No fabric to soak up fluids, they’re light, they don’t easily slip.
They’re pretty common in North American hospitals.

It’s common to see medical staff wearing them. I guess because they are comfortable 😁

They don’t slip when the floor is covered in blood/bodily fluids. People shit on Alien Covenant for the slipping on blood scene, you can tell those people have never been around blood before. Also they’re very easy to clean.

I’ve literally never seen anyone wear Crocs and I’ve worked at several hospitals and now have a job that visits and consults with hospitals.
100% of OR staff wear disposable shoe covers and bedside staff wear comfortable sneakers or Dansko clogs. Crocs makes clogs, but they don’t have the quality for 12 hour shifts.

Working in an NHS hospital, nearly anyone in scrubs is wearing Ezi-klogs. Which technically aren’t Crocs, but are so close visually everyone calls them crocs.

They’re also easy to clean if they get gross from surgery.
