Quoted:
I have a personal policy to never wear any footwear outside of my own property that I wouldn't be able to run in.

I'm suprised it took four pages for this to come up. For a bunch of guys that are concerned with self defense and tactics, this should be obvious.

If 5.11 had made them ARFCOM would be all over it.

Here's the deal... if you are thinking about what other men have on their feet... YOU are ghey

Crocs are only ok if your boyfriend picks them out.

They're great for house/yard shoes.
I have the tacticool OD green off roady looking ones.

2) Mowing the lawn.

The primary advantage is that they don't smell and I can hose them off. Other than that, leave them at home.

I would NEVER wear my CROCS moving the lawn. It's a hazard to your feet should any branches or metal pieces go flying.

As far as running, how far of distance are we talking? Obviously not the Chicago Marathon.

White Trash love them over here.
Take a trip to a low prize warehouse and its full of people on old washed t-shirts and tracksuit pants, all of them with Crocs on their feets.

Crocs, flip-flops, and sandals...........big NO! Feet/toes/toe nails are some of the most disgusting looking things in the world. It seems as if the people with the most disgusting looking feet/toes/toe nails wear these things.

I got a pair of camo ones for Christmas a couple of years ago, when i saw them i thought i might wear them around the house.
I put them on one time and they went to the back of the closet.

Couldn't say.

What I can say is NEVER fuck w/a dude wearing pink ones

I love Crocs..

But not for men---they are not cute on guys---unless you work in a hospital or something..

But like men in the mall or whatever---that is a no no...

A man walks down the street in those shoes, people know he's not afraid of anything.

Wearing Crocs is an act of faggotry in the first degree.

I had my foot crushed years ago and have always had problems finding shoes that didn't hurt. It was suggested I try Crocs and I haven't had a problem with my foot since. They're extremely comfortable...

And if any of you have plantar fasciitis, give Crocs a try.

Oh, and if you care what people wear on their feet, maybe they aren't the ones who are ghey...

Posted: 7/13/2008 1:21:27 PM EDT

I despise Crocs with a passion, but then again I have nothing against Hawaianas flip flops.

My Daughter was in the Hospital for about two months last year, I noticed that EVERYONE , Nurses and Doctors alike wore Crocks. They must be comfortable if you're standing on your feet all day - and they're not cheap for plastic/foam shoes.

Posted: 7/13/2008 1:29:20 PM EDT

[#21]

No they are not cheap--but you can get the Airwalk vesion at Payless for a lot less...

I love them damn things I kid you not...

Word to your mother! At least 50% of arfcom would feel at home sitting next to the fashionistas on lifetime television or whatever critiquing outfits worn to the grammys/oscars/etc. yet the have the audacity to call a man's footwear choice gay. The hypocrisy is deep in this thread.

They are the greatest shoe to come out in 25 years. For me they have eliminated both sneakers & flip flops. Lightweight, good arch support (unlike flip-flops which most have none)
odorless, easy clan up. Wore a pair on a 7 night cruise, last month, and the only time I took them off was a 2 hour formal dinner one night and to shower or sleep. Those who say they are gay are not secure in their masculinity. It is perfectly heterosexual to wear Crocs.

Here is some dude who could really use a pair:

I wish I had a pair of Crocs

Posted: 7/13/2008 1:52:16 PM EDT

[#25]

I use them as shower shoes when I stay in campgrounds. Better to look like a tool than get teh fungus.

Posted: 7/13/2008 1:58:04 PM EDT

[#26]

I think I'm going to go get a pair now.

Nothing like going against the ARFCOM tide to ensure that you're doing the right thing.... especially when it comes to fashion.

Posted: 7/13/2008 1:58:22 PM EDT

I wear them out on the boat when fishing.

My lawn is pretty small and suburban. No branches or anything like that. I guess I could lose a piece of my mower, but I can't worry about everything.

No crocs here, but I do wear pink bunny slippers around the house, because I think it's hilarious to answer the door in them armed.

People really get that

I also have a pair of "Murphy the Moose" slippers.

Along the same line, if they made them in black with a boltface logo on them, it'd be a whole 'nother story...

I have a brown pair that have done a tour in iraq so there.

I have a brown pair. They are good for summertime chores around the farm.

I also find that people who call others gay are trying to compensate for their own gayness.

Crocs are not okay in public for a man in any circumstance. My wife bought me a pair and it took me three years to even try them on. I'll use them between the house and the garage, but I'll not wear a pair of fag shoes in public.

A little off the subject, but that's what my neighbor thought one evening when he sent his kid to mow our lawn while I was overseas in the First Gulf War. He did it as a favor and didn't check with Ma Danby first. My oldest boy liked trains and had left a few RR spikes on the lawn. That was one fucked up lawn mower. IIRC from reports of some concerned, none of the shrapnel ended up coming back under the back, but you can actually stick spikes through the deck and into the gearbox before it dies a horrible death.

Steel toes may be overkill, but Crocs are asking for a "Look what I did to my toes" picture thread here in GS

There's something to be said for a bit of overkill... from a safety standpoint, it's hard to beat steel toe/steel shank boots.

No. In fact I think most open toed shoes IE sandals, flip-flops, clogs should be banned from all mens closets. Do it for the sake of all young men everywhere.

i used to hate them till i used them on the boat... now i love them.... they look stupid but very comfortable.

1. If you're a doctor or nurse
2. Shower shoes
3. Boat shoes (see 4.)
4. If you're looking for the buttsecks.

So for all of you "guys" that know all about Crocs and buttsecks, what color is least likely to draw your queer eye?

I'm going to pick up a pair at lunch.

Got 'em on sale as backpacking camp shoes and ended up liking them as general purpose slippers. Don't care what people think of 'em. They are comfortable and easy to get on and off. I won't pay $30-50 for foam shoes but if they are on sale I have purchased less useful items for more money at times.

Uhhh, got news, they aren't cute on women either. If you are wearing them to the mall as a woman then you aren't looking to classy either. They are some of the fuglyist things you can choose to put on your feet, but that's not the issue.

Its fine for bumming around the beach or on the deck. Anywhere where you would wear flip flops.

I was looking at a pair this weekend. $35 for a simple piece of foam!!! No way will I pay that.

Why not just go with orange and blue? They seem pretty popular amongst UF fans already, so you won't stick out too much.
