Shoes Maryosep! Your Crocs shoes could cost you your feet!
I was never a fan of Crocs shoes. I can understand how Crocs shoes lovers say these are the most comfortable shoes on Earth, but its clunky look and unconventional color scheme never appealed to me. Believe it or not, comfort may only be Important Factor #2 in influencing most people’s decisions for purchasing footwear; Important Factor #1 is always Aesthetic (Appearance), because unless a pair of shoes appeals to a person on the level of fashion or aesthetics, they won’t even bother picking it up to find out whether or not it is comfortable.
I like footwear, but I don’t have a pair of Crocs shoes (or Havaianas, for that matter). My two favorite discussion pieces are a pair of Topless Sandals and two pairs of Bradford shoes for short Philippine men that can make me taller by up to four inches.
Now, wearing Crocs shoes can actually be dangerous. Reports that Crocs shoes snag on escalator grills, resulting in toe and foot injuries, are becoming more frequent. 39 Japanese and over two dozen Americans. With Crocs shoes available in more than 40 countries, there is a great possibility more people stand to get injured, especially younger children (for whom Crocs shoes are now available in sizes as small as 4). At least one hospital has banned its doctors from wearing Crocs on the job; reactions have been mixed. This website compiles escalator accidents involving Crocs shoes.
My son, Johann, had a Crocs related accident in Glorietta 2 months ago. I wanted to document what happened but the security guards are quick to hide the decapitated croc — must be an SOP.
Problem is, my son loves his crocs. No choice but get a new pair.
That’s horrific! You should’ve done something!
Every time I see a pair of Crocs in stores I always think, “What’s the point??” Haha. I also don’t see why it’s such a hit and why it has to cost so much. Crocs never appealed to me too. Havaianas pwede pa eh. Kaso mahal din, ahehehe.
Crocs were actually designed originally to be gardening shoes because they are easy to rinse off and don’t get ruined by dirt and mud. They’re great for kids in the summer when they are playing outside, at the beach or anywhere the kids are likely to get their shoes very dirty. Crocs are the equivalent of leg warmers in the 80’s…a very unattractive trend that people who follow will be very embarrassed over in another 10 years.
I do agree that there are some safety issues with wearing crocs and therefore should be regulated.
I think any hospitals have their own set of uniform policy and i wouldn’t think that the crocs is something that’s acceptable. But unfortunately this does get missed at times.
I must agree, it doesn’t look appealing but some people have their taste on such. I do see this crocs here in UK but not a lot.
yea. those Crocs sandals are so trying to get into the shoe fashion trends..but its one of the most unforgivable inventions around these days.. the material, design,comfort, and the fact that it just cant go with any get-up are enough reasons why it is so unfashionable, not to mention is is already a style newly-injected but must be taken out already.
I’ve seen some people wearing those platypus-resembling shoes, and i want to tell them that there are better sandals around.
Crocs have better sandals than those close-toed, plastic stuffs.
btw, i also go to victory church..in u-belt
