I thought people wore them because of how comfy they are, not for the looks

Fun fact about Crocs.
In the movie idocracy, the costume designer chose crocs as the primary style of shoes because they considered to be so ugly only a complete idiot worluld where them.

So many options for comfy shoes, why choose those.

I used to be a big hater of Crocs. Ugly, rubbery, cheap looking things that anyone should be ashamed of wearing.
I needed a new pair of shoes for a new little garden patio we did up. On a whim, I tried a pair of Crocs (with semi-ironic weed leaf print), and honestly? They’re pretty good shoes. I wear em when I do other various chores that might have me going outside.

Hey man if you like them, as I said somewhere else I don’t like shoes that aren’t attached to my feet, they make me really uncomfortable.

Because they’re cheap as hell, easy to slip on, comfy and you don’t really have to worry about them getting wet and whatnot. What would in your opinion be better for summer cabin, for example? Or just taking out the trash?

My flip-flops, which have the added bonus of not looking stupid as all hell
Also they were $2 cheaper than the Crocs right next to them

They’re like $60. I wouldn’t call them cheap as hell, I actually think they’re massively overpriced. But the rest is 100% true.

I just wear skate shoes and walking boots all year round. The extra 5 seconds to put them on is fine, I don’t need to save 5 seconds with a pair of slip ones just to take the trash out, I just relax and make a journey out of it.

That is a fun fact! Also add another check on the list of correlations to actual society that make that movie more prophetic than satire.
Maybe I need to calm down and drink some more electrolytes.

What else have you been drinking? I hope your aren’t one of those toilet water drinkers.

I wear Crocs because they are functional, for any other reason they’ve long since fallen out of fashion. Combines good insulation with good air flow and they are extremely durable. If being ugly makes me an idiot for wearing them, then I am a complete idiot who deserves his electrolyte laden future.

Fact check: I do not wear crocs, yet I am an idiot. There is no correlation between the two.

No, you’re good. Just because all croc wearers are idiots does not mean you cannot be an idiot without crocs.
