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.
Comment on hole
Kusimulkku@lemm.ee 7 months agoBecause 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?

I don’t think I’ve ever seen people paying for the actual Crocs, just knockoffs that are like few bucks.

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.

If you’re going outside and inside a lot, like on a summer cabin or something, I just don’t want to be do that extra five seconds. Easier when you can kick them off.

At a summer cabin the weather and location should be good enough that feeling your feet on the warm pavement or grass should outweigh the convenience of shoes. Or just leave the shoes on if you know you’ll be in and out for a while.

Summer cabin
Pavement
wat
feeling your feet on the warm pavement or grass should outweigh the convenience of shoes
You’ll dirty up your feet and be dragging in that dirt. Not to mention cleaning your feet is going to be even more trouble for not much benefit. And blueberry bushes and such really aren’t something you want to step on without shoes.
Or just leave the shoes on if you know you’ll be in and out for a while.
Don’t want to dirty up the place

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
Kusimulkku@lemm.ee 7 months ago
Flip flops imo are much less comfortable and usable. So that’s a definite no from me.
Oh the horror, what will I do now if someone thinks my shoes I use to throw out the trash or walk around on my summer cabin are stupid looking?? Better put on my fancy flip flops lmao.
Come on now, friend. Who gives a fuck lol

They’re just as ugly as the LV monogram luggage or 20 pound Rimowa carryons and yet nobody gives a shit about those and Crocs have a utility value of being comfortable.
(Side tangent in case anyone tries to convert me to Rimowa. There’s a reason flight crews don’t use them.)
Here’s a hint dear reader: it’s class war. Really weird how it’s always class war.
