Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Crocs, again

My multi-year old Walgreens rubber flip flops are about at the end of their lifespan so I need some more casual shoes for summer heat and wearing with shorts (whether above or below the knee).

So, what's the verdict again on crocs?

- Cool footwear both literally and figuratively
- Like dating a fat chick where it's okay as long as no one sees you
- Completely gay

Not talking about cowboy crocs, camo crocs or toothy members of the Crocodylidae family, just plain old dark colored shoe crocs.

I like them.

But remember, the holes are there because that's where your dignity leaks out.

Absolutely get some. I guess they are cheap, comfortable and quite durable.

Plus...the Killer Dog/Bramble Kicker from the hardest place on earth....New York...hates them and makes an ass out of himself trying to "butch up".



Go for it!

I've worn out about 10 pairs of them, love em. Even if I didn't I'd get a pair just to piss off that phag from New Yawk.

That's the 4wd strap. Ya lock it in when needed.

I made fun of them for years until I put a pair on and had to take it all back.

Love em now.

I would never wear those. YMMV.

Who's this from NY?




I hate to say it, but I love my Crocs.

I wear them all the time, year round. If you can find the 'All Terrain' version, they have thicker soles and are better on rocks, plus wearing longer. Adjustable heel straps help, too.

I, too, am late to the Croc party. For years I turned my nose up at them, swore I'd never own a pair.
But my problem is I HATE sandals, the gayest of all footwear!

Well, last summer I bought a pair of Crocs - the fancy ones with an adjustable heel strap. Absolutely the most practical footwear imaginable for wearing in a canoe or my small fishing boat, or on the beach at my gun club.
What's not to like?

Have not and will not.
Kid has a pair, says they help her w her health issue (affects feet).

Never worn sandals.

My summer shoes are Keen low hikers.

That’s a spam pocket.

Get some good sandals, Crocs are too hot for all day, they do make pretty good around the house shoes.

I've never owned crocks. I miss the old reef squishy flip flops from back when they were still made in Brazil. I wore out several pairs because my autoimmune disease often causes painful swelling in my feet to where I can't put a normal shoe on. Those squishy reefs were a life saver for years but like many good things they went to China and went crap.

Those of you that hate crocks and would like to see them go away simply need to get me liking them and they'll be gone quicker than crave biltong at Costco.

I used to always make fun of those who wore them, finally said screw it who cares what people think. I like them comfortable and light weight. At age 65 other can say I am stupid and I don't care.

Crocs have purpose and function. They’re lightweight, simple to slid into barefooted or with socks.

For any quick hitting chore around the house, from taking the garbage out, to running outside to yell at the dog for trying to fight a tribe of raccoons. They are a great solution.

I would say, get yourself some Crocs. I found them to be comfy on my feet. I let my son try them, he liked them too. So, I bought him some.
When I got mine, they were on sale, got them at a good price.

I also use them while hunting, they don't weigh much. Tie them to my pack, If I need to cross a bit of water, I'm not getting my boots wet.
I think you'll like them.

You could always go socks with birkenstocks and really let the world know you don't care what they think.
