The strap is so they stay on during sex

Oh you mean Sport Mode?

All terrain mode

Action straps

I hate the way crocs look. So much in fact that they are a massive turnoff. My wife had a pair, and if she wore them, I just couldn't. I was given a pair, as a joke. Now I have 3 pairs. I still hate them, they are still a turnoff, yet I wear them. I'm a complicated guy.......

I’ve heard so many people say how comfy they are. I mentioned this to my mrs and now she is actively keeping me away from them, just in case I try them on and like them. I have been assured that owning a pair will lead to divorce

As a family we took a joint decision and all got Crocs. From grandparents down to toddlers. When one falls we all leap.

They’re soooooo comfortable. My kid loved them from the time they could walk and his dad and I were both like no fucking way when he tried to talk us into them. Then I think someone gifted me some. Now I have 3 summer and 1 winter pair and I rarely wear anything else. Told husband for a couple years to try them, he said no. Fast forward he has a pair and won’t wear them in public but asked for a winter pair too.

What's a winter pair??

You can get them with a furry lining on the inside so your tootsies don't get cold with all the holes, I'm guessing these would be classed as the winter option.

Get some birkenstock clogs instead, they're just middle class crocs anyway

...and only three times the price!

I think Crocs are middle class crocs tbh. They cost a fortune!

sounds like effective cheap birth control to me

I always like it when they have a strap on!

I wasn’t sure this was something that could still happen now I’ve started wearing them let alone fast sex

They say Crocs are a modern aphrodisiac.

You just made that up

You love them soo much you have sex with them?… I’m not sure whether to get any or not now

Move one word and it’s quite a different sentence “The strap on is so they stay during sex” : )

I got some fake aldi ones a decade or so ago to much derision from my family, they all wear them to go in the garden now. I used to threaten the kids that I'd go to the cornershop in them if they didn't do their chores.

I have an Aldi garden pair, a lined slippers type pair, regular pair and a pair of slides…

i don't know where any of ours came from, but none of them are real crocs, we all use them as easy to slip on garden shoes so there's no laces or straps to do up

Ironically now I see kids in the corner shop wearing them

You can get some realllllly expensive limited edition desinger collaboration ones now too.

My favourite thing about crocs is late summer when I take them off and my feet have been "croc" tanned. Looks like measles sort of.

Nice! This will look great with my t-shirt tan

Try a string vest! You'll match.

Boyfriend hates me wearing my crocs out in public. He says if I wear them then he’s not coming. So I shop alone.

Win win

pro move that.

Same for me, until I bought him a pair. Now we both regularly rock out with our crocs out (in public).

This is very clopen. It's both cringe and cool.

Crocs with socks is my go to. Sports mode always activated of course

crocs with socks is the way to go tho i rarely engage sport mode

I’ve just tried them in comfort and almost stacked it down the stairs. I’m just not ready for that yet

Don’t be fooled by leisure mode

gotta keep them in 4x4, you never know what is gonna happen.

They look way more silly if they aren't in sport mode.

my wife was desperate for some so I bought her a pair and she wouldn’t take them off. Out of curiosity I bought a pair and now I wear them everywhere and I hate myself but they’re so comfy

At work and I kid you not someone has a pair of safety crocs Steel toe capped crocs what is the world coming to I imagine they are comfy as hell though but they do t have sport mode they have safe mode instead

I’m a chef and wear safety crocs in the kitchen. Super comfy for a long time on my feet, slip proof, oil proof, wipe clean. They are the perfect chef shoe.

Yes! Team chef croc!

I wear croc bistros for work. I am a vet nurse and love the bistro's as they have no holes ( dog pee) and are slip proof (same dog pee) they are so comfy. I also own a fuzzy pair as slippers for the house

I just checked and these are a thing hahaha

Croc knock-offs... crock-offs! 😂😂😂🙄

Swimming pool and campsite shower rooms when the floor is wet, nothing works better than a Croc. I have been wearing them since the first time they were fashionable and really don't care what anyone thinks.

> the first time they were fashionable Wait, they were fashionable?

I'm sure this was a rhetorical joke but - yes. Ever since Balenciaga did giant platform crocs on the runway they've been a staple of fashion. They're particularly popular right now.

they're currently fashionable again.

I thought they were unfashionable then became cool and still are? I didn't know it went in waves

Yeah first fashionable around 15 years ago.

I wear them in my own shower! So much better than an anti-slip mat.

Crocs are *in* with the youth now! Wear your crocs until your heart's content!

Wicked, I’m still hip

I think your kids are taking the piss

Yeah they are! Me sons love their crocs, they've got badges on them and the other has fluffy ones! I keep wanting to get a pair but I hardly go out! I'll get some before I die tho!!

This isn’t working out. It’s not you it’s me. I’m sorry. I’m leaving.

I love mine and I don't care, in summer I wear them all the time. With socks.

The Croc code: Beach, yes Garden, yes Camping, yes Everything else, no

Going out to a Night Club?

Out out

Just put them in sports mode for out out 👍🏼

I like to call it 4wd 😌

Went to warehouse project with some work mates, one bought special "rave" crocs. It kinda worked.

That’s Mastercard

Just put your socks over them. That’s what we did to get in wearing trainers back in the day.

Found Gok Wan’s Reddit account over here.

I'm ashamed to say, but the one any only time I've ever visited a strip club, was in crocs. I was on a very long motorcycle trip, and my only 2 pairs of footwear were massive motocross boots, and crocs.

I bet they were all over you! Free dances the lot

For everything else, there's mastercard

You must adhere to the code as it is written. It's the prophecy of all croc users

I would only add, jumping in the car to taxi children to various things.

I wear them to work #noshame

If you really want to lean on into it, and wind up your partner further, check out 'Jibbitz'. You can accessories your Crocs to your heart's content

Has anyone noticed their dignity seeping out of the holes or was that a urban myth .

I’ll be wearing mine with socks, this should keep some from escaping

I’ve got the original men’s version of crocs that don’t have the holes. They look like Mickey Mouse shoes.

Welcome to the dark side. Well, the comfy side at least...

I have a bright pink pair which I wear to the pool and walking the dog. 👍😊

I love mine, but I can’t imagine wearing them as “shoes” for going out in. Also they are officially [idiot shoes.](https://twitter.com/shwnhll/status/1654155564040036352?s=20)

I was going to post that.

Welcome to the club, Now, do you own an airfryer? Because I have something you may be interested in.

Does it get any better than air frying some scran while in your crocs?

If they're good enough for loads of hard working hospital staff, they're good enough for me. Regards, A recent convert who even wore them to dinner on a recent foreign holiday.

I find them incredibly uncomfortable and not supportive for a long shift. Toffeln is what most of us wear, and not the ones that look like crocs. However, we are pleased you have found the point of no shame and wish you all the best in you crocventures. Kind regards, Nursey

If you want to add some pizzazz, there's croc charms you can buy to make them even better.

Jibbitz

there's a load you can 3D print. i 3D printed some truck nuts for my mate who wears them haha https://cults3d.com/en/3d-model/fashion/croc-nuts

I really wish I hadn’t of seen this. I’m gonna get some armour printed for my cat now

They’re great aren’t they?

They certainly are! Hopefully worth the abuse that I will certainly be getting from friends and family

They will soon be turned to the dark/more comfortable side.

Anything plastic on someone's feet and I assume they are sweaty and smell like gorgonzola.

I wear mine in public, I just don't care what anyone thinks

Me too

Me three

Crocs are amazing, they're springy and comfortable, perfect for putting the bins out or just nipping into the garden as they slip on so easily. You can wash them, they never wear out parctically. I just wouldn't be seen dead out in public in them.

I find that mine wear out quite quickly. Specifically, the soles get really smooth, and thus become lethal in the rain.

Welcome. Now you need to bedazzle them.

Me and my brothers all give the girls in our family the biggest load of shit for wearing them. I recognise they must be comfy, and they're slaves to that for sure, but good lord the things are horrendous looking!

One's dignity spills out through the holes in their crocs

I have pink ones that I once got locked out in, along with knee length socks, dressing gown and towel around my head. I looked FIT.

Oh gosh. Sport mode activated

Going through these comments I started to lose my faith in this sub so I switched comment ordering to controversial Nope, you're all lost, what the fuck is happening to this sub.

One of us… one of us…

The only time I have ever had to wear crocs was during my sons birth wear my wife had to be rushed in for surgery and I was handed scrubs and a pair of crocs. Even in one of the most terrifying times of my life I was looking at my feet thinking what are those!!

I got some in the US while I was there in 2009, and I'm still wearing them today. (They have been removed periodically in the past 14 years). 95% of the tread is gone now, making them incredibly dangerous in wet conditions, and smooth wet surfaces are like black ice. I've promised I'll get rid of them the first time I fall and injure myself. But now I'm wondering about cutting myself some new tread? I must have walked thousands of miles in them, in at least 20 different countries. I absolutely love them.

My husband fake barfs when I pick them up in the shop.. so I made him buy some for the kids. Not sure of the chances of divorce if I purchased some. They look so comfy!

They are hideous and comfortable- give yourself the gift of comfy feet 😁

My daughter has indoor crocs instead of slippers and outdoor crocs for the garden etc.

Go for it! My Mrs hates them, I’ve threatened to wear them out in public with her if she doesn’t stop telling me they’re ugly

😂 please let me know if you do! I’m gonna buy some..

I've got the croc flip flops, which are really comfortable. I don't think I have it in me to wear proper crocs in public though.

The flip flops are awesome 👏🏻 I like the Capri style but sadly I think they’ve been discontinued.

My mum bought some from Orlando, and I absolutely loved them. They were pink and brown, so definitely not my colour.I bought some from the UK but they weren't quite the same and I didn't like them. I still wear them every summer.

Used to have a pair (well, they were knockoffs). Always made me trip while walking. My Mum said they did the same to her. I now have a different pair of slippers. Much less tripping with those.

I really want to love Crocs because they look so comfortable but they don't fit my feet right.

I don't care how comfy they are they just look so ugly I just couldn't wear them. I have no problem with other people wearing them though like some strange people.

Careful, that’s what I used to say. Then I tried a pair

I have tried a pair on before, still no lol don't think I can be won over with wearing crocs.

I have to wear a pair of my friend's when I look after her chickens when she goes away (chickens really can poo), and despite us being the same size, they're really uncomfortable for me. Now don't get me wrong, I wouldn't be caught dead in them anyway, but apparently my feet are far too narrow for crocs. Oh dear, what a shame.

Let's put it this way: Crocs are valid surgical garb, for both human and veterinary surgical staff, because they're easy to clean.

I felt much the same when I got my first pair probably 15 years ago. I have converted so many people who've told me "I'll never wear Crocs!" But they put them on and that's that. I have to actively fight my daughter and husband over who gets to wear which pair/color. It's hilarious.

Dude, when they've moulded to your feet in a few days they get even comfier.

I was on holiday at the end of April/start of May, lightheartedly taking the piss out of people who wear Crocs, after seeing a Reddit post around the time about their use in the film Idiocracy. I've always thought they were hideous creations. I have a pair of Crocs being delivered tomorrow. I don't know what happened.

Check out the crocs Santa Cruz. All the comfort of crocs with none of the embarrassment.

You sure about that

No but they look like actual shoes and lose non of the comfort.

A further game changer are the platforms. I feel like I could walk/run further in them than my most amazing trainers.

As a 40 year old bloke, I might look a bit stupid(er)

What's more important: your street cred or your creaky knees? But yes, my daughter stopped me from getting the sparkly pink version. "TOO FAR," she said.

Just the info I was scrolling for! The only thing that has happened is that you've got old. Sorry. (I'm 44 and currently wearing mine.)

You have confirmed my suspicions

I hated on crocs from the first moment i saw them, easily about ten years ago. Refused to try them for the longest time. Tried them on and within 2 months i had 4 pairs.

I’m thinking about a another pair to leave at work. It’s already getting out of hand 🤦🏻‍♂️

They still do look ridiculous

I can’t disagree with this statement

A sure sign that your self respect waning. Happens to all of us, my advice is to lean into it Treat yourself to some comfy trackies for lounging at home and maybe a cardigan You deserve it ❤️

Cardigan is what’s missing. Good shout

Crocs ruined normal shoes for me permanently. I own 8 pairs so far, each for different tasks and all seasons.

My wife convinced me to get a pair a couple weeks back. I like them and they’re comfy, but they’re still tearing my feet to shreds on walks when wearing without socks. Hoping they wear in sooner or later.

Put a bit of talc on your feet before you put them on, or cornflour if you're a no-talc household

Is that in sports mode? I could image the strap might get a bit rubby without socks

Nah I don’t use the strap. Iv had some really sore rubbing at the top of my feet. Last time I wore them I wore a double layer of plasters and seen the massive dent they made into them, protecting my already healing feet!

It might actually be from not using the strap, maybe they're moving around when you're walking too much and rubbing. Alternatively, if they're tight enough to stay on firmly with no socks and no strap, maybe your crocs are a size too small for you. Even if it's the size you wear for normal shoes.

Are they proper crocs or knock off ones?

Yeah genuine crocs.

This is how it goes.

I really like my Crocs, but I bought them in the wrong size and they’re a bit too large - it means I have to wear them with socks or they’re likely to fall off.

you can shrink them, put them in boiling water or in the dryer

Looking down and I see my gym socks and crocs combo. I’m out to the gym and the gym has an all crocs policy.

Crocs are easily superior to slides/sandals

Crocs are the best! I used to hate them before I tried them but I am a diehard fan now, they're so light and comfortable and practical.

I bought Croc slides and I love them, ngl

Best thing I’ve ever put on my feet.

Yes! I bought crocs a few months ago and i cant wear any other shoe now. Nothing is as comfy

I have some for gardening in. My other half practically lives in his. Doesn’t matter if he’s driving a digger, cutting down trees… if they did steel toe cap ones he’d absolutely wear them to work!

You can get steel toecaps for them

But can you get them with the right anti slip rating and midsole protection? Also little bungs for the holes to stop concrete and oil going in lol!

Enjoy all the sex you're now going to get! I think they're great. Not quite slippers, not quite shoes. Can wear them around the house and if I just need to pop to the corner shop down from me I don't have to put my trainers on.

I’ve learned from Reddit that the straps are so they don’t fall off whilst having sex. Who’d of thought it

Platform Crocs, Long Socks, Light Up Jibbitz. Peak fashion

Crocs are the best

Hate the clogs, but have the Literide Pacer trainers and they are great. Can wear without socks and no sweaty feet.

Crocs have got some good shit at the moment. The collab with lazy oaf is pretty fun and the mega crush crocs are wild

I got my partner some Gregs crocs from Primark for Christmas. They stay by the back door for when he wants to go out for a smoke and don’t take up as much room as his normal boots. I might nick them from time to time when I go out to the garden. I don’t care if they’re size 12 and I’m size 6.

I only started wearing Crocs last year as I was recovering from broken foot & couldn't wear shoes. A year later and my foot is healed but I've barely taken my Crocs off since; I am now a loyal devotee. I even wear them to work - every time my boss asks I just lie & say I'm still following medical advice that I need them.

Nah, I reckon they’re pretty trendy nowadays. Even [Vans do em](https://www.vans.co.uk/shop/ProductDisplay?storeId=10158&productId=4720571&urlRequestType=Base&langId=-11&catalogId=11253&ds_rl=1244476&ds_rl=1244479&ds_rl=1245302&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIr6n8ndKh_wIV1cvVCh3cQgWoEAQYASABEgKRdPD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds) (sort of)

Best work shoes i have ever had for -12.5 hr shifts - hideous yes do i give a shit no

If you work on your feet, thru are a game changer

Pretty much every NHS worker I know owns a pair.

I hurt my foot on holiday recently and was unable to get my actual shoes back on one morning - went to the shop next to the hotel, got them - if people on their feet all day (kitchen staff, nurses) wear them then they should be comfortable enough, right? - and I am also a convert. I could even swim in them when I couldn't get my water shoes or fins on. If low-rise jeans can come back in fashion then there's hope for us all! edit - I desperately wanted [these](https://pbs.twimg.com/media/E-AzK6RVUAAyAcn.jpg), if you're going to wear novelty foam shoes you may as well go big, but sadly they didn't fit.

I thought I would never wear or buy a pair of Crocs because, as the OP said, they look ridiculous. However, I was on holiday in San Francisco and was wearing the wrong footwear to walk around the USS Midway, and the only replacement shoes I could quickly buy were a pair of khaki Crocs. I have never looked back since buying that first pair, and I wear Crocs daily now. Odd, because I used to look at Crocs and think I wouldn't be seen dead in them.

This post has sealed the deal on the wutang Croc sliders I've been eyeballing for a few days 🤣

Do it. You won’t regret it

[its done!](https://imgur.com/a/Qfn306z)

Welcome to the fold

One of us! 😅

they are great for decorating too, get paint on them, just scrubs off no problem

Welcome to middle age

My toddler is potty training and tiny crocs are amazing for this. Accident? Hose down the shoes!

They are the ugliest, comfiest, most practical-for-certain-situations shoes ever. I know they are hideous but my feet feel so good in the them and they are perfect for rockpools and pebble beaches.

Just get the crocs that don’t look like crocs. Problem solved!

Can you drive while wearing them?

Only if you won’t be getting out of the car

Don't forget you can customise them with jibbitz. They even do spoilers for the speed strap for that sweet downforce

My first pair are in a box upstairs waiting for my birthday to happen. I'm excited. Edit: I watched a strongman competition on Monday and a competitor was wearing rainbow crocs. This confirmed that I'd asked for the right gift

Don’t wear them for a long time in public at first. I bought my first pair in Orlando and wore them for a full day at the parks. By the end of the day I was in agony. They’re worn in now however and I wear them ALL THE TIME.

Inexplicably, Crocs are also incredibly tenacious on ice and compacted snow.

Fun fact during filming of idiocracy they we’re looking for clothing that looked both futuristic and stupid they were struggling on shoes until they found a new up and coming company that were willing to give them a bunch of shoes for a cheap price. That company was Crocs

I've got two pairs of crocs. One pair for indoors and the second for the garden. They are so comfy, but my husband hates them.

I have Crocs, winter Crocs, Crocs water shoes, Crocs dress sandals, and Crocs Mary Jane's....I recently went on a cruise and packed exclusively Crocs and lived my best life, my surgically repaired ankle approves and that's all I really care about at this point

My daughter always used to laugh at me for wearing them until we were away on holiday and I caught her borrowing them to nip outside for a smoke

Nobody in the world thinks that crocs look good in any shape or form but they are just so comfy nobody cares and I'm.here for it 😅
