"Go on an adventure?" Who the fuck is adventuring in crocs?

[–] Maven@lemmy.zip 41 points 9 months ago (2 children)

The strap you can move around on the croc is commonly called the "adventure strap". The title was referencing that.

that's the least useful knowledge i have acquired in a while

Man, Crocs are truly the ugliest footware in existence.

[–] jawa21@lemmy.sdf.org 11 points 9 months ago

They're also relatively cheap and quite durable.

[–] Riven@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Agreed but also aparrently they're extremely comfortable. I went to see if they had any thong type slippers but found non I liked, they're all God awful.

[–] Damage@feddit.it 4 points 9 months ago (1 children)

They're also rubber, with my level of body heat there's no way they'd be comfortable

[–] vala@lemmy.world 1 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Crocs are not made of rubber. It's a proprietary material not it's not rubber.

[–] PerogiBoi@lemmy.ca 1 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Croslite is a proprietary form of EVA foam with some additives

[–] vala@lemmy.world 1 points 6 months ago

That explains why I always shock myself when I wear them.

[–] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 2 points 6 months ago

Fun fact: Mike Judge featured characters wearing Crocs in Idiocracy, when the shoes were still pretty new and unheard of for that very reason. He said something like "only idiots would choose to wear these ugly things. They're never gonna take off."

Glad I could help!

Ditto. I feel like the "croc community" would be a gold mine of useless information, actually.

[–] Empricorn@feddit.nl 5 points 9 months ago

I don't believe you.

[–] lugal@lemmy.ml 13 points 9 months ago

Everything is an adventure in crocs

[–] Semi_Hemi_Demigod@lemmy.world 17 points 9 months ago (1 children)

The chains to the shoes is a smart idea. Keeps them from getting lost in the mosh pit

[–] SidewaysHighways@lemmy.world 10 points 9 months ago

That would be the comfiest mosh

[–] Rocketpoweredgorilla@lemmy.ca 15 points 9 months ago (2 children)

Wouldn't you have to walk like you shit yourself to avoid scratching the hell out of your ankles with those?

[–] FruitLips@lemmy.ml 4 points 9 months ago

Not when I'm their loyal/jacked steed.

[–] PyroNeurosis@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 points 9 months ago (2 children)

Wht did he hike the one pant leg?

[–] Omgpwnies@lemmy.world 13 points 9 months ago

With the chain attached, I am imagining he is desperately trying to keep it from hiking itself up further

[–] VulKendov@reddthat.com 5 points 9 months ago

It's called punk rock, you wouldn't understand.

[–] MrJameGumb@lemmy.world 4 points 9 months ago (1 children)

This seems like the most un-punk thing I've ever seen somehow lol

[–] Xaphanos@lemmy.world 35 points 9 months ago (2 children)

Punk is all about not giving a fuck what anyone else thinks. Even other punks. I respect this punk.

[–] Lucidlethargy@sh.itjust.works 1 points 9 months ago

If this were true, punks would have a very different attire... I respect the sentiment here, though.

[–] CanadaPlus@lemmy.sdf.org 1 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

Every subculture that says that is full of shit, no exception. If you're really not conforming you don't have a subculture, you're just one crazy person wearing ziplock bags and carrying a banana for no reason.

[–] Illogicalbit@lemmy.world 3 points 9 months ago

… for pretzels.

[–] blandfordforever@lemm.ee 2 points 9 months ago (1 children)

I would be stabbing myself in the feet and legs all the time with those.

[–] Lucidlethargy@sh.itjust.works 1 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

That's the correct response to giving up on life, and wearing crocs.

[–] don@lemm.ee 2 points 9 months ago

They flipped those bad mamma jammas into combat mode

[–] ScrambledLogic@sh.itjust.works 2 points 9 months ago

Hmm, Punk Crocs...
