You have really good looking feet! I wish I could smell them

[@uncletrashero]

YES YES YES. This is exactly why ive been wearing crocs for years now. I wore sandals for many years before that because shoe designers with their "arch support" soles ended up fuckign up my ankles too. Once I started walking on flat sole sandals every day, all my ankle problems went away, but i also noticed my toes were spread out properly and all my weird toe problems went away as well, from ingrown nails to painfully squished toes. But i would stub my toes sometimes in sandals and it would really suck. So i started wearing crocs when i noticed they had this actually intelligent Toe shape. and the best added bonus is that crocs just like rubber sandals can be washed constantly, you can just take them in the shower. and that has resulted in a massive reduction of bacteria in my shoes which completely ended a chronic athletes foot problem i had ever since i was a child. I havent had athletes foot is many many years now all because I can simply wash out my shoes whenever i want. Crocs are hands down the best shoes on this planet from an objectively intelligent perspective. the only real problem fashion wise is the conspicuous holes on the top of the crocs. If the company just put a thing mesh over the top of the shoe to hide the holes in the rubber, these shoes would be perfectly acceptable to basic modern fashion. Especially if you buy the style crocs ive been buying called: Off-Court style. take a look at them they look more like normal classic shoes. I absolutely love love love them. Gimme a thin mesh on the top to hide those unsightly croc holes, and i am a customer for LIFE

[@abdulaz1z899]

I advise you to search the Internet for types of feet

[@uncletrashero]

@@abdulaz1z899 "The Egyptian foot is characterized by a first toe that is larger than the others. It is the most common foot type, occurring in 50.8% of the population The Greek foot, which is characterized by a 2ᵉ toe that is larger than the others. It is found in 40.2% of the population The square foot or Roman foot where the first 4 toes are aligned. It is present in 9% of the population" in all cases the croc design makes more sense because while a greek foot can fit reasonably well int eh croc design, the egyptian foot (50% of feet) dont fit as easily in to the standard shoe because the standard shoe is still pointed toward the outer edge of the foot even compared to the Greek foot. and the roman foot it makes basically no difference at all. Therefore the croc design makes the most sense.

The impacts of Meta have and will continue to benefit ordinary people in a lot of ways. For example, the data they collect and process is used by companies to improve productivity/efficiency, by better identifying and targeting consumer needs. Data is valuable for a reason. Companies use data to increase profits and deliver more value to consumers/clients. Have you ever considered how/why it is that when you use a search engine, you’re able to quickly find what you’re looking for? Or how your GPS app is able to give you efficient routes? Nearly every facet of modern society is impacted by the valuable information embedded in data, directly or indirectly, as is the case with technology. Analogously, you don’t have to drive a car in order to benefit from the existence of cars, since you are a beneficiary of the infrastructure that they enable. It’s time we stop treating/viewing Zuckerberg less like the CEO of Nestle and more like Thomas Edison.

Foot shapes are different. Some people have their SECOND toe longer than the "big" toe. For those of us with short big toes, "standard" shoes with rounded, elongated or pointy toe box are actually comfier and easier to size, whereas the "anatomical" shoes with a toe box shaped for a longer big toe (asymmetric) - either make our longest second toe curl under, or feel stupidly oversized even 0.5 size up. So... it isn't about the "design flaws" - it is about finding the toe box SHAPE that is fits YOUR foot shape best :)

My podiatrist recommended crocs for recovery after surgery. They have arch support and lots of room for swelling. I still had to wear two sizes but I saved the larger ones for when the other foot gets done.

[@SheIsFearfullyWonderfullyMade]

My surgeon recommended oofos BUT crocs were cuter and cheaper. Now I wear them all the time and my foot surgery was 2 years ago

[@whengrapespop5728]

Arch support is like wearing a corset to keep your back upright. Sure, your back is technically straight, but you’re not exercising your natural ability to keep it straight. The arch in your foot is the result of a collection of muscles in your foot giving you suspension; by putting a bump under it, you’re preventing it from moving as it should, and preventing your muscles from working as they should. Like a corset, it might be necessary after a surgery, though.

[@beepbopboop3221]

@whengrapespop5728 that's great for you since you have no feet problems. You have made a lot of assuptions. I tried barefoot shoes and I still wear them in my yard abd a few other situations. If I wear them to do yard work I get foot cramps, neuroma pain, and charlie horses. Mowing is too much pushing on the ball of my foot. No amount of training my feet (decades of yoga, indoor climbing, barefoot hiking in maritime forrest, SUP, barefoot for weight training when at the climbing gym wgere uts ok other gyms prefer people wear shoes for safety) has changed that. I only wear traditional shoes for work in kitchens or concrete floors and mountous hiking since I don't have enough calouses to barefoot hike on rocky mountain trails. I wear minimal shoes on office days. The arch supports are nessisary when I get foit cramps or charlie horse. It means the muscles need a break. Even my garmin can tell by my hrv. It always says I'm poorly ready for training (which I ignore or there will never be training). My feet are training all the time.

[@beepbopboop3221]

Yes!! More shoes need to be designed better for our feet. We are making our feet deformed. I hate looking at my feet and seeing how the pointy shoes I wear have made them narrow.

Use anti-transpiration talc for your foot :)

Omg I have the same issue 😭 I love sandals and heels but I always have to look for ones that have a fabric or velvet on the bottom for better grip else my sweat makes walking so uncomfortable and everything slips and I'm annoyed and cranky the whole day 😭

[@IckeyTyTy]

I wore crocs to school almost every day for 2 school years, I am now suffering with foot, knee and hip pain because the crocs had given me fallen arches. All I want to say is if you are planning on wearing crocs, don’t wear them more than 2 days in a row. Trust me on this one.

[@comicallylargerodent]

what i'd do is get an insert to prevent that! planning on doing so already for other shoes so :)

[@BurdofSin]

Exactly.

[@thegreypath1777]

I just use my favorite insert. Crocs are my house shoes. I also like to use Crocs when I am doing anything with water: canoeing, water slides, pool, washing our cat (a once-a-year project), washing my car, running in the rain (usually to mailbox), etc.

[@Waterspons]

@IckeyTyTy How did the crocs cause fallen arches?

[@aby110]

Sad. High arches are hot af

[@queengeekworld]

I just think they're ugly. May as well buy Dr. Sholl's (however you spell it) shoes or sketchers. 😆 🤣 😂

[@Pinkstarpirate]

I wear non-slip crocs at work and I love them. I used to have considerable lower back pain, and now it is minimal and cured by normal stretching

[@ZeranZeran]

stretching is seriously under-rated Everyone should try a foam roller under their back. Being able to crack my own back like a chiropractor feels amazing and relieves so much stress and pain. (Chiros will tell you to NEVER use these.. because they want to make money, lol) most of them can't even crack a back.

[@body46]

People refuse to listen to me about stretching. But will proceed to tall me how their back hurts

[@amihere383]

​@@body46Literally, but I feel that. I was super good about stretching and doing working stretches in my workouts, and then for some reason I just fell out of it and finding the motivation to stretch just disappeared. You can literally do functional stretches without even getting up from your position in bed and I still had no willpower to just do it. But once I finally started again, and just kicked myself into it, I fell back into the habit with minimal effort. It really is just the getting started.

Just because it has some flaws does not mean it is automatically bad. Nothing is perfect. I don't wear crocs, i wear sandals which are more comfortable than crocs. Though i still wear conventional shows for the office and for social functions.

[@Kyle-p6y]

Genetic factors can contribute to the onset of "bunions." However, the vast majority of bunions are caused by several factors including the mechanics of the foot moving. Environmental factors can not be overstated when looking at the formation of bunions. Its one of the most common foot disorders, but research does not really support the idea of your shoes directly and solely causing "bunions." sooooooo yea don't listen to everything you see on the internet.

[@uroborous01]

I have noticed that crocs are highly prevalent in hospitals. Specifically in the maternity ward where basically every nurse and doctor present is wearing crocs. I asked about it, the reason given was unanimous: “comfort.”

[@Steve.._.]

Yeah they gotta stand for nearly the entire shift. Even the ones who don’t stand inside the hospital are usually wearing crocs for comfort

[@Umamibobomb]

Also in kitchens. They make a nonslip line

[@jfoetidnwo56]

putting my feet into sweaty thick plastic is disgusting. i do love barefoot shoes, but those plastic chonks are just nasty.

[@Qwlett]

i have crocs and use them as my main shoe atm. and i LOVE them. i have wide feet and they're perfect for that, and normal shoes cram my foot so much from all directions so i either need to get massive shoes or my feet bleed. also they're so easy to just slip on and even in normal mode almost never fall off. also super easy to wash and great shower shoes. also i personally like wearing them in pools when im just relaxing bcuz they float so i don't sink. and imo they look pretty good.

[@Qwlett]

@@spiegeltn what are the differences?

[@Jen_Agnes]

I'm a (new) doctor and I wore crocs throughout my internship year. Many consultants hated them but honestly they're the most comfortable n functional footwear. Easy to slip on n off, easy to walk in, breathable, easiest to wash, clean n sanitise, and fun colors to coordinate with scrubs!

[@afiiik1]

What do you think about thesis that bunions can be linked to footwear. Lots of medical professionals disagree, say that bunions are caused by flat feet, but what causes flat feet?

[@c0rseyt]

@@afiiik1​​⁠ Pes planus, also known as flat feet, are caused when the ligaments in your foot become loose and inadequate, and these ligaments essentially make the arches of your foot (and also makes your foot not flat). It can also be caused by bone deformities or dysfunction of one of the leg muscles (could be due to trauma or degeneration due to age, etc), which as a result, causes failure of one of the ligaments in your foot to support the arches, and hence, you get flat feet. I don’t think these can result from shoes but rather inadequate weight distribution by your feet due to increased stress on them (ie sudden weight gain and prolonged periods of standing).

[@Blue-gl7jn]

As someone who works long hours in the hospitals, crocs are lifesavers. Feet swell when you stand for long periods and hurt if you are wearing closed shoes. Crocs are loose and easy to take off hence very comfortable.

[@curiouscreationcostumes]

I remember when I got my first pair back when I was little, my dentist asked me where I got them because she'd never seen them, and loved the fun colours they came in! I'd say about half of the dentists I've seen wear them. Soft but not too squishy, enough room for standing a lot, and super easy to clean. That was the best part as a kid, instead of having to throw my shoes in the washing machine, or try and scrub them by hand, you just stick them under a hose and they're clean.
