Just got my first pair. Apparently I’m a bit late to the parade.
Love em! Great for letting the dogs out.

Rockinbbar was kind enough to point out the pair I had inadvertently captured in a picture I posted a couple weeks ago.
Camo though. Not gay. That's what friends are for!  We need to get Kaywoodie started with those too!

It's been my experience that the only people who concern themselves about the stylishness of footwear for themselves or others tend to be women and homosexuals. Men tend to focus on utility. If it works, use it and f#@k what anyone thinks about it.
One man's opinion.

I can do 60 for Jesus sandals.
Here I've heard them referred to as "Jerusalem Cruisers".

Bought a pair just to see what all the fuss was about. After the first pool day wearing them about I wound up with a hammer toe that had to be surgically addressed.

I read the entire thread. I feel I must share the accident my friend had happen due to his wearing Crocks.
My friend Don has been a fanatical upland bird hunter for over 60 years. While he reduced his number of dogs down to one, he was still doing quite well with his hunting at age 83.
He took to wearing Crocks around his house and when driving for the convenience and it pretty much ended his bird hunting days. He stepped out of his vehicle when he got home and took a step to have the Crock slip out from underneath him. It was the classic banana peel fall. He landed on his hip fracturing the femur a few inches below the socket. He had surgery and a pin installed TWICE. First pin was too short and moved around causing extreme pain. By the time he was back on his feet he with the new longer pin 4 months had gone by. THEN the leg got infected a year later. He was forced into the rehabilitation center once again, this time for 8 weeks for very aggressive antibiotic regimen every 8 hrs. He never regained his walking vigor.
I suppose someone could call his slipping bad luck . I think of it as a poor choice in footwear. Why risk falling? We all weigh the risk vs reward on so many things why take a chance? Sure he was older but he was one of those guys that would hike you into the ground up to his mid 70s. IMO he had several more years of walking behind his dog hunting quail.
I will remember this for the rest of my days. I was there with him enduring the pain of the first pin and his being moved to the hospital. I visited him and saw the ordeal he had to endure for the ease of using a pair of crappy shoes. Sure he was unlucky or was he? Footware choices do make a difference.

Are you sure the fall broke his hip rather than the hip breaking and causing him to fall? That happens a lot more than people know in elderly people. It happened to my 92 yo father.
What was the surface he stepped on to? I find my Crocs have very good traction although they don't have any ankle support (neither do tennis shoes).

Crocs = camp footwear. They are perfect for that.
When crocs first came out I figured they were so that we manly men didn't have to wear things like Teva. I should have known better when my first pair came as a package deal with a case of 270 ammo.

A prudent person would use something for what it's made for. Don't run track races in steel toe work boots. Don't go swimming wearing cowboy boots. Etc., Etc. For wearing around the house when you don't wanna put on heavy boots may be the Holy Grail.

No he broke the bone falling. Smooth dirt and no slope where he parked the car. He wasn't prudent that is certain.
