I really dislike crocs, my best friend once told me, imagine if you wear crocs running errands and you die crossing the street, you would die in croc's!!! She had a point, and to be honest, she's not wrong.
I LOLd reading this entire piece. My kids love Crocs but I’ve never been able to pull the trigger. I wear flip flops year round and I think that’s as close as I’ll ever get.
This is me. Like Kara, I am resisting as strongly as possible. …Crap. I just realized, I bought a pair of “house shoes” Crocs a couple of years ago. So, there goes that 🤪
My oldest has a hand me down pair of Crocs he wears on the daily and it’s painful. We just bought our middle kid beach shoes and thank all that is holy, he selected a slide on air sandal.
LMAO I went off the rails on the Croc train. They're so comfy and I'm at a point where I do not care about Fashion anymore. My feet need the support. I have a pair for the garden, one for around the house, and a "cute" pair of platforms.
I was like you. I was not the plastic bean-wearing type and thought these damn things were ridiculous. Until they weren't. When I was staying at my parents (co-caregiver of a parent with dementia--mother-- and my sister and I switch out every week to help my Dad out), I found myself standing a lot. I would walk around their house in just socks and my ankles and the top of my feet would always swell. My parents have the knock-off version of these shoes and where them around the house all the time. One Sunday, I put on a pair of my Mom's and lo and behold...my feet felt supported and there was no swelling. I then decided to become a plastic bean wearer.
And I can tell you that these are the most expensive pair of shoes that I've ever bought. For reals. I went to the Crocs website and bought direct from them (because you never know. I prefer to shop direct when possible). The shoes, by themselves, were only $34. Because I was getting them on sale. It was the jibbitz's (stupid name for these things. I would call them charms or something else) --and the shipping--that took it over $100. Yes, you read that right. I went a little crazy with the charms (14 of them to be exact, two of which are plushies) and the next thing I know, my total is $123 and change!! I wanted the same color as the one in your post, but they didn't have it in my size (I went a size up from my usual to anticipate any swelling), so I chose neutral beige.
And now I see why people wear them... including doctors! They're SO. FUCKING. COMFY!!! I LURVE THEM!! AND MY FEET LURVE THEM!! My feet are supported. I bought them to wear around my house--and my parents' house--but I made the mistake of walking outside with them on. And then I was driving with them on (probably shouldn't do that). So, since my little apt is a shoe-free zone... I now have to get another pair to wear just around the house. I'm going to do my best to not by any charms. Please pray for me.
Hah, totally. Reminds me of our mother telling us to always wear a bra, even if just going out for a minute, just in case you get in an accident. 😂
You were not kidding! Riveting!!

Omg. This is a terrifying thought. The tombstone: “Rest in Crocs.” Shudder!!

Glad you got a kick out of it! Flip flops are everything. I’m holding onto my Rainbow sandals for dear life. 💛
flip flops for the win and I like my Nike slides too. Not to cute but not a croc
I am here for the Nike slide conversation.
Kara I am with you! I hate Crocs. I don't know how my coworkers wear them for a day if clinic. My feet I feel would be in so much pain.
I find them sinfully ugly and like you my daughter and family all love them. My only saving grace is that my bf finds them the same. #anticrocmovement
Love it. I actually think they look uncomfortable too. I guess we are in the minority.
That was a funny story. The Crocs were never my choice. I can’t even keep flip-flops on!🤣
Glad you’re with me! 😂

Hah, “off the rails.” Too funny! Whoa I didn’t know about platform Crocs…..
Ha ha ha. I have a love/hate relationship with my Crocs. Ugly AF. But oh so comfy.
It’s that point of… but, do I really care anymore?!
Levi and I laughed at this! He goes “yea, aunt Kay Kay Hays’s them but you know who loves hers!” Hahaha
When did you know you could never go back? 😂
