Are crocs ever OK

What is the stance on crocs, the foam shoes? My take on it is it is OK on a boat or a beach. I must admit I do own a pair for when I was on the beach all the time but I don't see a lot of love for them on the board.

They're Jellies. Do men wear Jellies?

No. Prepubescent girls wear Jellies.

They are without a doubt the dumbest, most impractical footwear i have ever seen , excepting flip flops of course!!

Only if their pink.

I think they fail in every sort of way with better substitutions in every field.

I think they'd suck for medical work because they have holes in them and not close toed. The beach and showers have flip-flops. Boating shoes are good for boats or other light sneakers. Lastly, general footwear has the shoe or the boot. I don't think they fill any niche out there other than, "Cuz' I can!"

Besides, Maddox is on par with that I think.

The only time they're OK is if they're pink and you just drew down and killed a crook while CCWing.

I'm wearing a pair right now! WITH socks!!!

Sure they are ugly and ghey. I got them for camping. and wear them when I am too lazy to put my shoes on. I don't care what other people think of clothes I wear.

Only if you are one of those guys that think it isn't gay if no balls touch.

Yes, he used the perp's own firearm. Crocs are OK for him.

Copy-and-Pasted from the other croc thread.

Story is linked here.

Self-defense shooting in Pink-croc-guy's own driveway. Pink-croc-guy was unarmed, but took the bad guy's gun away from him and killed him with it.

Death wears crocs... pink ones.

Only if wearing crocs is your ticket to getting some great sex from a smoking hot babe.

He could wear an oversized baby diaper and tiara and he'd still be AOK. Human beings, though, shouldn't wear new age jellies.

I'm sitting in my bunker right now wearing a pair of camo ones
that my daughter gave me on fathers day so I could match
the pair that my grand daughter wears.

Lilly likes the fact that her and paw paw has the same taste in foot wear.

Yeah, everytime I wear them I think of them both.

Laugh at a man wearing Crocs and he WILL kill you, with your gun. FACT.

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

from the slippers and

when coupled with a firearm.

flip-flops are at least cheap.
I thougth crocs must be cheap to be so popular, then I looked at the price.

You will catch teh ghey wearing them.

I have a pair of camo crocs to wear from hot tub to house in winter easier to get on than flip flops. But I think as functional foot wear they fail in every categories!!!

i'll never buy them

how many of the above posters have actually worn them? I haven't. My brother has a pair and he recently told me how 'awesome' they are. he's worn them camping, hiking (apparently a lot hikers love them too), boating, to the beach, etc. they are comfortable, allow your feet to breath, and are very difficult to wear down....

not saying I'd wear 'em though. they look ghey.

I have a pair. Perfect thing to wear to the pool, and out to get the paper in the morning. I take them with me on motorcycle trips, because they feel great after a long day in motorcycle boots.

And if anybody calls me ghey, I'll rip his dick off with my ass.

Wait ... wat?

I'll admit... I assumed they were the ghey for a long time. Then I wore a pair.

Most comfortable thing I've ever put my foot into.

I took them with me when I vacationed in Mexico, and spent an entire week on my feet walking from one place to another. My feet never got tired or sore.

They may be ghey to look at, but damnit they sure are comfortable.

I have two pair, and I'll admit it.

I've also been man enough to wear them to an ARFCOM hometown forum dinner. And who cares if people think they're gay? They serve their purpose well.

I have a pair in coyote tan. Straight men don't give a shit about another man's footwear.

What a bunch of high and mighty folks you all are. So fashionable yet so afraid of someone commenting about your shoes. Tough bunch you are.

I love my Crocs, very comfortable, very utilitarian. They are 100 time better than Birkenstock's, you can actually wash them and they don't generally stink. I wear them all the time, slip them on and do what ever I want, go where ever I want.

These are the latest pair I have purchased and they are sweet.

Preach it brother Deej, they are comfortable as all hell, quick to put on. Men who are comfortable in their sexuality can wear them, or just don't care what others think.

My 22 month old daughter has a pink pair and she won't take them off. She calls them "Croc Crocs" and wears them non stop around the house and everywhere we go. They're perfect for her in FL.

Wearing them as fashion = gay, use them as a tool = ok

I'll admit it I have two pair one in black one one in sudo camo.

One pair is at the cabin and one is down stairts for the "damit I left that in the truck" moments.

I have a pair in hot pink, I LOVE them, especially when boating or at the beach, daughter also has a pair in tye-dye, they're her favorite shoes.

Two of my fishing buddies wear them on the boat. I never get tired of giving them shit about it.

Holy crap! Tacticool Crocs!

I've never worn Crocs, but I've been told they're mad comfy. Saw them all over in Hawaii.

My wife bought me a pair of camo ones. Lost a corner of my man card but they sure are handy.

I bought a black pair of the knock-offs at Target for our summer beach trips. Better than flip flops and dry out quicker than my sandals. Can't beat them.

Wife hates them, so I like to wear them out to pick up the paper and roll the trash out to the curb with them.

(Black or white socks optional depending on how much I want to annoy family/neighbors.)
