Are Crocs ok on grownups? Straw poll.

[CocodeBear]

They're in my shopping basket in pale blue. I want the little badges to put all over them.

Arrested development? Or practical holiday attire?

Well I have two pairs. One black and one bright pink. THey're not proper crocs - they are the cheapo Shoe Zone ones, and they are fab: non-sweaty and very comfortable. I am 43 and can therefore wear what I like (and always have done - there is a degree of daily amusement to be had out of upsetting people with one's assertive unfashionableness).

Completely agree Kewcucumber.

Must start a thread on my need for practical summer footwear.

I have a pair of these
v cautiously treads away before stones throw

no Cod - becasue they don;t do my size. When you can't walk more than 500 yds without pain in your feet, you will agree with me and worship at the altar of Comfiness.

Comfy and practical, and have improved the quality of my life

god no

I have no opinion.

But DS#1 tells me they're crap and seriously uncool. Does that help?

He calls them 'those stupid plastic shoes'.

Great for kids, but adults - no

My MIL has some, that completly puts me off

When I say children, mine are 1 and 3, so do not understand cool

Get them. They are great for hols.

they're not even ok on children IMHO

My feet love them.I don't care what they look like because my feet love them so much. In fact, my feet are going to marry them and have their babies.

No, no, no.

Pretty flipflops for poolside.
Sandals/wedges for town.
Barefoot otherwise.
If active beach holiday, with lots of rock-pool climbing, running around playing frisbee on sharp shingle etc. and you need to wear something to avoid cut feet, then get some reef shoes. They're ugly, but they're sportswear so thereby acceptable when engaged in sportiness (but not otherwise.)

Please don't wear crocs. Not in public. It's upsetting to look at.

They remind me of those cap things you have on your head for highlights, you know, where they pull bits of hair through.

...actually, i suppose anyone with particularly hairy feet could do that.

Even DH wants some .

got my dds some fake ones for £2 a pair.

I got DD1 fake ones from Sainsbos last year, but they looked cheap and nasty compared with the real ones.

I don't think children are allowed out the door in the morning without crocs on round these parts.

There is a chi-chi shoe shop down the road, but it is full of kids trying on Crocs rather than ladies buying Gina.
