Don't be silly. His toes are prehensile, and much longer than that. /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif

 

[Forbsie]

Oi!! I regarded you two as friends and here you are taking the p!ss out of my very attractive suntanned feet. /forums/images/graemlins/tongue.gif

 

[BrendanS]

OK your suntanned feet are lovely, and the way you can wrap your tail around branches of trees to swing through them is very endearing.

 

[ccscott49]

Thats his tai???

 

[BrendanS]

I never looked in detail. Just impressed by his ability to swing through the trees.

 

[Forbsie]

Look, the Penan tribe in Borneo were really impressed with my blowpipe skills. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

 

[ccscott49]

The penis tribe? The girls or the boys?

 

[Forbsie]

Both, as it happenned, had looks of awe on their faces.

 

[BrendanS]

Are you sure it was awe on their faces?

 

[ccscott49]

Or sheer terror!!!

 

[BrendanS]

Might explain why they nicknamed him 'Blue Whale Forbsie' even though they'd never seen a Blue Whale

 

[ccscott49]

Didnt know wether to harpoon him or throw water over him!! /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif

The reality if only you will see it is they are damn comfortable, easy to slip on and thus ideal 'outdoor' slippers. Now I gave up trying to be fashionable after the RN dressed me in WW2 surolus stuff so I don't really care what you think of how I look I am comfortable and that is what matters to me, get used to it.

I'll just go and fibreglass my aft cabin and leave you guys to continue extracting the michael.

 

[Twister_Ken]

Bit worried about that yellow bolt on the bottom of them. Can't they just use velcro or laces to keep them on, like everything else.

 

[BrendanS]

They were probably more terrified of being harpooned themselves! /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif

Oh, he's off to do some work now, so we can take the piss properly

Crocs are particularly good when beaching the tender. Not only do they protect your feet from stones, etc., but they are comfortable enough to walk around in for a few hours if you don't want to change. Mine are far from fashionable, tho' but then neither am I in my summer cruising shorts and T shirt.

BTW - there are some ladies' Crocs are are quite natty, with a heel. A fairly trendy friend was showing them off earlier this year and Mrs L finally found some in Cannes.

Like most things that are a huge success and copied, they are popular with lots of people.

We have some cheapie versions which are fine, as people have said. But - probably because they are cheapies - the soles are very lightweight and every prickle and sharp stone is pretty painful.

As for crocs.. yes, I want the option of "they are effing ugly but I have some..."

Who likes to be fashionable anyway? Me, I prefer the idea of prehensile toes and an impressive blowpipe....
