1 pair dress shoes, 1 pair walking shoes. Okay I hear you there. What do you wear to work? How about work out shoes? Walking, hiking, running shoes? Casual date shoes? Comfortable shoes for working around the house and doing messy yard work? What about if you just want to take the trash out really quick, no flip flops for you? How about seasonal shoes? Are you freezing your feet off in the winter, or sweating them off in the summer? No boots? Are you wearing any house slippers during winter?

How would this be any different if you were a non-straight guy?

Well I only have like two pairs of shoes because I’m a straight guy.

Pfft. How can you even call yourself a straight guy if you don’t at least have military boots, dress shoes, cowboy boots, wellies and safety shoes??

I love how crocs are cheap and durable. I hate how they make it feel like your feet are constantly being stabbed hundreds of times and have no clue how someone could find that comfortable in any meaningful way.

What are You talking about? What stabbing? For me they’re the most comfortable shoes I’ve ever worn.

There are hundreds of tiny nubs in the bottom.

Just wear em for a week or two and they’ll wear away to fit your foot perfectly.

You gotta wear them with socks for maximum comfort.

Distaste for crocs just strikes me as a stupid fad and I don’t even wear regular crocs. I do like the crocs flip flops that are single piece construction because they last an order of magnitude longer than standard flip flops and the plastic material they are made of of is easy to clean and doesn’t hold odor like so many other types of materials that flip flops and sandals are made of.

I think it’s just a reactionary backlash to their popularity. It’s the fact they suddenly showed up everywhere all at once, were something new that departed sufficiently from older flip flop designs and created a divide in taste. I fell into that trap myself but we buy them for our kid and they’re awesome! My next flip flops when my current ones die will probably be crocs. I wouldn’t wear them anywhere I wouldn’t wear flip flops though.

I had some and couldn’t stand them. The material would pull my foot hair, and they reminded me of orange peanut candy. And the squishiness didn’t feel foot-shaped, to me. It just felt like mush. I need arch support and a firm platform. So I hate on them because they strike me as foam toys rather than shoes.

But what if you don’t compare them to shoes but just to flip flops?

It sounds like you don’t prefer wearing them but you don’t have a problem with other people wearing them

What about flip flops

I’ve never liked those. I think the thong part chafes too much. Sandals > flip flops

You’ve only had shitty ones then. My feet basically touch only Havaianas from spring to autumn and they’ve never been happier.
