snorky Posted July 21, 2008 Share Posted July 21, 2008 As a lurker in SE15 Lidl of late, I notice they have "clogs" - an exact replica of "crocs", but, at about ?2.99 a pair, are a bit cheaper than the ubuiquitous ED footwear of choice for a bit of hectic LL cruising / sport / leisure actionwould ED residents go doe the brand or for the generic ?and why ?

*Bob* Posted July 21, 2008 Share Posted July 21, 2008 I bought some "Krocs" for our boy whilst in France, for 1 Euro.He doesn't know the difference yet, but presumably - once he does - it will be the beginning of a lifetime of resentment.

HonaloochieB Posted July 21, 2008 Share Posted July 21, 2008 Neither. Crocs on men are just wrong. Very wrong. Thet're actually worse than Kickers.Clogs are the favoured footwear of Bryan May. Enough said.What are nice though are Clark's backless versions of their New Yorker wallabees, I've got three pairs, black and brown leather and tan ostritch skin.

shoshntosh Posted July 21, 2008 Share Posted July 21, 2008 i was told by a "footwear specialist" and "expert shoe fitter" (who knew!) that crocs are very bad for little developing feet. apparently if kids wear them often it causes the bones in their feet to splay, orspread. just repeating what i've been told (though some evidence might be my son's feet, which after 1 yrof constant croc wearing are now like fred flintstone's feet... but that might have happened anyway).anyway, i had crocs and i can't say they damaged my feet but they sure didn't do my sex life any favours.my advice? steer clear of both!

HonaloochieB Posted July 21, 2008 Share Posted July 21, 2008 Ah, I see my error now *Bob*, what I did was I looked at the original post but didn't read it.Still my points about both styles of shoe stand, and are always worth hearing.

*Bob* Posted July 21, 2008 Share Posted July 21, 2008 I'd agree on that one. Certainly Crocs, Krocs or indeed clogs should never be worn over a certain age. But if you're still cacking your own pants and not yet aware of it then I think you're safe.

TillieTrotter Posted July 21, 2008 Share Posted July 21, 2008 I'm a fan of clogs. Been told recently that they looked sexy! Although they may have been taking the piss I suppose. I like them therefore I wear them. Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/3793-ed-crocs-or-clogs-lounged/#findComment-119353 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Asset Posted July 21, 2008 Share Posted July 21, 2008 TT - I don't think they mean clogs like Dutch clogs. I think they mean cheap copies of the Croc.

NatashaD Posted July 21, 2008 Share Posted July 21, 2008 I don't know Keef. Do they not realise how dreadful they look? It beggars belief really. I suppose, in a deluded sort of way, these 'Dulwich Dads' think they look cool. They don't.

I am chastising them for wearing yellow crocs WITH the baby sling. And rightly so.HonaloochieB - yes...but what a waste of ?2.99.

*Bob* Posted July 21, 2008 Share Posted July 21, 2008 The yellow Crocs are enough on their own.You could have also picked dressing five years too young, OTT designer spectacles, weekend-stubble-with-a-Blackberry or lack of a chin.But not the sling. With the number one ED-parent-hating-snipe being massive buggies everywhere, if you spot a parent with a sling you should rush over and shake their hand (even if it is like grasping a wet cod) Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/3793-ed-crocs-or-clogs-lounged/#findComment-119460 Share on other sites More sharing options...

jumpinjackflash Posted July 22, 2008 Share Posted July 22, 2008 I used to hate Crocs (although they look great on little kids) until I borrowed my mum?s on a Cornish holiday last year. They were great for walking on pebble beaches and in the sea. They now come in handy when washing the car, dog, and mopping the floor!Agreed, they look daft on fellas!
