones but they are too big for me so would like some of my own. They are sooo comfy and great for knocking about the house/garden in or putting the bins out. Admit I have not reached the going out in public point yet 😂

DC have the all terrain ones and I have bought them for a few years. Brilliant on holiday and they play out in them all summer.

Yes, very nice

I've a turquoise pair that were bought in 2007 and worn ever since.

Last year I bought bright pink croc flip-flops and love them, I'm 67

I have a fur lined pair, a fur lined sandal pair with a double strap and bright coral chunky sandal pair. I love them all, comfiest shoes ever.

I have two pairs of these: Literide crocs purchased from Amazon. They have a narrower profile than the regular crocs but still lots of room in the tie box and a good, comfortable footbed. I bought two pairs. One size 11W/9M so I can wear two or three pairs of warm socks in them on cold days and another pair in a smaller size for warmer days sockless/one pair of socks (my ankles are like iceboxes often..). They're so comfortable I often forget I'm wearing them. 🌹

Got my first pair Friday and they have barely left my left since.... Fully converted

59 yrs old and I was definitely in the “never ever amen” camp.
Passing by shop and blue pair with retro florals…I love them!
Wore them to work one day ( forgot change shoes before leaving house)…I am a GP and they went down very well with my patients and made me smile all day!

I suffer from plantar fasciitis and crocs are a godsend!
Also I’ve recently bought these and I’ve lived in them for 2 weeks whilst on holiday abroad and I’ve had no feet problems at all, so comfy

I thought they were the ugliest looking things... I was horrified when my niece bought me a pair for Christmas. Had to put them on to show willing. Wouldn't part with them now. They're sooo comfy! My feet love them.

What's the sizing like? Big/small?

I love love love mine and have covered my entire family. Currently loving my rainbow crocs with trolls and SpongeBob jibbitz. We all buy charms for each other and swap them, my nephew has spoilers and headlights on his !!

Oh yes they’re horrific, ugly things.

Mine are sage green 🤣

This 👆

I have lymphoedema due to treatment and cant get my left foot in anything. I gacsin and bought these https://www.schuh.co.uk/mens/crocs-mellow-luxe-recovery-slide-black-sandals/3312907060/ i shouldve done it weeks ago. Everyone complements them and my consultant said i look like I should be by the pool in Spain. So, im off to buy more in other colours 😃

I had a pale green pair for absolute years, but I only wear them in the garden. Last year I bought a pink pair for wearing in the house. They’re hideous but so, so comfy. I’ve got arthritic feet but they’re happy in my Crocs.

Noooooo, don’t do it op! DMs are comfy, I also have some awesome MBTs that are comfy. Crocs are ugly, evil works of the devil, lol.

Birkenstock no good? I find these are fine for arthritic toes and look vaguely smart if you buy the fancier sort
