Default Crocs?

Just wondering what people think about the Crocs shoes. I just bought a pair and I don't know if I just have to break them in or what but I find the bumps on the inside part of the shoe sort of annoying. Other than that they are comfortable. What does anyone else think?

Most comfortable shoes EVER (aside from a pair of Børn's that I had), but a bit of an eyesore

Ditto. In fact they're almost too comfortable. I accidentally wore mine to a job interview once That was a bit embarassing as they're a rather striking shade of blue I normally use them for gardening. oh mine aren't real crocs, they're fakies from MEC

Comfortable, yet quite hideous. Plus I have read you can no longer wear them in hospitals, etc. because they cause static that messes with the machines. Anyone else heard that?

Heh, I wouldn't be surprised. I bet you can get quite a charge going, scuffing them along the carpet. Ooh my project on the poor unsuspecting boyfriend when I get home <zap!>

Never, never,never. Thats was until my family convinced me how comfy, cheap and easy to slip on & off, they were. Now I own a couple pairs.

So here's my follow-up question: if they're SO ridiculously comfy, yet verifiably hideous...why doesn't CROCS make normal-looking shoes with the the comfry CROC-ness we've all come to know and love? Hmmmm?

Your feet will get used to the bumps, etc. Just takes a bit of time.

I know crocs are still allowed here at the UofA hospital. I still see them frequently.
