I have reached the stage where I will wear crocs. Human services helps/my feet hurt/ they are universally accepted.

But I refuse to accept they are a premium piece of footwear. They have become so insanely overpriced for what they are (in general)I have found myself buying knockoff crocs…

Crocs actually make a fantastic pair of kitchen shoes. It's not really a croc anymore since they cover all the holes but it's a really comfy pair of shoes to ride a shift out in.

I don't mind Crocs myself. But I do find this to be a bit on the absurd side. XD

Faux crocs are awesome and comfy!

Yeah I’ve had both and can’t tell the difference. Guess it depends on where you get them.

my family would institutionalize me if i said this; correctly inferring my brain had broken in some catastrophic manner

I have a real pair of Crocs, and my son has a knock off pair. The real Crocs are so much more comfortable than the knocks are, fully worth the price difference.
