Do you wear Crocs?

I love them. Have a pair at the front door and back door for that quick errand outside AND I have the model that has the fuzzy slipper insert for lounging around the home.

Problem is after some time they dry out and lose their luster.

There is a product called Croc Butter (sold by Crocs) that reconditions the worn clog.



Today when I was cleaning out my garage I came across a product I use for the rubber on my 911. It did wonders for the large impact rubber bumpers (when I had them). I have No financial connection to this product.




I tried it on my Croc clogs and it worked well. Considering these shoes cost $45 I want to keep the ones I have for a while.

Next I’ll see what teeth bleaching product I can find in the garage. 🤪

You what the holes in Crocs are for?

It's where your dignity runs out...

Sure, nothing better than Crocks with knee high black socks!

My wife loves hers. Most of the day in summer I have socks on in the house. Outside means my walking shoes go on.

I love my Crocs!

I have a whole slew of them - all kinds of styles. Many of which you wouldn't recognize as Crocs.

I will post more later - trying to get some work in before weather turns....

I was turned onto croc brand flip flops by Baz. I have a pair (that were on sale, thanks Baz) and they are great. When I take the dog out in the rain or wet weather, I wear them.

I don't wear the closed-toe style crocks. I'd have to have a pretty compelling reason to, and I haven't found one yet (and i'm not looking for one).

But what I am perfectly happy to wear as much as possible...

I've probably had 20 different pairs and worn out at least 10 of them. I've had some for running off road (thicker soles for rocks and sticks), in the water (perforated including the soles), etc....


Best shoes I've ever had.

For those lacking self confidence they have a model without holes

Crocs + socks is a guilty pleasure but results in a dramatic decrease in the amount of action I get (at least that’s what I tell myself).

Croc's was / is a clever marketing name..
for clogs..
which was what most medical folks choose for comfort..
which I wore long before croc's existed..

A man does not wear sandles, flip flops, or Crocs in public (except for Baz!) - work/tacticle/hiking boots only!

I said something funny about a guy who was wearing Birks one day at a hair cutting place. It was an ex cop who wanted to date one of the two gals in there. We all had a good laugh. Then the hawt blonde who the ex-cop was after gave me her phone number.

Can't remember if I had my Crocs on......
