David Hockney just wore yellow Crocs to meet Charles III. And even you can own a pair by Balenciaga for only €895. Me? I love 'em AND hate 'em.

Haha my first thought was John!

Bob said...

I loathe them so much that I had NO idea that strap moved from the front to the back of the heel.

Now I loathe them more, though Country Crocs made me smile.

Did you see where King Charles told the artist David Hockney that he liked his "yellow galoshes"? Queen Elizabeth would have known they were crocs, I bet!

Boud said...

My dentist used to wear crocs. I was always nervous about his falling when he was working on me, since my only acquaintance with them was people recounting the falls they'd taken on steps. I guess falling is not inevitable.

Pixie said...

That first one made me laugh out loud. Thank you.

Travel said...

I have a pair of those someplace. They are comfortable.

Jamie Ghione said...

Love these. The crocsaint one is funny.

I got a pair of crocs for the first time last year. Mine are tie-dye colored.

Marcia LaRue said...

I have been wearing Crocs since 2009 and after my first knee replacement surgery and now ... I can't wear the "regular" shoes I have in my closet!

Mistress Maddie said...

WHAT WHAT WHAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I may have to rethink this relationship....oh....I must go lie down on the fainting chaise. MS Moorecock...bring me my smelling salts...and a fun with bromide..........

Lady M said...

Never worn them - are they comfortable? Do you have a pair? Do they have good arch support?

Liz Hinds said...

Never seen the attraction of crocs i'm afraid.

Marie Smith said...

Our grandkids love crocs. I’ve never owned them…hmmm…

Tundra Bunny said...

Oh oh, the veins popping out on Maddie's forehead are gonna blow...RUN!

Debra She Who Seeks said...

@ Lady M -- No, I don't have a pair and have never worn them, precisely because I need good orthotics in my shoes and always wear my custom ones. But I think Crocs do have a molded arch support in them? I know lots of people swear by how comfy Crocs are. My Rare One has a bright yellow pair but her teen nieces back in the day wouldn't be seen on the street with her if she was wearing them, LOL! They said she looked like Donald Duck in them!

Escalators eat crocs... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F3c8hP09yqg&ab_channel=WISN12News

Debra She Who Seeks said...

@ Mike -- Hey, thanks for the warning!

roentare said...

You really made me laugh so hard on Monday morning!

John Going Gently said...

Love you right back my darling girl xxxx

Ur-spo said...

I have never worn these monstrosities.

Bill Lisleman said...

I've thought about getting a pair for around the house but still have not. Are they a good outdoor slipper? I think they are better than flip-flops.

angela said...

I love mine to quickly slip on and go out into the garden.
But I wouldn’t ever wear them out and about. I’ve seen people do that and I wonder
Do they actually have a mirror that goes down that far to see how they look!
At least they’re colourful I guess

G. B. Miller said...

I never judge anyone who wears crocs. But I do find them to be a good conversation starter.

Debra She Who Seeks said...

@ Bill Lisleman -- As far as I know, Crocs are great to wear outdoors too.

Joanne Noragon said...

My sister's go to footwear. I've never owned a pair.

Crouc a doodle doo.
Coffee is on and stay safe

Pilar said...

I've never had a pair of crocs.

River said...

I never bought a pair of crocs when they were first available here and now all I can find is cheap copies which don't feel the same I've been told.
Love the selection here :)

Kirk said...

If you visit Crystal Lake and see Croc-prints, RUN!

Rain said...

I am on the side of loving Crocs!!! They're so comfy. I love the crocissant!! ☺☺

Martha said...

These are hilarious, especially the last one!

Hena Tayeb said...

Oh hate them so much.

Guillaume said...

Never had any, but love the idea as proto summertime slippers.

baili said...

Oh my thanks for making me familiar to other occupations of shoes

Miss Val's Creations said...

Haha! I never would have thought crocs would have the staying power that they have had over the years!

The Happy Whisk said...

Oh Jason. You so silly. Love the sport mode too.

e said...

Crocs are very handy for a quick trip to the back yard, taking out the trash, watering in the summer. I've had a pair for years and the damned things never wear out. I don't wear them away from home, except for camping trips.
The memes are excellent, as always!

Adam said...

I have never worn Crocs and never will

Richard said...

My brother wears them. They look comfortable on his feet. Because he lives in Chicago, i don't know what shoes in winter time. He wears his crocs with style and panache.

Busy Bee Suz said...

I noticed one of my girls was wearing them recently and I was surprised....of course, she gushed over how comfy they are.
Laughing at the Country Croc.

Richard said...

I couldn't stop thinking about these crocs. So i asked my brother in Chicago, what about winter time? He laughed and said thick wool socks inside my crocs. He said when the thaw comes and everything is slush and mud, he sometimes wears galoshes. We were laughing so hard, i forgot to ask about snowshoes.

Debra She Who Seeks said...

@ Richard -- Your brother sounds like quite a character! Runs in the family, eh? Good stuff!

butt ugly..

Breenlantern said...

I HATE crocs...but I don't have to wear them so to each their own.

These are hilarious, Debra! I love the look on the dachshund's face. I've never had a pair of crocs, and I likely never will. My doctor has me wearing ridiculous light weight hiking sneakers all the time. I finally got rid of the rigid, broken-foot-shoe today, and I'm right back into my hiking sneakers. So glamorous ~ lol! I hope that you are having a fun weekend with your Rare One. Maybe you should get her a new pair of yellow crocs for Christmas!

Rommy said...

Both my LGBTQ+ kids have Crocs. I think my Darling Eldest is developing a John Waters style love of kitschy and slightly disturbing things,
