Crocs - dumbest fashion craze since leg-warmers!

Crocs are particularly good when beaching the tender.

Still, at €3 a throw in the local market for a look-alike (with that same funny smell...)

Don't care what they look like they are great; really comfortable and practical!

 

[saltramsaga]

Don´t buy the cheap ones with the "funny" smell!! According to tests in Germany these sort of fake-crocs cause skin irritations due to the "funny"chemicals given off. Particularly children skin is not supposed to get in any contact with that stinking chinese stuff..

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.

[/ QUOTE ] No, I won't get used to it. I will continue to remind all wearers of Crocs that they look utterly rediculous. I can see the next Croc accessories in the shops now: a big red nose and a curly ginger wig. Roll up! Roll up! Come and see the clowns perform at your local marina today!

You might not even recognise some Crocs as being Crocs... Have a look at the Sassari range for ladies, particularly in the brigher two-tone colours.

That's cheating, Lemain! This thread applies to the original design only /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif

The only real problem you have is that those like me who have discovered the delights of croc wearing don't care a t*ss what you think. Live with it.

Jees, Peter, lighten up! This thread is just a bit of tongue in cheek fun. Perhaps your fluoro yellow Crocs are having a negative effect on your emotional balance? Chill out, man!

 

[lyralicious]

Loving the Croc flip flops "baja", and what about those fab new high heels, "cyprus"? Mind you, the "fur lined" and "fleece" lined versions are freaking me out, somewhat... Shhh, don't tell Demonboy I've been looking at these...

 

[maxi77]

THeir demure black in fact, and as I said I don't care.

This whole Croc/Heroine addiction thing is ruining this country... fer gods sake, peeps are actually admiting that they are using a sort of "Crack" croc's as well for a cheaper hit...

Disgracefull..

YOU KNOW ITS WRONG, SO DONT GO THERE.

20 years from now when the entire country are croc addicts and the supplier decides to jack up the price... you all will be sorry.

Oh, and how are you gonna explain those things to your grandchildren when looking at the family album???

 

[Tranona]

Same way as earlier generations explained knotted hankies on the head, double breasted wing lapel jackets, kipper ties, drainpipe trousers, flares, hula hoops and all the other ephemeral crazes!

Had to explain the other day (not very convincingly) to my grand daughter why I had both single and double breasted navy blue blazers - with brass buttons. She was only convinced it was a "good thing" when I showed her a picture of my father in his blazer with his Royal Artillery badge on the pocket!

The damn things are bad enough bog-standard from the North Korean factory, but now people have taken to pimping them up.

Talk about making silk purses out of policeman's ears.

In Falmouth this summer, (customary term), white crocs were £1.99 but black crocs were £4.99. Naturally I reported them for racial shoe discrimination. After I took pity on a black pair and bought them I had to take them back to the shop and complain that their bloody overpriced shoes leaked.

I live in ho Chi Minh Vietnam and bought a pair Crocs because I got fed up being asked 1000 times a day if I wanted my leather sandals polished. Now I only have to deal with the wallet, dried fish, zippo lighter, copied book, pirate DVD sellers.

 

[ironmaiden]

we used to were them on ITU and theatre staff used to wear them as well, cos they were so dam comfy, but they banned them. apparently some nurse in sweden who was wearing them had static electricity build in up in her due to the crocs.. and when she touched a syringe driver it fried the PCB in it and deliverd a massive amount of drugs to the patient....... but sorry Jamie they are great for ya feet.

 

[oxman]

I fought the family for 2 years as well, but had a pair bought for me anyway ......

- now I must say that they are only used for beaching with the dinghy for which they are perfect - they are not to be used anywhere else in public though!

As for wearing them on board - I have banned the family from doing so because they pick up dirt so easily and transfer it onto my newly painted non slip decks!

My son now has a bright orange pair of croc wellies !!

As for how many we have lying around - 3 pairs for each of the family plus my pair and 2 pairs of croc wellies - thats 12 pairs - what a mess - and how much space do you think that takes up!!

 

[glugboat]

hmm, demonic, did you use this approach to get wifi, speak first, be shot down, and ask questions later /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif
Seem to be a pattern here..
Do the crocs ´threaten you´ ? perhaps ? /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif

Extract from a song, note the last word

"Ugly thick soles with ugly big holes, six times uglier than Britney spears crossed with a troll"

 

[chabrenas]

I think the concept is good - but my (black) pair is an even sloppier fit than most of my sandals so I'd get a smaller pair (I'm already wearing one nominal size below normal) before using them on board. Wifie paid Costco prices for them...
