What are croc shoes?

[OleMissGlitter]

Because those of you who wear crocs are wearing them to make your feet feel better and not for a fashion statement, I hereby give you immunity to wear crocs. However, wearing them as a fashion statement, that's another story...j/k

[Drolefille]

Does anyone wear them as a fasion statement? I just think everyone wears them for the comfort

/don't own any
//could see myself buying a purple pair though... purple is fun!

I think they "breathe" pretty well, but if they get nasty it's easy to wash them off. Comfortable, low maintenance shoes = heaven!

Depends on the model you get... The ones with more holes, of course, breathe more. They are odor-resistant and anti-microbial, too. PLUS, you can put them in the DISHWASHER to clean them. It's super easy!

These are the ones I wear to work.


These are the two new models I am getting:
Maryjanes:

and
Primas:

Let me know how these work out! I wear a pair of Mary Jane looking sketcher sneakers to work (barefoot... hate wearing socks) and I got a huge blister, and with socks kinda hurt too. I'm thinking about trying Crocs out and those were the same styles I was looking at.

Your district would let you wear them?
If my super had it her way, we'd all be wearing power suits and stilletos. Except for the men, who would be wearing three piece suits and freshly polished shoes

Luckily for me, my district actually allows the building principals to guide the dress code for teachers. In my part of the building (the elementary and middle school are all in one building only one wing is elementary the other is the middle school) we are even allowed to wear flip-flops if we want to (I'm not saying I do or I don't wear them...just that is the rule in my school).So yes, we are allowed to wear Crocs I am assuming since we are allowed to wear flip-flops. I'd ask to make sure though before I wore them.

Will do. I had to look everywhere to find them (the primas), but I finally ordered them from Journeys. One thing to note: they run smaller than regular crocs. I can pm you a site that will let you measure your foot to get the exact size. I am just hoping that they won't be too narrow. I guess I'll just send them back if they don't fit.

Like Tippiechick says, the ones with the holes breath just fine. I've never had a problem with sweaty slime. That's one of the reasons that Scouts have been recommending them (along with them being ant-microbial).

One of the things I like about them is that the PVC they're made from molds to your feet, so after you've worn them awhile, they get even more comfortable.

The Primas are giving me Grendha jelly shoe flashbacks.

How about I saw crocs for sale at a HALLMARK (as in the card store) on Sunday? They were in the front window.

I can't believe that no one has mentioned the latest in Croc shoe fashion-jibbitz!

They got an honorable mention in the now-locked dresscode for twenty somethings thread.

[Tippiechick]

I miss that thread!
