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

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. As I've told the story on here before, the local Mennonite boys hunt and trap them, and they have educated them to a point that it's hard to get one to respond to a call.

bet them Mennonite boys have never worn Crocs

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"

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




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.

...and mesquite thorns come right through the soles.

Indeed, my own Crocs-in-the-woods-on-purpose phase lasted about a day, tho if its what I got on (as it often is) when the woods arrives, there I go, they are like the anti snake boot, the very other end of the spectrum.

That’s funny.

funny how the older you get the less you care about what people think, Pat you ought to see locust thorns

We have those in East Texas too. Those things will go through more than a croc.

Carl... looks like I’m going to have to gift you a pair of croc’s and a shaker weight

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

That’s some funny stuff

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.
