    I really want to try crocs to see if they’re as comfortable as I’ve been told they are. But they’re so fuckin hideous

      I stopped giving a fuck and wear brightly colored Crocs as a fat hairy guy. I’ve never been more comfortable after a long day at work than after I started wearing Crocs daily

        this is a man of the people. They’re garish but I can slip em on without bending over so that’s all that matters.

      Ditto.

      Crocs are a fashion crime.

      I guess they’re pretty good foot fetishist deterrents though? If I was so inclined, I would rather get a footjob from a cassowary.

        Watch out for that claw that’s hidden? I can’t quite remember, but what they use to kill things.

            Nah. It was a cassowary, but they do not have the claw I was thinking (like platypus’). I guess they just jump kick with their toe claws.

      That’s the point. They aren’t just a comfortable shoe. They are a statement. A statement, that You value Your own comfort above what other people think.

      Comfort isn’t the main selling point. In no particular order:

      • Versatile: indoor, outdoor, dry, wet,…
      • Easy to clean
      • Easy to take on or off
      • Inexpensive (when on sale)
      • Relatively durable/reliable
      • Protects toes (unlike sandals)
      • Many colors, styles, and patterns

      I also used to hate how they looked, and I thought other people were just falling for the fad. But I bought some after literally being indoctrinated by my other coworkers at a summer camp, and never looked back. They are just such useful shoes that it really changes how you perceive them once they’ve worked for you.

      P.S. Just in case you were wondering, there are still people at summer camp that continue to hate crocs, but they’re aware they’re in the minority :p
