once had a coworker complaining about how the gloves at work make her hands smell gross. she wouldn't wash her hands or change her gloves enough. your nasty hands make your hands smell gross.
If the gloves are nitrile they sometimes can have a nasty sulfur odor that doesn’t wash off easily.

They make feet smell? Huh? They're comfortable and air-y. No smelly feet.
yeah came to piont this out. I won't argue the ugly but feet wrapped in socks and normal shoes all day are rank while crocs feet are as good as feet ever are. Say like just after waking up.
That’s where you’re wrong my friend! My feet get moist with our without socks and I had a pair that I used sockless for a while and they got naaaasty after a few days use. Now, I will say that they wash out nice and easy but if you’re going sockless with juicy feet for any amount of time it makes a very special kind marinade. 3/10 do not recommend.
Could be a personal issue? Not everyone has sweaty feet. Personally I am the same way as you, swamp foot central.. but I wear socks with my crocs.
Fuck social norms 😎

Comfy and I couldn't give a shit what you think. You should smell less I don't have the issue.
They're actually so comfy. I used to be in the croc haters gang until I got over myself and tried them. They're durable, comfy, cool out in the desert heat, easy to clean, and can be made to stay on my feet securely when needed. People need to get tf over what other people are wearing. Everyone has to be less comfortable because of these dweebs policing what's "proper" to wear and it's actually bs. Some rich stuck up aholes decided what clothing is acceptable/professional and we all just got stuck with it forever.
Fellow croc hater convert here. I'm a disabled veteran with bad feet and spend most of time indoors wearing slippers. Got tired of buying a new pair ever year from excessive wear. Finally tried some crocs and my feet have never been happier, not to mention I'm still on my first pair nearly 4 years later. I will never not own at least one pair going forward.
Oooh this is what I did too - recent convert here, I saw them becoming the new 'fashion' and I'm weak and decided to try them because people would not shut up about how comfy they were.
Now my favourite part about coming home is taking off my outdoor shoes and getting to put the Crocs on. They have no business feeling that divine. If I lived in a more temperate and dry place, I'd buy more for outdoor use. Any shame or embarrassment I may have initially felt about wearing them is gone.

Because they are super fuckin comfortable
They are excellent, versatile footwear. Comfortable. Great for stepping out back to grill, to get the mail, heading to a friends pool party, fishing, the beach or anything wet, or running out for the day.
Top tier shoes.
Unfortunately the only thing they can't do is preserve your dignity. That what the holes are for, so your self-respect can flow out unimpeded
I was this way once. I was gifted a pair and had to wear them for a few days so I didn't look like a monster in front of my family.
Crocs are so comfortable you don't rely on your dignity to make it through the day. My smile starts at my feet.

They are comfortable as fuck.
Not sure why no one has simply taken the cushy sole of Crocs and put a less ugly top part made of normal fabric. I think Sketchers has gotten close, but still not the same.
Crocs makes Crocs that don't look like the original style.

Just recently I got knock-off Crocs for gardening, they've been great, idk what you're talking about 😀
Croc user for like 12 years here. I don't have smelly feet. Maybe the trick is to freak out people even more and wear socks with them. 😎

op does not work in a hospital.
I wager 70% of all crocs worn are hospital employees.

They never went away
They are handy as watershoes or a quick slip on if you have to nip outside to put out the garbage or check the mail.
Are you in highschool? Why on earth do you care what shoes other people put on their feet?

They're comfy, cheap, non-absorbent and if you wash them and your feet they're fine

Crocs are old news. We're all about those big red boots now!
I bought a pair of ones with no holes for wet or colder weather. Was tired of snow and wet grass soaking my house shoes. I now want another pair with the air holes for summer. I wear socks with them. I'm happily married with a kid. What you think of my shoes is completely irrelevant to my life. People really need to mind their own business. My work banned cargo pants cause the owner had a unreasonable hatred for them. Jeans or slacks only and I hate it. I used to be able to a small screwdriver and a flashlight in my pockets as that's all my job often needed. Now I carry a backpack around for them, which is dumb.

I love my crocs. Easy to wear, my feet stay cool, and the texture makes me feel like my foot is getting massaged.
They never fell out of style amongst people who work on their feet all day. I'm guessing you don't need them while riding a desk, try walking 10mi a day through a warehouse and see how your loafers do.
People who work on their feet all day don't use crocs. You'd use TreadSafes that have actual support and fit, or you'd use an actual work shoe like Keen. Crocs absolutely will not hold up in a warehouse and will provide zero support or protection for your feet.
Lol ok.
-A guy who walks 10mi a day through a warehouse in crocs, while seeing all my coworkers also wearing crocs, who used to have a shitton of foot pain but hasn't since switching to the crocs.
Sorry but I think I'll take my own word over yours on this one.

I got the Sketchers version I think its basically the same, they have holes in the top, but no holes under. They're just comfortable, easy, and the strap at the back you can move it to the front so you have more freedom or to the back so you have more support is kinda cool. I also am getting older and don't care if I look cool or not. function over fashion. have never worn crocs though, they don't sell them here.
Working from home has made me dead set against wearing uncomfortable clothes ever again. If they're clean and not wildly silly looking what does it matter? Anyone that stresses how anyone else dresses after highschool seriously needs to take a long hard look at their life and fix themselves/mind their own business. You'll pry crocs, tshirts, and sweatpants out of my cold dead hands.
Also, if people complain that crocs make their feet smell they're telling on themselves and their poor hygiene. Their unwashed stanky fungus feet have just been masked by absorbent socks or unchallenged by totally open flipflops. Wash your feet you nasties.
They are comfortable god-damn it
If you put them in all terrain mode, they make great river shoes. You can't stub your toes in them like those thin slip on ones and they are bulky enough that your feet don't get wedge between rocks.

I bought a pair for when I did long distance hikes.
They are closed toes, and super light. Felt great, at the end of the day, to trade my hiking boots for crocs.
Now they are my around the house shoe.
