So majestic.

[–] Kusimulkku@lemm.ee 5 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Please email back my spider

[–] Evil_Shrubbery@lemm.ee 2 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

But we bonded & are best bros now. We only have each other and when derping out we complement each other nicely to achieve max derp.

Also, since you said spider, it's missing two legs so needs help doing rad spider activities sometimes.

No it was only tested with Fedora.

Support for the arch of your foot.

[–] bionicjoey@lemmy.ca 11 points 7 months ago

Your feet run arch (btw)?

[–] Poem_for_your_sprog@lemmy.world 5 points 7 months ago (1 children)

What for? What happens to your foot when you take your shoes off?

[–] IndiBrony@lemmy.world 2 points 7 months ago

They arch, because of the support!

[–] Ellecram@lemmy.world 1 points 7 months ago

My foot doctor recommended them and told me that Crocs have good arch support. When it rains they get a little slippery and my feet get wet. But they do dry pretty quickly.

[–] octopus_ink@lemmy.ml 21 points 7 months ago (1 children)

My wife would never wear them again if I showed her this.

[–] umbrella@lemmy.ml 15 points 7 months ago (1 children)

you seem to imply this is a bad thing?

[–] crony@lemmy.cronyakatsuki.xyz 6 points 7 months ago

For people scared of bugs?

It's the worst.

[–] Skates@feddit.nl 12 points 7 months ago

The other downside being you're wearing crocs

[–] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 10 points 7 months ago (2 children)

That's why you put stupid things like this in the holes:

[–] ShepherdPie@midwest.social 6 points 7 months ago

Okay I stuffed my holes full of little Spidermen, but I'm not clear how that's supposed to prevent spiders from getting in my shoes. Also it's very uncomfortable to sit down like this.

[–] RandomVideos@programming.dev 1 points 7 months ago

What if the spidermen help the spiders?

[–] errer@lemmy.world 10 points 7 months ago (2 children)

They also smell terrible if you wear them all day. Source: my daughter’s stinky Croc feet.

[–] thesporkeffect@lemmy.world 6 points 7 months ago

If you don't wear socks, sure!

[–] photonic_sorcerer@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Why would you wear them all day?? Crocs are exclusively for going outside for a few minutes, tops.

[–] dependencyinjection@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 7 months ago (1 children)

I see people walking everywhere in them all the time.

I’m curious to there comfort level.

[–] AA5B@lemmy.world 1 points 7 months ago

People are weird. I don’t understand it either. One of my kids always did that: we’d go for a hike or out for the day and he’d insist Crocs were most comfortable, but he usually seemed to regret it

[–] DosDude@retrolemmy.com 9 points 7 months ago (2 children)

Other downside is that they are fucking ugly. But really comfortable. I made it a point to get the ugliest one I can find. If I'm going to have ugly ass things like that, I better get the ugliest.

I wear them in the house every day.

[–] WaterSword@discuss.tchncs.de 5 points 7 months ago (1 children)

crocs are beautiful you just don’t have the best jibbits yet

[–] DosDude@retrolemmy.com 7 points 7 months ago

Are you doubting my jibbit game? I've got spider-man, iron-man, mjolnir, wolverine, an astronaut, and Luigi.

Don't doubt my game.

[–] dependencyinjection@discuss.tchncs.de 3 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Can I see them?

How comfy are they? I’ve been curious for some time now.

[–] DosDude@retrolemmy.com 3 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago) (3 children)

They are really comfy. And they obviously breathe, but aren't cold at all, so I haven't been wearing my house slippers anymore, since they make my feet sweat.

The first thing I do when I get home is put them on. Haven't had footwear as comfortable as these.

I usually leave the heel latch up, so they are more like slippers, easy to slip in and out.

Thanks.

I think I’ll give them a try as I can’t swear slippers for sweating.

I like the pins you have too.

[–] AA5B@lemmy.world 2 points 7 months ago (1 children)

How do you get those pins to stay on? I tried Red Sox ones (so I could wear sox with Crocs), but they fell off after several weeks. They are way too expensive for what they are to keep buying more

[–] DosDude@retrolemmy.com 2 points 7 months ago

They just stay on. A friend of mine bought jibbits on aliexpress, thinking it was only 5 or 10. It was 50, and dirt cheap. Just a random selection, and I could have how many I wanted.

For the price of 1 "official" one.

[–] volvoxvsmarla@lemm.ee 2 points 7 months ago

You really managed to live up to your goal of finding the ugliest crocs. Congrats!

[–] Decoy321@lemmy.world 7 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Crocs are billboards on your feet that say "don't fuck me."

[–] summerof69@lemm.ee 4 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

I can achieve that without crocs.

[–] Rookwood@lemmy.world 7 points 7 months ago (3 children)

Crocs are just sandals for people who are self-conscious.

[–] EatATaco@lemm.ee 8 points 7 months ago

I say they exact opposite because they are so ugly you have to not be self conscious at all to wear them. The primary people I know who wear them wear them when looking good isn't a big deal (they are wearing scrubs in a hospital).

[–] gregorum@lemm.ee 7 points 7 months ago

Which is ironic, because now everyone will be looking at those ugly Crocs the person is wearing.

[–] topinambour_rex@lemmy.world 1 points 7 months ago

Or for the first man who walked the Amazon.

[–] Ellecram@lemmy.world 6 points 7 months ago (1 children)

I love my crocs and wear them during the warm months of the year.

They are also not good in the rain.

I wear socks with them and give them a good soapy wash frequently. Never had any smell issues.

They are great for traveling. They pack well and are easy going through security. Last year in Aruba I was pulled aside for secondary screening and they took my crocs to dust for explosives. I thought that was odd. I would never think of putting explosives in a pair of holey shoes lol.

[–] dependencyinjection@discuss.tchncs.de 3 points 7 months ago (2 children)

What’s the deal in the rain?

Just wet feet? Or friction issues?

Also, airport security just wanted to try them on.

[–] mossy_@lemmy.world 2 points 7 months ago

Friction issues, they'll chafe if they're wet. Best to wear socks with em.

[–] AA5B@lemmy.world 1 points 7 months ago

They wear socks in Crocs.

I don’t. In the rain, snow, or deep enough puddle, my feet may get wet so walking may chaff a bit, but the advantage is how quickly both my feet and the Crocs dry

[–] affiliate@lemmy.world 5 points 7 months ago

that’s why you wear other other shoes under the croc exterior, like kevlar for your feet

[–] Sam_Bass@lemmy.world 3 points 7 months ago

Providing a warm home for spiders is not all bad. Do you prefer flies or the eaters of them?

[–] systemglitch@lemmy.world 1 points 7 months ago

Rage bait title for shirty footwear.
