What is the deal with Croc shoes? - Page 4

I was just reading mcdavis2000's post (Hi, Ithaca, I'm from Horseheads!!) about the Crocs being rubber. Question: Doesn't it make your feet stink? I remember the jelly shoes in the 80s were all the rage and kind of comfortable, but peeeeuuuuuuw! The sweat!

I have two pairs in purple and red. My son's have them too, the payless red, white, and blue one's and they have worn them all summer. My boys can get them on and off themselves and they are so comfy for them. I don't think they make your feet stink.

No they don't stink or make your feet sweat. Just comfy.

All i can say is if your on your feet alot ( which working in nursing - i am ) they sure save your feet! They are ugly- but comfy!

I love my Crocs. I have 3 pairs, 2 regular pairs and a pair of the flip flops. I have worn my flip flops everyday since April, they are so comfortable. Both of my children have Crocs too. As soon as I can find the Mary Jane style I'm going to get DD and I matching pairs. Crocs is coming out with Disney Crocs sometime this Fall. They are supposed to have Mickey Mouse, Princess, Cars and Toy Story ones. I will be buying DD some of those for Christmas, because we are going to Disney in February for her birthday.

I posted earlier about crocs. I think they are ugly also, but after trying them on. man oh man I'm willing to have ugly!!!! I am going to get some of the real deal when they go on clearance. shoes with holes wouldn't do well in MN winter. dh likes them for boating but thinks they look like girl shoes, but I did find a pair that look manly, so he is getting those fo xmas. dd's have the walmart version. I can't see getting the expensive ones if they can only wear the one season. they are better for your feet than flip flops and we had swimming everyday this summer so we used ours alot.

I hate those shoes, I think theyre ugly. They look like gardening shoes.

But hey if you like them thats your choice, we all have different opinions.
I wouldnt wear them, even if they are comfortable.

This is good to know, as I need something for doing Labour support (doula) work. I don't want to spring for the "real" thing if I can help it!

My feet hurt in my $60 Nike walking shoes! My kids, however have no interest in them.
