I used to dislike crocs because I didn't like how they look, but now I can say as someone with severe nerve damage in my feet, crocs are the ONLY shoe I can wear comfortably without having throbbing pain after just half an hour. I can wear them all day and only start hurting towards the end of the day. Not only do I love them now, I prefer them

im in a similar boat, i've got severe hypersensitivity when it comes to touch and texture, wich makes me unable to wear certain clothes, accessories and shoes because then it itches and irritates my skin, or at least feel like it does. Crocs are the only comfortable shoes i can wear because they're so comfyyyyyyyyy lol

Had a similar experience. I thought Crocs were goofy until I got a foot injury, now I have 3 different colors and keep eyeballing more. Every other shoe causes stabbing pain.

And then finally see if working boots are better than normal shoes or not.

It seems weird that the very thing people are mad at is what made Amy part of Croc Nation. You would think that, though it's nice for it to fit properly, the cons would have still existed. Did the arch support finally appear? Are all the cons removed. How long does it take for crocs to conform to your feet and get broken in over time? Do you need to shrink them? Does shrinking them always work? Do they shrink every time they get exposed to heat?

[@thedoctorsjenny5143]

Exactly … like what if you went to the beach and got them wet and then they were out in the heat? What you were at a pool party? Suddenly everywhere with water plus heat becomes a weapon

[@nandreiandrei2618]

Being a more science approach, they forgot to talk about how UV is actually what really destroys plastic. So exposure to sun is not the same as drier

[@foogriffy]

i think it may also be a liability for crocs to encourage customers to heat up their plastic shoes

[@rayjohnson67]

no theyll be a limit to how much they shrink

[@Ironattheend]

Amy concludes by addressing that many of those fit concerns still exist and the lawsuits still present totally valid concerns; in essence, answering your questions with a sort of "further research is required to determine..." that one might find in every research paper ever. Just because she presents a positive marketing future for crocs does not negate all the research done in this video. Additionally, answering all those follow-up questions would necessitate further scientific research that would definitely require a pt. 2, as they could not properly address all that within a 15-20 min video. I think we're hearing that she is remaining positive despite all the outrage and deciding to focus on our feelings about that instead of focusing on what she actually does and addresses, as well as the bounds and limitations of one video's worth of research in this format.

Crocs also sell some more typical looking shoes but with that croc material and design. My wife bought me two pairs a few years ago, one pair shaped like typical shoes just with rubber sides and tiny holes in the sides to let your foot breathe, and another that are supposed to be like river shoes, designed to get wet, with flat-ish bottoms and mesh tops. Both have proven super durable to say the least and relatively comfortable otherwise.

I've tried many different ones, both the actual croc brand and knock offs, but I just can't find one that is comfortable and I always return to my clogs. Barefoot for indoors, clogs for my garden or short walks, trainers or hiking boots for anything else, depending on where I'm going and what the weather is like.

What I hate about crocs is the material, not bc of it shrinking or anything, but bc it's too grippy, like, whenever I move my foot even just a little, my skin is pulled, or my socks get pulled and it has the same effect, and wearing them without socks gave me blisters. As an example, it's kinda like how if you've ever been on a slide, and you skin is getting dragged as you go down, but it's on your foot instead

Amy, I'm willing to bet the instability with the Crocs comes from the fact that you're so used to more conical shoes; the wider toe box of Crocs is closer to a barefoot shoe, where your toes splay out more to balance you. I'd love to see a Style Theory debating the claims and merits of barefoot style shoes. (I say hesitantly as a barefoot believer.)

Another thing is they became very popular in the medical field until the hospitals realized that these are open toe shoes which are not allowed in hospitals, so at many hospitals they have been banned. There are closed toe crocs you can wear that are basically just rubber nurses clogs.

Sports mode!

[@BluePancakes-i4q]

Another thing that could have been a factor is the difference in ankle strength. You use a lot more muscles in your feet when you’re shoes that don’t support you such as crocs or barefoot shoes. In your typical tennis shoes your muscles have a chance to relax more so if you’re not used to wearing shoes with less support than your ankles and muscles in the bottoms of your feet are likely a lot less strong than someone else’s was used to the shoe.

[@sweegaming8872]

Next up I'd love to see: "DOES black actually absorb heat?" I've always wondered cause I learned that light doesn't travel through black but the light ABSORBS into it and thus I've said that in the Summer it absorbs heat and in the winter black absorbs YOUR heat.

[@sylviastone7951]

Nighthawkinlight has a few videos on this, go check him out!

[@Psilomuscimol]

I don't think you are going to notice any heat loss wearing black in the winter. Color doesn't matter as much as material anyway. I have a long sleeve shouldered weird black and red shirt that is thick and soft and I wore it in the florida sun the other day. The fabric wasn't even hot to the touch

[@Psilomuscimol]

I think it's rayon idk

[@Zela_Night]

Black doesn't absorb heat, it absorbs light and heats up as a result. So black will make you hotter in summer, but help you keep (slightly) warmer in winter. (Not much sunlight to absorb in winter).
