Why Crocs?

[Tone2TheBone]

...why?

[sunvalleylaw]

I wear 'em alla time up here. More comfortable and stay on better than flip/flops, and walk/jog whatever more securely than in them, easier on/off and more comfortable and cheaper than Tevas, Less slimy/sweaty in the heat than my Vans, in and out of the water with ease, they hose right off, and just so soft and comfortable! That's why. :-)

Because Swedish hockey player Peter Forsberg is part owner of the company? Swedes are crazy about the Crocs! I actually sent 7 pairs to my family in Sweden, since they cost less than half here.

....but they're ugly!

[sunvalleylaw]

Well, my wife is Dutch (though raised here) and her Mom really did wear wooden shoes (As a child, during WWII, to college classes, and pretty much until she emigrated her in the 50s) so by comparison . . . .

Also, for me, there is that practical pacific northwest thing. Comfort and practical concerns weigh more than fashion. Raised with North Face and REI Anoraks, lots of boot like shoes, ski clothes designed more to shed water than to look good, etc. I know you have that aesthetic thing though. LOL!

Steve that is a pretty damn good response to my complaints. For that I will allow you to wear those things around me should we ever get to jam together. LMAO

Cool! Sometimes though, I kick them off and play barefoot, especially for solos. LOL!

Do me a favor though...put them back on when you stomp on your effects pedals. hahahaha

I pass by their HQ on my way to work. Butt ugly shoes though. Definitely a product of the hippies in Boulder.

Is that where they came from? Ahhh that explains it. One of my fishing buddies lives up in Ft. Collins CO and last year he was wearing some as he changed out of his fishing costume and I did a double take on him in the parking lot and laughed while I pointed at his shoes. I said..."what in the heck kind of shoes are those!"...he said..."oh you don't have any of these down where you live?....they're all the rage in Colorado. My daughter has all the colors".

Well, that says something. Probably a quarter to a third of the locals you see walking around here have 'em. It is kind of a mini-Boulder type place here ya know. Most of Idaho thinks we're a bunch of weird hippy freak types.

Hey I forgot to tell you that another fishing buddy/guide moved up there to ID. Where's Nampa?

[WackyT]

Yup. HQ is actually in Niwot. Probably because taxes are way too high in Boulder proper.

Ag town west of Boise just a piece. Boise is about a 2.25 to 2.5 hour drive from here.

Hey thanks for the map I've been meaning to look it up. He wants me to modify his website for his new operation up there and I just didn't know where it was at.

Ok, here they are in fine (or something) form. (I'm the guy on the right with the cute legs and fine shoes standing next to the Peavey)

I can't believe you gigged with these shoes!
Crocs are definitely no Blue Suede Shoes! Man, they are ugly as hell especially in green and pink colour!

Sorry, but absolutely no Rock 'N Roll factor.

[pie_man_25]

/\ I agree, but also they say they are confortable, practical, etc.. and so the pros outweigh the cons, I was born on the belief that one pair of shoes and one pair of boots ( for those snowy Canadian winters) is enough so I don't really have a pair.

Yeah, well, it was my first gig. Better than the white ankle socks elsewhere in the pic though. Next time, maybe I will try my old school navy blue Vans, Dogtown style.
