may be sticking a fork in Crocs

wow those new crocs are uglier then the regular ones....

I don't have any crocs, but mainly because I could never find my size. And I'm cheap...really cheap, esp when it comes to hiking gear, so 30 bucks was way too pricey for me. Maybe now that they are in troubled times I can snag a pair.

Looks like Crocs may not be dead after all MSN Money Article

Wish I had bought stock at $.79/share!

To everyone (especially the men) who said, in certain words, that they'd feel like they would look like a pansy in Crocs, bear in mind that there are several different styles. I once felt as you do, and pictured only the girlie looking slip-on clogs that looked like the ones some of my medical-professional friends wore, and the ones my mother-in-law wears to the beach. Then I found the OFF ROAD type at Gander Mountain, tried a pair on, and was hooked. The thing I like best about them is the velcro adjustable heel strap, the stretchy banded, one size Crocs never fit my feet right either.

Am I the only person who doesn't own a pair? Did I contribute to the demise?

I use my kayaking shoes as water shoes...

I use my water shoes as hiking boots and work boots.

I was anti-Croc until my brother insisted on giving them to everyone in the family one Christmas a few years ago - despite our protests. I started slipping them on to dash out to the garden in the morning dew, then to take the dogs for a walk in the rain, and they grew on me from there. Yeah, they are funny looking; but comfy as heck, with a nice wide toe-box. Easier on and off than Tevas, with better toe protection. And they are lighter to carry when every ounce counts.

Met a guy a couple of years ago who hiked the entire Appalachian Trail in Crocs. He said nothing else worked for him.
