Bear in mind I am recovering from a broken foot and my Crocs are so comfortable, would it be totally WRONG to wear these to work?

[PoorOldEnid]

how unacceptable on a scale of 1 to 10 - 1 = laughably horrific, 10 = a neat and stylish way to accommodate permanently aching foot?

I wear Rocket Dog

Poor you.

Pesonally, I think 'real' Crocs look better than Crocs-pretending-to-be-ballet-flats, and you could wear them wih trousers.

Kickers are often found to be helpful fo children with orthopaedic issues, and DP wears Birkenstocks to support his arches, and puts Birkenstock insoles in other shoes.

Can you ask your consultant to refer you to orthotics, who can make a proper custom-made insole to put in regular shoes?

oh dear you poor thing, lots of sympathy

but I do think the surgical grey ballet pumps are fairly minging (a 2 on your scale). other colours might possilby be better?

if it's the only thing that you can wear though, that's the most important thing.

broken feet seem to be the thing on mnet
kerry, then ghosty, now you

"Can you ask your consultant to refer you to orthotics, who can make a proper custom-made insole to put in regular shoes? "

of course. Thats what I should have done. Thanks Blu I am swiping my forehead for not thinking of that myself. I am seeing him at the end of the month so will wear the ballet crocs in the meantime

are rocket dogs those horrid fabric ones that show toe cleavage

I hate them but dd1 likes them

RD do all sorts

I have trainers and the ballet style ones and was umming over boots but then thought, no, I will be in flip flops so don't need boots

I did link a pair with sequins to great derision on here iirc

I actually think the ones in the link are nicer than proper uggs. And reasonable price too. Not sure about the crocs with tights. Could you go tightless or wear trousers? I am still tightless ATM.

What about some Doc Martens? Would they give you enough support whilst offering decent street cred?

the thing about crocs is that they have a moulded insole - eg it is shaped, like a birkenstock, with a metatarsal support. this makes them really comfy to wear as they support underneath the main break. AFAIK rocket dogs, uggs or doc martens dont have this, even though they LOOK comfortable!

I think blus suggestion of proper orthotics is an excellent one

am deffo wearing crocs

even with opaque tights

and keeping black patent ballet flats under desk in case of random visitors
