I know people, grown men, who wear Crocs on a daily basis. And they are unrepentant. They swear the Croc is the perfect shoe: It’s super comfortable, it doesn’t smell when wet, it keeps the foot cool and dries quickly, and it’s great for wearing on boats or wading in warm water.
Here’s my question: Is wearing Crocs the fishing/boating/nature-boy equivalent of wearing sweat pants? Are you just giving up?

Sounds like someone got their ass kicked by a dude wearing Crocs….
Not possible. But a guy wearing Crocs tried to run over my dog with his unicycle.
It’s about time someone had the courage to say it.
I tell it like it is, Murdock, and now I’ve got the Croc Mafia after me.
60 yrs of bad feet .I wear them all the time .I must admit mainly black I haven’t tried some of the more colorful ones.lol
Just don’t work in the dirt with them you will need a powerwasher
One of my buddies just emailed that he bought them to cross small streams while hiking but now wears them everywhere all the time. I think he wears them with sweats, though.
I don’t own sweatpants.
And I got them for crossing *large* streams and to serve as camp shoes. they’re too convenient to not wear more often.
With culottes?

Crocs are at the top of my list of hated items…
Pete, I just spit out my coffee. I wear crocs but dont wear sweatpants thank god. In light of your most recent post I found this: The top 10 Reasons to wear Crocs (according to littlerubbershoes.com)
1. Nothing is softer or more comfortable
2. They are hardly there (less than 6oz.)
3. Air ventilation ports keep your feet cool
4. Non-marking soles
5. Resistant to bacteria and odor
6. Ultra-hip, Italian styling with molded foot support
7. Slip resistant
8. Sterilized in water and bleach
9. Easy to maintain
10. Water and sand pass through air vents
*11. All the cool guides are wearing them
That’s right Jason, I believe I have photographic evidence of you in Crocs. Let me sort through my archives…
Grown men should not wear crocs
I don´t like those “shoes”, my father bought a pair on his last travel to Northamerica and he loves it. I follow his advise and bought a pair on internet… I regret…
Why such hate ? Whats the alternative ? They are more comfortable than Earth Shoes! lol
Oh I forgot most of you guys were swimmerettes when they were around
Mind your own damn business…next you will tell me to stop fishing and what to eat. Oh, wait….you already are. Just joking…I love crocs…but only with the cool back strap.

I’d be interested to know if they’re any good for wading. Never tried them for that
