Crocs - like Tik Tok - are made for the use of under 13s. Wearing size 10 Crocs outdoors is as unacceptable as an Italian man drinking coffee with milk after 10.00 am. (I am only going on what I have been shamed into learning).
You'll be okay, just give it time and make sure any other shoes you buy are ones you really like. I keep hearing crocs are dangerous as you can fall more easily in them. You're becoming a regular fashion icon! (just hang on to the Walking Dead t-shirts!)
I've never tried Crocs but my feet love Birkenstocks. Perhaps I should try Crocs as that price is way lower than the Birkenstocks. Are your new Crocs turquoise like in the photo? No doubt they're snazzy!
I love my crocs. I have a black pair and a bright green pair. I had a khaki colored pair that had the solid front (no holes) and I really liked those. Then I left them on the porch and a neighbors dog chewed them up.
I saw a programme on tv not so long ago where some men paid a lady to do that in a wall at her home-she had a workman in especially to drill 2 different sized holes specifically which was very thoughtful of her x
I bought a pair of Xero shoes for walking. I liked them so much I bought a second leather pair for work. Now, I don't wear anything else 90% of the time.
You will be back in Crocs before you know it. Once you have felt the comfort and experienced the long life and usefulness it's hard to accept anything else.
RIP Crocs ... and for how long has your wheelie bin been named Willie?
Sainsburys shoes for work? They'll torture your feet! A lot of nursing staff wear Hotter shoes, brilliantly comfy from the first wearing. More expensive than Sainsburys but they last for years. I wore my work pair for over 10 years, I've retired now but they're still good for gardening or walking the dog.
I binned my crocs when I wore them in the rain and ended up on my backside with badly grazed elbows and a egg on the back of my head. The only time in about 20 years that I have cried in pain! Not from ditching the crocs either!
Surely the new shoes are also crocks! PAT
ReplyDeleteNo… slip ons …….
DeleteI still wear my Crocs, I love them.....
ReplyDeleteI do, but I need to let go
DeleteWhy? Keep them for around the house, going on dog walks, just for casual wear! You cannot beat them for comfort! My feet won't tolerate anything else!
DeleteI loved my crocs, but the physical therapist said they had to go- too insecure, which they truly were... Still miss 'em.
ReplyDeleteI’m grieving
DeleteI am wearing mine watching Our Yorkshire Farm twice in rainy Dorset(just seen 3 hares outside)x
ReplyDeleteLol
DeleteI can't imagine how many miles you walked in those to get holes in the soles!
ReplyDeleteMany miles , they have been a friend
DeleteThe holes in crocs - where your dignity seeps out lol
ReplyDeleteI read that online somewhere. Not for me, but I can appreciate that folk wear them for comfort.
I’m not a fashion bitch
DeleteI’ve let myself go

ReplyDeleteI need to let them go x
Deleteit's hard to imagine you without crocs.
ReplyDeleteI’ve got to adapt
DeleteI have always tried to imagine you without crocs.
ReplyDeleteI know I’m a let down
DeleteYou didn’t buy NEW Crocs? What is happening to the world?!?
ReplyDeleteBut are the new ones as comfortable as your crocs?
ReplyDeleteHow will people recognize you if you're not wearing Crocs?
ReplyDeleteA ceremony! Very good! My daughter made me spit on my clothing items that got tossed in the trash. She thought I wouldn't pull them out after that.
ReplyDeleteWear what you like and if the Crocs are your favorites, so be it. When you need to dress, you have the perfect outfit and it is outstanding.
ReplyDeleteAnd what is a Willie bin!? hmmmmm..... Google thinks you meant wheelie bin? Or is Willie bin a real thing in the UK?

ReplyDeletesaw this discussed and thought you might like to check it out when youre bored
I love my crocs. I have a black pair and a bright green pair. I had a khaki colored pair that had the solid front (no holes) and I really liked those. Then I left them on the porch and a neighbors dog chewed them up.
ReplyDeleteMaybe the dog was trying to tell me something.
Sorry for your loss. :-)
From now on I will call my Wheelie bin Willie
ReplyDeleteAm sure your crocs had a good and busy life and it is time for you to let go :) Hope you get on well with the new shoes.
ReplyDeleteDon't be sad. They served you well and it was time to let go. :-)
ReplyDeleteI feel your pain. Time will heal. I hope your new shoes soon become as loved as the crocs. xx
ReplyDeleteShoes are one of the main products in the warehouse where I'm employed, and trying to stack tubs full crocs is just terrible. Much, much too bulky.
ReplyDeleteHoles in the top of crocs, yes...in the bottom definitely no!!!
ReplyDeleteRIP crocs 😄
Radical move!

Is a willie bin where Welshmen stick their willies? I thought they used sheep.
ReplyDeleteA teenage boy's comment. Not at all funny, just depraved and vulgar.
DeleteI saw a programme on tv not so long ago where some men paid a lady to do that in a wall at her home-she had a workman in especially to drill 2 different sized holes specifically which was very thoughtful of her x
DeleteMourn, grieve, and move one
ReplyDeleteTake your crocs out of bin and reuse them as wall or fence planters.Will look great.
ReplyDeleteI bought my first pair of crocs over the summer. Oh my. I understand now.
ReplyDeleteI bought a pair of Xero shoes for walking. I liked them so much I bought a second leather pair for work. Now, I don't wear anything else 90% of the time.
ReplyDeleteTo everything there is a season. Or something like that.
ReplyDeleteI thought of that, too. You won't even have to make holes in them!
ReplyDeleteYou will be back in Crocs before you know it. Once you have felt the comfort and experienced the long life and usefulness it's hard to accept anything else.
ReplyDeleteRIP Crocs ... and for how long has your wheelie bin been named Willie?
Not sure I would wish to view the contents of a "Willie bin". Sounds like old crocs would be the least of the horrors in there
ReplyDeleteNew crocks incoming.

Well yes, Crocs are meant to have holes in the top, not the bottom!
