They’re Gore-Tex, Jerry!
Feet are the back-killer. Back pain is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my feet. I permit them to pass under me. And when they have gone past I will turn the inner eye to see their path. Where the feet have gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.

I like to point to Idiocracy (a movie you couldn’t make today but I say for the first time in 2024; I think it was good) which Crocs are used as shoes for the future because of they were not widely available and the costume designer said “There’s no way people will wear them.”
I stand vindicated that Crocs are idiotic.

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

I’m still waiting for buttfuckers to open their first store, should be any day now.

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?

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.

I was surprised it was made back then.
