The only crocs that I am aware of live in the waters of Florida. No, actually those are alligators.

"See you later, aligator".
"After while, crocodile".
I actually held a baby alligator in my arms once.

I used to have a photo of it, but it seems to have disappeared.

Back in the day, I used to work at a lot of State Fairs as a vendor, and we saw shows at a few of them where a man wrestled with an alligator. After one such show, they allowed people to take a photograph while holding a baby alligator which had its mouth tied shut. We (my ex, I, and our three children) took one.

I've also been inside of a cage with wolves (at one show, and, of course, here as well...lol), fed lions meat on a stick through a fence, ridden atop an elephant, fed a giraffe carrots out of my hand, fed dolphins fish, fed lorikeets who were sitting on my head and arms apples, etc., etc., etc. Yeah, I like being close to God's creatures.

Those were the days...

Nowadays?

Just a tree hugger (as depicted in my profile picture).

:cry:

Crocs are ok as a house shoe you wear only inside your house and yard.

Crocodiles?
They make great belts and handbags and luggage.

Crocs are not extinct, only the ones with a heel they discontinued. The rest are still in production.
what they had heels? I thought they had the ankle strap
why not just wear jandals/thongs if you want something near the pool

wouldnt wear them all day though
I remember when clogs were in fashion, the wooden ones

Some people don't have all ten toes.
Others don't have straight toes so trying to wear sandals doesn't work for them.

Lots of reasons.
Crocks cover the toes and aren't dependent upon them for fitting and wearing properly.

I am one of those where one sandal fits straight and the other goes sideways. Crocs are a great solution. I don't own a pair but I've always wanted one.

But I might grab a pair of waders first.

Because the crocs bit their toes off?

haha

I would think high heels shoes would be more damaging to your feet than crocs...since they are so narrow the bunions!

It takes a while to get used to a heeled shoe, I wear that to church and a lot of times to work but the crocs I only wear at home or sometimes if it is raining when I get to work I carry the good shoes and wear the crocs in the parking lot from my car to the door and when my feet and hose get wet it dries quickly at work then I put the good shoes on so the crocs help in the rain.

At least they come in all colours

though in NZ jandals will always be the rubber footwear of choice in summer
and gumboots in winter.

My cousin wore crocs all the time when I visited my family in Puerto Rico, it's still fashionable over there plus there's a crocs store at their mall. Crocs can be found at any Walmart. However no one where's them up north unless you're going to the beach or a water park of some sorts.

huh just read this

https://normalnurselife.com/can-nurses-wear-crocs/

I supoose it depends on your hospital policy
I dont work in one, but I could ask my brother, pretty sure he doesnt wear crocs but then, hes doctor not a nurse

I think he wears closed in leather shoes
or doc martens (supposedly have bouncy soles)

but I saw there were crocs with no holes in them for bistro and hospitality workers
crocs were originally a boat shoe

and then theres socks vs no socks

I had to wear special safety shoes with steel toe and boots for gardening in case accidentally put a spade in my foot...but that was for work, and they were heavy

I think nurses would go for slip on skechers now

definitely laces are a pain for shoes. I hate laces.
Back when I was a nurse they didn't have Crocs yet and I wore shoes that were designed for nursing, they were easy to wipe clean and were comfortable being on your feet all day, however, and we're talking this was about 30 years ago, the shoes cost 175 (I remember because I about choked on the price) granted, things weren't made in China back then so much but it was terribly high.

If Crocs have a similar level of comfort and are far less expensive than what you'd get at a specialty shop, I can see why they'd have so much popularity.

I've never worn them myself though.

I sort of wonder what shoes, if any, Jesus was wearing when he walked on the water.

hmm half illustrations on google images shoes barefeet, the other half sandals.
No crocs.

But imagine if there WERE shoes you could walk on water with
