    Hi,

    Just a quick simple one, is it acceptable for men to wear crocs or are they for women only?

    Cheers,

    Mick

    Women-only.

    I live in the US, and both wear it here.

    IMO, they aren't right for anybody.

    this person speaks the truth, you can kind of see when people say i only wear dubes/uggs/*insert other shoes here* because they are comfortable but with crocs they are just too damn ugly and i don't find rubber terribly comfortable either.

    Thanks but are they for women only?

    Crocs have both men and women styles, so they cater for both.

    Crocs look acceptable children. End of. Get a nice pair of Merrel sandals instead or something.

    Personally I don't think Crocs are all that bad, I have a pair (I am female) but to be honest I would only wear them out walking or around the house, I mean I wouldn't wear them anywhere nice. To be honest, I have actually stopped wearing them because they are actually not all that comfortable. I thought they were great at first, but they have really started rubbing the top of my feet.

    They are available for men in fairly muted colours (navy, black, khaki etc). I am not a big fan of them on men personally, but if you like them, go for it, it's not as if people are going to point and laugh in the streets. Just be wary that they are not as comfy as people make out, they are good for the beach/pool on holiday though as you can get them wet without destroying them.

    Ah, be nice... (unless he wears them with socks in which case point and laugh away!) :rolleyes:

    crocs should only be worn by men under the age of 10. I know a guy who is 40 and wears them and he looks ridiculous.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 744 ✭✭✭leesmom


    women only and even then i think they are disgusting:eek:

    Yeah was just going to say..Was in America for all of last summer and worked in a private beach club and everybody there (men, women and children) wore them.

    Disgusting looking things IMO.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,909 ✭✭✭europerson


    Crocs are awful on anyone.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 41,021 ✭✭✭✭Xavi6


    They're clearly for both men and women considering styles are made for both sexes.

    Everybody wears them over here (well except me, barefoot in summer ftw!). Missus has a pair for goin to the beach and that and they're comfy as fuck.

    If you like them, wear them. If you don't, then don't.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,993 ✭✭✭_Whimsical_


    Hector Ó hEochagáin is always in a bright red pair of crocs . They're actually very nice on him but then he's not the average man...thankfully.

    The only people who look nice wearing them are kids, women look silly and men wearing them look like complete ejjitts.
