    ...Or How I Have Embraced Comfort On My Birthday.

    Now, my brithday was last week and The Wife took The Kids shopping for a gift for me. The Girl bought me something I had never even considered: Crocs. I mean, foam rubber and trendy shoes? Fuck that noise, but my friends, they are fucking comfortable. They are lightweight, mold to your feet, and have these little massaging bumps inside. Now I will be the first to admit, they are trendy and hippies wear them, but fuck me running, they are among the most comfortable shoes I have ever worn. I wear mine in the house like slippers, but more comfy.

    But there's more.

    It seems that asshole Bill Maher hates Crocs http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nDzZPmT8kFM and everything he hates, I love.

    So in closing: Crocs (specifically the Beach model) are comfy and fuck you Bill Maher.

    Thank you.

    I've considered getting a pair for the hubby to slip on to go outside for minute then back inside. You know, not to be bothered by all that tying and untying of laces ...

    I've never tried them, but from what I hear they ARE comfortable.

    Maybe it is one fad I could like. And I usually don't go for fads.

    Of course, my heavy duty workboots are comfortable too. :D

    No more than regular shoes and the foam doesn't absorb smells at all.

    I've seen a lot of nurses wear them, and I've thought about getting them for those days where I'm on my feet for 12+ hours. But I can't really bring myself to spend $30-40 on cheap-looking shoes. And my feet are really narrow; I don't see how they'd stay on when I'm walking.

    They look cheap, but the actual Crocs brand are pretty well manufactured (at least so far). As far as staying on, the model I have (Beach) has a heel strap. And mine are in a pretty manly blue. :enty:

    I concur. I have a friend who loves them. He put together a houseboat trip for his family but invited me along because we used to hang out and go waterskiing in the summertime. He was going to get matching Crocs for everyone but ended up not doing it.

    When he told me I was like "THANK GOD". But then I actually wound up trying a pair on a couple months later. I got to tell you, they are so comfy that I'm sorely tempted to overlook their godawful ugliness.

    I might buy a pair of them in black. I work consecutive 13 hour days and my feet are constantly killing me from walking on the hard concrete floors. I don't sit down all day, running around all over the massive warehouse packing orders, getting parts, repairing hard drives, power supplies, motherboards and shipping orders, so when I'm not at work I'd like to be comfortable.

    Why does the American general public not have the slightest bit of human diginity in some cases like this. Things like this make us look the real fool in the eyes of other countries, just like adults and old people wearing white tennis shoes when traveling abroad. :jayzus:

    I have seen them and they have to be the last pair of shoes on earth that I would consider wearing.
