Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Who wears Croc's?

I'll wear crocs in private but I don't do shorts...

I bet I have 6 pair. Furry ones for winter. Wear them a good bit. Camo ones are a major summer footwear. Still regret that Croc's quit making the ones that lace up ones. Still not going to bring a 270 in my house though.

Crocks are one thing but you put a sweater on a Cur dog and I'm driving to Iowa and kicking you in the nutz.

You can wear Crocs, you can wear shorts, but please, not at the same time.........

Keens are keen.
If I'll pay 300+ for boots,
I can do 60 for Jesus sandals.

Yes. Two pair. They are great for camping when old men like me get up in the night to step outside. On backpack trips they are good for wading streams as well.

I killed a moose after a ¾(?) mile approach and stalk across a swamp while wearing my original Crocs, which I bought due a post that Brad made on the backpack forum here. On a trip to northern BC I had taken along stocking foot chest waders and Crocs for launching and beaching our inflatable boat. We spotted a bull moose in the far edge of a swampy lake by the highway when we did not have our boat, but my waders and Crocs were in the back of our pick-up. Game on!

I just don't think it'll ever be the same here......

I wear em around the house and on quick errands when I need something on my feet. I hate wearing socks and shoes.

Wear them around the house. We have hundreds of square feet of hardwood floor and a cold garage floor so I wear them in the house regularly.

I also wear them when we are fishing on the boat. Handy to protect your feet when fishing in the summer.

They are also great camp shoes for in and out of the tent or cabin.

To quote Ray Stevens, I am secure in my manhood. I have no problem wearing crocs around when necessary and appropraite.

I even have croc boots for winter snowmachining trips. super light, come up past the ankles, don't know if they offer them anymore, but work great for trips to the outhouse in the snow.

I have a pair 'zactly like that. They are my house slippers for when I travel since I don't want to risk having my beaded, fur-trimmed slippers lost or stolen.

I've got a no holes version I bought first. Had read on a much earlier Crocs thread maybe 6 years ago to watch out for wet concrete when the sole is worn. Uber bad [bleep]. the bottom went out from under me in like .0002 seconds when I wasn't concentrating on walking like a Geisha on wet smooth surfaces.

Next pair is an all wheel drive model that grips in the wet and was used at the Campfire hog hunt last year. LtPowell did remind me not to step on prickly pear although he was wearing the same footwear. I'm guessing he knows what's up since I'm a boy from Nevada and we don't have that spiny shIIt in Nv.

Third pair is camo/lined that I used to feed the critters in winter and in the snow. They work great and are really warm when worn with wool socks.

I'm too old to give a darn what others think of my foot gear. I couldn't care less what they look like. Crocs are very comfortable and I wear them.

Crocs in the Highcountry... note the lack of dignity leaking holes:

have 2 pair

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.

Hell ya I wear them. Indispensable around the house/shop or in camp. I'm past giving a rip what others think about what I wear.

Holy smokes - what a thread! Looks like the Crock wearers have organized and are campaigning for legitimacy - like a page from the LGBTXYZ play book. There is not a single pair of crocs to be seen in this entire county up here - even on a woman. One local outfitter told me some guy from down south somewhere showed up at the lodge with his .270 AND wearing camo crocs - so the rest of the hunters wouldn't sit next to him at meals and slept with one eye open.

Dan,

If you buy them a couple of sizes larger (pending sock thickness) you can use Superfeet insoles with them.

I take Crocs on hunting trips and use them for quick trips outside. Handy as a shirt pocket....
