Not our fault your man card is in jeopardy wearing those things.

I'll bet a dress is more comfortable than pants, so its your next logical step

They sell a professional line of Crocs just for health care workers without holes in them, and in boring colors to boot.

I'd wear a kilt any day of the week. You're going to tell me a caber-tossing kilt-wearer is less a man than you, dentist boy?

In crocks? You bet.

Humans went from wearing very simple clothing to very extravagant clothing.

We're go back and forth... Crocs are at the lowest end of simple/lazy clothing. If you're too damn lazy to tie your shoes, you shouldn't leave the house.

I have crocs, klogs, and birkenstock clogs that look like crocs. I had the Birkenstocks and the Klogs long before the Croc craze. I also had a pair of Quarks which are similar. I am a chef though(see my name!) and I wear them to my job now in the Dr's office because they're sooo comfy and they match my scrubs!

They also fit my wide butt feet.

Other than work I wouldn't wear them I am far to shoe snobbish to do such a thing.

And Snowy is right, I have pairs with holes and without. When I work in restaurants I wear the solid kind. In boring black usually but I do have a nifty yellow pair(in solid) that I wear if I'm feeling sassy!

The kind with holes I have pink, yellow, black, pink with skulls and this brownish color.

Really if they weren't so comfy and skid resistant... I would never wear the things but they are SOOO comfy and when I have to stand on my feet for many hours there's noting I need more.

From what I've read, these are good for wide feet.....

I may have to look into them.

I know a surgeon who had shoes that looked like that (crocs without the holes) years ago. He said they were amazing for surgery. It was very hard for him to find them. I am sure that he would be interested to know that you can get Crocs without the holes now.

Cheap, comfy to stand in for a long time, and bodily fluids and guts wash right off.

crocs are great for wide feet but if you need support in them they suck! which is why you need to go for the ones without holes or get Klogs(maybe its Klogz) or Birkinstocks where you can insert supports. Crocs are much cheaper than the Birks though.
