ED - crocs or clogs (Lounged)

[snorky]

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 action

would ED residents go doe the brand or for the generic ?

and why ?

[*Bob*]

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.

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.

I don't think it's too much of an issue for the under-twos.

The most important factor is that "Krocs" are cheap.

[shoshntosh]

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, or

spread. just repeating what i've been told (though some evidence might be my son's feet, which after 1 yr

of 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]

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*]

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.

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.

I thought I made it clear *Bob*, I won't wear the things.

TT - I don't think they mean clogs like Dutch clogs. I think they mean cheap copies of the Croc.

[jimbo1964]

I'm sure either are fine on children. Adults look ridiculous in them.

[Asset]

Personally, I think they are a bit suspect on children anywhere not on the continent - and even then....

[NatashaD]

All the 'Dulwich Dads' clad with a baby in a sling, wearing yellow crocs look ultra revolting.

[NatashaD]

...actually they make me want to puke, the namby pambies that they are. Shame on 'em.

[Keef]

Men are wearing them, seriously? Why?

[NatashaD]

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.

[HonaloochieB]

I guessing the Kickers make their feet sweat in the summer.

[NatashaD]

Incidentally, I bought a ?2.99 pair from Lidl today for my son. He insisted. They look bloody awful on him.

[*Bob*]

Fortunately I've never seen anyone over the aged of 12 wearing them.. yet.

I'm not sure why fellas are to be chastised for wearing a baby sling. That's just bollocks.

Tell him. Repeatedly. Until he takes them out and burns them.

It's kinder in the long run.

*bob* "I'm not sure why fellas are to be chastised for wearing a baby sling. That's just bollocks." I am chastising them for wearing yellow crocs WITH the baby sling. And rightly so.

HonaloochieB - yes...but what a waste of ?2.99.

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)

[Asset]

oh you are mean and judge - mental

[jumpinjackflash]

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!
