This is the feel good story of the day. Crocks are repugnant and disgusting. I refuse to even talk to people wearing them.

@Frank Cannon

I always take mine off before having a conversation with you Frank as I'm acutely aware of your delicate sensibilities.

I have a pair that I have worn almost every day for the last 10 years at least and I'm still wearing them.  Just ordered a new pair today from Amazon just in case.

Oy vay.  Please tell me you don't go out in public with that ratty fadtastic footwear?

As a general rule no.  But a quick trip to Home Depot or the liquor store could be exceptions.

You think that's bad... I am a Dutchman, and when planting or working in dirt, you will very likely find me in klompen.

Hey @Frank Cannon



That is the reason I won't try them.  I like the manure to stay on the outside of my footwear.

I wouldn't ranch with them either. 

OTOH, for just around the house or ultra-casual, they are the most comfortable footwear I have.

Or ever have had in my case.

In the house, my shoes stay at the door.

I hear ya.  Back in the days when carpets were the norm, I did too.  Crocs are preferable to hardwood floors.. (IMO)

I understand that.

We have both downstairs, but carpet in the bedroom where my recliner resides and in my office.

I have been strong with the family post flood repairs that no outside shoes are worn in the house.  So most of us are usually socks only inside.

Fashion?  They are butt ugly but damn comfortable.  Hope someone buys them out.

Real men don't wear Crocs (or beads or Roman sandals).  And tough guys don't dance.

Speaking of Crocs, real men don't even wear alligator shoes, IMHO.

I don't claim to be a bad ass or anything, but I've yet to have one person in public question my manhood because of my footwear.   :cool:

When you get to be my age you are long past caring what anyone thinks about your footwear.
