It's a little-known fact that guys can noclip when they're horny enough

[–] calabast@lemm.ee 5 points 10 months ago

There's a reason they're called a "crush"

[–] deadbeef79000@lemmy.nz 2 points 10 months ago

Why is everyone wearing crocs all of a sudden?

[–] Beardsley@lemmy.world 37 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Mainly so I don't have to put real shoes on to take out the trash tbh.

[–] datavoid@lemmy.ml 13 points 10 months ago

WHAT ARE THOSE?!?

Slides are literally Crocs, not even metaphorically.

Crocs also last significantly longer than any basic slides I've ever purchased. Including cheapo Amazon's, Walmarts, Adidas, and Nikes.

I always get a laugh out of why they chose Crocs. For anyone uninformed, see Mike judge quote below:

The wardrobe had to be something that's not around now. It had to be created for a lot of extras, and so you know our wardrobe person was looking for ways to make the budget work. And Crocs were not out in the world yet. They were just a small startup at the time. We shot in 2004, so no one was wearing Crocs. And she showed me these things, and I thought, 'Oh those are great, just stupid plastic shoes. And I said to her, 'But you actually bought these, you can order these. What if by the time the movie comes out, these things are everywhere, and it doesn't look like we're set in the future?' And she said, 'Oh no, that's never going to happen. And sure enough, by the time it comes out two years later, everyone is wearing Crocs. So it already started coming true even faster than we made the movie, really.

I don't know, but they are the ugliest shoes in existence.

Judge away. Five fingers are comfortable as shit.

~~Those look like women's ones on a man's foot though.~~

[–] turbowafflz@lemmy.world 21 points 10 months ago (2 children)

I am so confused how you are able to tell the gender of the shoes and person from that photo because I can't see anything stereotypically associated with gebnder

[–] Zwiebel@feddit.org 13 points 10 months ago

The back right tile is obv closeted gay you can tell by the way it lays

Couldn't tell you. Just what it looks like to me.

I'll cross it out as a dumb assumption, though.

vibrams just need soft pink buttons on bottom for foot jobs

[–] BuboScandiacus@mander.xyz 4 points 10 months ago

They aren't that ugly

But damn they're uncomfortable

[–] deadbeef79000@lemmy.nz 8 points 10 months ago

They're actually great for wading at the beach.

Near where I live is a shallow (waist deep) bay with a rocky sandy bottom: barefoot not advised. There're great for walking out into the shallows and helping the kids in kayaks or whatever.

Or gardening.

[–] funkajunk@lemm.ee 3 points 10 months ago

Because comfy af

[–] MossyFeathers@pawb.social 15 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Crocs are kinda magic. Try running with them while wearing socks in """sport mode""". In my experience it actually makes you run faster because the foam is fairly springy. I can run fast enough that I can't keep up with my feet and risk tripping.

[–] WeirdGoesPro@lemmy.dbzer0.com 26 points 10 months ago (1 children)

It is clearly the raw croc power that makes you trip…certainly not because you’re running in a slip on sandal.

the number of people openly admitting to wear Crocs in here is really concerning.

[–] colderr@lemmy.world 5 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Crocs are top-tier shoes to wear. You cannot change my mind.

[–] pyre@lemmy.world 8 points 10 months ago

i don't think anything can. you're too far gone!

Crocs are lowkey the number one shoes of athletes. The minute any kid finishes any game with cleats, they kick them off and roll with the crocs.

[–] TheReturnOfPEB@reddthat.com 4 points 10 months ago

Could a bear rock these crocs ?

[–] don@lemm.ee 2 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Never even once. I can outrun a cheetah in my sandals.
