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?

crocs - only suitable for surgeons who have a messy approach to their work or people on boats who say Mein Host and wear a blazer in the evening.

I don't like them on children either. And anything that can be accessorised by something that sounds like jizz is best avoided.

was ther not some furore last year about nurses wearing them in hospitals and transmitting rays or something?

Crocs not acceptable on adults (it's going to be all crocs chat on mn again this summer isn't it)

Riven you need converse!

converse are trainers, though.

they don't let your feet breathe the way Crocs do.

I got the kids fake crocs last week, and they are brilliant. Ds loves his and he normally couldn't give a toss about what is on his feet.

Personally though, i'd not wear them.

shall i add these to my order LOL?

practical and sylish

crocs - no
converse - yes

no. def not. esp with the badges. stop it. right now. cute on three yr olds but not on grown women or [shudder] men

flip flops or sexy sandals poss gladiator style. step away from the crocs

Maybe ok in camping municipal showers to avoid foot-rot, or if you're required in whatever circumstances to sluice with a hose, but in all other circumstances, noooooooooooooo.

"...but they looked cheap and nasty compared with the real ones."

Do the real ones look expensive and classy then?

the crocs are out in force in town this week...

i have just ordered mine, the heat finally got to me. will restrain myself to just one jizmo or whatever they called. a tasteful flower.

I hate them.
We have also had a couple of "incidents" over here, with children wearing crocs getting their feet trapped in escalators, because unlike normal shoes, soft crocs get pulled into the teeny gap between the treads of the escalators...eek! So BE WARNED!

Miss H - pmsl they all look cheap and nasty to me...

Much as I hate the ordinary ones on adults, I have these and love them, in slightly ironic way...

Crocs on kids = cute
Crocs on adults = not cute, foxy or chic

Ok if you don't want to be cute, foxy or chic (who can be bothered TBH). Plus most of the men I know HATE them, along with Uggs. They would rather we stuff our feet into pointy stilettos and suffer, IMO.

I love my Crocs.

Butchers, careworkers and pathologists. No-one else. Maybe kids

I didnt realise they were so wrong - i got some real black ones last year and loved them and was looking fwd to getting them out again and wearing them for work (i am not a surgeon or nurse) but do walk alot....

I recently acquired some fake Uggs that I think are lovely and DH hates with a vengeance.

So within a month I will have unwittingly acquired the two least sexy styles of shoe known to woman.
