They’re Gore-Tex, Jerry!
Every now and then I get the feeling there might be something about them. Are they like supremely comfortable? Everyone I see wearing them nowadays seems chill and makes it look like they’re comfy.
Either that or the country has fully devolved into Walmart as Idiocracy foretold.
They’re comfy, they’re easy to clean, they’re water proof, they float, they can be worn like slippers with the straps up or can be more comfortable for walking around with the straps down, you can regularly find them for $30.
What are the negatives again?
I think I’ve always equated them with the horrendous water shoes I remember as a kid. That, and the look just never said comfort to me. But I’ve felt some fomo in recent years lol
My GF got a pair of Crocs clogs for work. She works for a vet so she needed something easy to clean and comfortable, and they’re definitely both. She was a doubter just like you until she got a pair.
Granted, they’re not the ones with the strap on the back and holes so they don’t look terrible, or at least as terrible as a pair of clogs. But she understands why all the nurses wear them.
