Crocs designs boot.- chooses to put giant holes in the boot to stay true to the croc look. I feel there's a design/production engineer somewhere laughing as hard as possible right now because a marketing team refuses to listen to him about this. You are vindicated good sir.

[@Mikhos]

What's bizarre is that they already make ones without holes for kitchen Crocs

[@texasrigger1316]

It's just an off-the-shelf croc with a sock sewn/glued in. This was just a money grab.

[@eladiocofresi5202]

The older models of the boot did not have the holes and was fully closed, with only the shaft made of nylon. My guess is the whole Jibbitz thing is the reason for this one.

[@TylerSnyder305]

I'm pretty sure all they did was stick a fancy sock inside a standard Croc. Took a worthless thing and made another worthless thing out of it.

[@fordhouse8b]

@@Mikhos Yes, why didn’t they base it on the Crocs Bistro instead?

[@user-lg7gp6fg3g]

Agreed. As soon as I saw those holes I thought it was garbage. Croc makes a work line with no holes and slip resistant already, all they would need to do is slip that sock into it 🤦‍♂️

All while you were showing the half-cut, I thought: this could be a way to make perfect kids boots that would be super cheap, if there were no holes in it, a little more insulation, better water-proofing, etc. And of course, no brand name to boost the price. It could be a good idea to do a video about that, for parents with low income: which are the best no-name cheap boots for kids, since kids usually need a new pair each year until they're 15.

[@cheesecurd100s]

Thus far with my son ive found its way better to buy slightly used higher quality boots from garage sales/thrift stores/ebay/etc.. And then either sell/gift them when he's done. Buying new seems stupid especially when there's so much kid stuff out there that's barely been touched.

Maybe the rain boots and wool socks worked in your state for winter. Here where I live you’d have frost bitten toes if a person tried to use that for winter boots. Not all parts of the world have winter weather conditions that that little for winter cold protection would work.

[@jayfirefang]

It would be so much easier to make a versatile removal washable boot like lining that had snap attachments for the holes in the regular Crocs if they wanted to go with the look. You could change the look of the croc with a different lining. Wash it easily and still decorate it with the weird badges if you wanted to. And it would be virtually the same boot without a lot of design flaws.

[@eladiocofresi5202]

They had that for one time for their basic models before the brand experienced a resurgence in popularity. It was the basic style without the strap and a removable liner to wear it with or without faux shearling.

[@willowashe]

They were great! I had a pair that were obnoxious colours but they were so warm and light. They felt almost like a cast boot until you put them on, then they would become the perfect soft, everyday boots. Wish I could get another (less crazy coloured!) pair.

Exactly, all they had to do was not sew and glue it in so it could be removed and washed.. It would literally cost them less money to improve the product by at least 100%.

[@alexandermckay8594]

The scary thing is how dysfunctional as these things are, they still have a sole far superior to the Sorel's.

[@joylox]

EDIT: apparently they do still sell the all cast ones which don't have holes, but the quality doesn't seem the same as the ones 10+ years ago. I'd like to see the duck boots and Axle models brought back. The Crocs boots I had were EVA all the way up, no holes or anything, and they were marketed as rain boots since they were they were the most waterproof I've ever seen. That was like, 2008 or so, and I miss those. I would have needed only one size larger for them to still fit. They did get really sweaty, but as a kid jumping in puddles, they were great. The floatiness was a bit hard to get used to, but yeah, the old ones never had holes in the boots, they made ones without holes and they looked like a neon coloured duck boot. But they don't make stuff the way they used to. They used to have factories in Canada, Mexico, and Italy, possibly others, before moving only to China, and the quality went down after that.

[@-Anjel]

Why not sell just the lining and have it be snapable from the inside to the shoe itself, that way you could take it out and wash it. But then then again if you want to wear crocks in the cold, just wear loose woolly socks with them. The UGG boots look like kuoma boots that are very common and cheap in Finland, they are waterproof and warm.

[@jayfirefang]

Ligit what I thought and if you're super into Crocs you could change the color of the lining or the Crocs. Also if the lining and Crocs are both washable, the lining being machine washable, no issues with trapped stuff.

[@alyssa5784]

Y’all - you’re definitely supposed to fill all the holes on top with decorative jibbitz

[@jax422]

It’s just the classic shoe with a liner glued in to keep your feet warm in cold weather. They didn’t even consider if it would work as a boot. They didn’t want to pay to update the design and make it functional. They just glued in a furry sock to the existing shoe.

[@nadiavoun7137]

I remember having to wear bread bags on my feet because my old worn out boots had holes. That was because of being dirt poor. Now Crocs is bringing back bread bag liners because of shitty design.

[@metaldetectingpa7950]

I’d imagine the croc still has holes solely for the purpose of saving money. It’s clearly just an existing croc glued together with a boot insert. Using a product they already have to make an entirely new one is probably better on expenses.

[@theyburninhell7352]

I don't think that the problem with the holes is that you can't get out what fell through the holes but that stuff falls through the holes. On a layer that is not waterproof. When you are wearing boots to keep your feet dry.

[@datharo5]

I think Crocs would have benefited sealing those holes like they do for the work Forest version of their clogs or even the Sherpa lined clogs that also don't have holes over that top of the foot. I know Crocs make a duck boot or maybe they used to I don't remember seeing them the last time I visited their website

That’s why I bought the other Croc boots. I got the white ones that are totally enclosed and higher on the foot as well as $99. But I also don’t expect perfection from them. I just want them to be comfy to and from my car. I walk with cane and I can’t bend my knees much. So the ease of getting them on and off is what I want. Plus these have better traction on the bottom and don’t have jibbetz ability on them! I have other Croc’s for that. I love my Crocs but like I said I like the more expensive one better. It is constructed better.

[@PuzzlesC4M]

Back in the day I actually had brown crocs with a faux fur or shearling Ugg style lining around the opening. And they still had the holes on top like a regular croc. Yes, people teased me. They make a similar version today, but it’s not the same.

[@ardemus]

Yeah, it seems like it would be better make the liner removable so you wear it like a sock (maybe with some retention so you don't take it out until you want to) inside of the rubber boot and can clean them individually.

Way longer than that. They started gaining popularity in the late 90s. They just peaked around 2008 or so. But yeah, they've made it beyond the "fad" phase.

You're definitely not way off with these boots or the brand in general. I work with people that swear by Croc's due to the comfort, but they don't even work in restaurant settings due to hot water spillage and whatnot. I use a pair of lmockoff Blundstones that while held together with Shoe Goo due to cracked leather and are safer, more slip resistant in the environment, a dude burned his toes when hot oil hit his crocs. My main boot of choice is a pair of wonderful Redback's that have to fail me. Croc's are terrible in general and their winterboot as you said in the video is only for folks who want to look trendy. Great video as usual and best to you and yours.

[@BlameItOnYourFriend]

I don't know anything about the boots but Crocs work shoes are crazy. I had my first pair last 6 years and after cleaning them they still looked new I literally went out and bought a new pair because I just thought is was gross wearing shoes for that long lol there was really nothing wrong with them. Not to mention how comfortable I think they are, ugly as hell though. I will say it is so obvious what they did with these boots though they just took all the excess stock of all their old crocs probably all the ugly colors that never sell and just sewed a liner into them and called it a boot their was no RND or thought put into these it was just to get these millions of unsold shoes to finally be sold during the winter when their business drops off.

I guess to make them even snow or winter worthy, might as well put wood putty or flex seal in the holes so no snow can get in, and then coating the nylon and might as well do the rest of the shoe in the water proofing hydrophobic spray on stuff and then they might be acceptable for winter.
