So many options for comfy shoes, why choose those.
I used to be a big hater of Crocs. Ugly, rubbery, cheap looking things that anyone should be ashamed of wearing.
I needed a new pair of shoes for a new little garden patio we did up. On a whim, I tried a pair of Crocs (with semi-ironic weed leaf print), and honestly? They're pretty good shoes. I wear em when I do other various chores that might have me going outside.
Hey man if you like them, as I said somewhere else I don't like shoes that aren't attached to my feet, they make me really uncomfortable.
Because they're cheap as hell, easy to slip on, comfy and you don't really have to worry about them getting wet and whatnot. What would in your opinion be better for summer cabin, for example? Or just taking out the trash?
My flip-flops, which have the added bonus of not looking stupid as all hell
Also they were $2 cheaper than the Crocs right next to them
Flip flops imo are much less comfortable and usable. So that's a definite no from me. Crocs are much more like actual shoes but comfier and easy to slip on. And really cheap too unless you're buying the actual Crocs brand stuff, which, well I guess some do that.
Oh the horror, what will I do now if someone thinks my shoes I use to throw out the trash or walk around on my summer cabin are stupid looking?? Better put on my fancy flip flops lmao.
Come on now, friend. Who gives a fuck lol
They’re just as ugly as the LV monogram luggage or 20 pound Rimowa carryons and yet nobody gives a shit about those and Crocs have a utility value of being comfortable.
(Side tangent in case anyone tries to convert me to Rimowa. There’s a reason flight crews don’t use them.)
Here’s a hint dear reader: it’s class war. Really weird how it’s always class war.
Tbh flipflops looks stupid to me just my opinion tho
I just wear skate shoes and walking boots all year round. The extra 5 seconds to put them on is fine, I don't need to save 5 seconds with a pair of slip ones just to take the trash out, I just relax and make a journey out of it.
Plus I find any shoes that aren't attached to the feet I guess, things like flip flops and crocs where your feet kinda just sit in them, wildly uncomfortable.
If you're going outside and inside a lot, like on a summer cabin or something, I just don't want to be do that extra five seconds. Easier when you can kick them off.
At a summer cabin the weather and location should be good enough that feeling your feet on the warm pavement or grass should outweigh the convenience of shoes. Or just leave the shoes on if you know you'll be in and out for a while.
wat
You'll dirty up your feet and be dragging in that dirt. Not to mention cleaning your feet is going to be even more trouble for not much benefit. And blueberry bushes and such really aren't something you want to step on without shoes. Not to mention stepping on bees. That sucks
Don't want to dirty up the house
So you're telling me you've never seen a cabin that has a stretch of pavement outside it? Even if just for cars to drive up?
Dude you're feet will not get that dirty from some grass.
No, I've never seen that here. Dirt roads almost always.
Soil absolutely dirties up your feet, are you kidding me lol. You'll get a lot of soil and sand inside that way (guess how I know) and we just like to keep the place clean without constantly vacuuming. Sorry, but it's shoes off and no dirty feet inside here.
They're like $60. I wouldn't call them cheap as hell, I actually think they're massively overpriced. But the rest is 100% true.
I don't think I've ever seen people paying for the actual Crocs, just knockoffs that are like few bucks. My pair was 3€
