  Fuck brands… But as far as the general concept of a durable, washable house slipper goes, they are great. Also wear low cut socks.

    If you’re in your house then why are you wearing shoes? Just wear socks or go barefoot. Maybe they’re useful if you need to step outside for a minute to take out the trash when it’s cold outside. In my experience, regular slippers tend to fall apart if you wear them outside

      Well, I have pets who drag toys into walkways where it’s easy to step on. I also have atypical proportions and it’s a challenge not to accidentally kick a table or chair leg dodging said pets or their toys.

      Furthermore, I don’t want to make people look at my feet and just socks wears down the socks/can be slippery. Socks also don’t shield my feet from spills or things being dropped on them.

        Makes sense. They’re still not for me but, from that perspective, I can see why someone might like them

        You can get socks with rubber bits on the bottom to help with the slippery part, but that would not help with the rest.

      If you’re in your house then why are you wearing shoes?

      Plantar fasciitis - I can’t even make it across a room barefoot without severe pain, so I wear slippers with orthotic inserts at home. That being said, I would amputate my own feet before wearing crocs.

      Dog slobber. We have two dogs. One loves to take a big mouthful of water and run up to my wife and me with it, splashing drool water everywhere on the way. The other has recently learned this trick from him and now we have double dog drool. We don’t go barefoot much anymore.

  I love them for in the garden and shop. They’re hideous, but I don’t have to bother with socks or taking the miniscule amount of effort it requires to put on shoes.

  Every now and then I get the feeling there might be something about them. Are they like supremely comfortable? Everyone I see wearing them nowadays seems chill and makes it look like they’re comfy.

  Either that or the country has fully devolved into Walmart as Idiocracy foretold.

    They’re comfy, they’re easy to clean, they’re water proof, they can be worn like slippers with the straps up or can be more comfortable for walking around with the straps down, you can regularly find them for $30.

    What are the negatives again?

    • degen@midwest.social ⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

      I think I’ve always equated them with the horrendous water shoes I remember as a kid. That, and the look just never said comfort to me. But I’ve felt some fomo in recent years lol

        I hated those water shoes too, but I do actually really like my Crocs…

    My GF got a pair of Crocs clogs for work. She works for a vet so she needed something easy to clean and comfortable, and they’re definitely both. She was a doubter just like you until she got a pair.

    Granted, they’re not the ones with the strap on the back and holes so they don’t look terrible, or at least as terrible as a pair of clogs. But she understands why all the nurses wear them.

    It’s an entertaining movie, despite it’s downright fascist messaging that the untermench will outbreed the Ubermench causing hell on earth.
