I admit I have worn Croc's for about 4 years, with socks or without. Dang nice for going outside without lacing up boots and taking back off in the mudroom
Posted By: EdM Re: Who wears Croc's? - 01/18/18
Nope.
Posted By: RockyRaab Re: Who wears Croc's? - 01/18/18
Yup. I use them as house slippers, and for trips to the curb. Surprisingly warm and very comfy - but they'll probably ruin your arches if you wear them a lot.

Hint: if yours get slick bottoms, just run a few beads of hot glue across a CLEAN and dry sole to restore traction.

Well funny this should come up, guy I work with commented on this just the other day. Think he said something like "Wearing Crocs is like a BJ in prison...feels great until you look down and realize you're gay."
Posted By: Bobmar Re: Who wears Croc's? - 01/18/18
I wear the camouflage kind so nobody can see them. Even so, I would never leave the house wearing them.
Posted By: Whiptail Re: Who wears Croc's? - 01/18/18

Yep, I have one pair at the front door and another at the back door. They're great for a quick run outside.

I also use them for going in and out the tent. The ones without holes are better for camping.

No hole versions, though I don't think we have an actual crock version. Amazingly warm. Amazingly tough even in S Texas thorns trailing a wounded deer once...

Don't wear em much but around deer camp or the house. And generally always have at least one pair in the tent when hunting.

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 Ā¾(?) 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!

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.
Posted By: 2legit2quit Re: Who wears Croc's? - 01/18/18

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.
Posted By: JLimbo Re: Who wears Croc's? - 01/18/18
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.

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.

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....

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.

Posted By: Azshooter Re: Who wears Croc's? - 01/18/18
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).
Posted By: Mad_Max Re: Who wears Croc's? - 01/18/18
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.

Is that why they call them Crocs?

Because its a Croc of Schit that a half pair of plastic shoes would cost that much?

You must not have ever been on a long flight.

The depth of urine in the airplane bath room after 13 hours is easily above the holes in a pair of crocs.

Whether going to the local Safeway or flying half way around the world, I wear shoes that won't come off and that protect my feet if I have to run for my life across broken glass. There is not one whiff of exaggeration in the preceding sentence.

I am faintly amazed at friends who wear open toed sandals on airplanes and anyplace from the souk in Fez to downtown Los Angeles. FWIW a doctor I worked with in Africa told me that parasite worms enter the body through bare feet or access to bare feet on the ground.

I wear Crocs (actually cheap knock-offs) in my house and around camp sometimes, but not elsewhere. My moose stalk in Crocs was an exception. cool Mine are super slick on wet floors, etc.

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

Oh yeah, well, I should say patio and driveway only.

BBQ shoes and starting the pickup in the morning shoes, etc..

They are awesome. Feet slip right in and right off


The uber hip-hop skull pants were a gift and those are strictly worn in the house.

I like to to a be a man of leisure and generally shed the Carhartts after work.


The little, old dog actually like his Pendleton sweater. Quite stylish not to mention very functional....

My Crocs have the holes. I don't care what they look like. They're cooler and my feet don't sweat as much with them. They're great for irrigating, too, because the water drains out. They do have disadvantages when gardening, though. Dirt and rocks get in the holes. I might have to get a solid pair this spring for that.

I keep a camo pair in my trailer. They're great for in and out of the trailer, putzing around camp. If I get in the truck the boots go on.
I use them around the house to dump the trash, take dogs out, check the mail and I putz around in the garage in them. They are way better than old fashioned slippers.
I have the ones with the holes. My son says it's so all my dignity can leak out. He also saw on a show somewhere where they are called big rubber masterbater shoes so now they are called my BRMBs around here.

That nasty little piggy needed to be put down. His right front leg was messed up bad. Looked like it had been shot before.

I may be the guilty party, since a couple of months ago I fired 3 shots at a sounder of pigs in the back of the ranch with my AR15. Recovered two out of the three, but the third eluded me. I know I heard a bullet hit meat each time I pulled the trigger, so this one probably caught the round I couldn't account for.

I do too, but it's been a pain in the butt trying to. We had back to back snows, about a foot in all, and it's been hard for an old fart like me to walk in it. Coyote tracks have been everywhere, but they are just not cooperating.

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).


All Crocs are not equal, the originals really are slick as ice on any hard wet surface. In response they now make some models with harder sole inserts.

First pair of Crocs I had was the wide-toed diabetic model, dang they were comfortable.

Since then Crocs have been my usual footwear. One year my name among my students was The Most Interesting Man in the World, "I don't always wear shoes, but when I do, I wear Crocs" grin

Last fall I even hiked ten miles in Crocs, over steep and rocky Hill Country trails, carrying two gallons of water in a backpack. Crocs are also my usual cycling shoe, and my daily wear at work.

Here I was just last week, reveling in the coolness of my Crocs cool

Downside of Crocs is they wear rapidly. In particular, once the outside of the sole at the heel wears down a little they can work havoc on you knees, ankles and feet.

Menopause and a snip both work pretty good, too. Wifey and I are both Croc fans.

In our area clinics many doctors wear them while on duty. They also recommend them to their patients.

Not no but hell no.

I do sport Birkenstocks every now and again.

I wore Birks for years but I never really got to where I could climb stairs without stepping out of them. My toes don't clinch right. I've never had that problem with Crocs.
