Crocs Unisex-Adult Classic All Terrain Clogs - Comfortable Waterproof Slip-On Shoes for Men & Women - Perfect for Outdoor, Beach, Garden, and Casual Wear

When I was younger man in the early 2000's when crocs first became available, I said that I would never wear them because they were so stupid looking. I was 39 then. By the time I was in my 50s I bought my first pair because people kept pounding on the comfort factor. They really were super comfortable but I wouldn't wear them where anyone could see me because I still was self conscious about how goofy they looked. I was a closeted crocs wearer lol Also, as much as Iiked them, they weren't perfect. The tread would wear quickly and get smooth spots that would slip easily on certain surfaces. Now I'm 60. I wear them almost all the time and I don't care who sees them. Lol one of the benefits of getting older is you care a lot less about what people think. Also, today's crocs are better than ever. I get the "outback" and "all terrain" models now. I believe that the outbacks are discontinued and the all terrain is the newer version. They are very similar and both are amazing. The difference between the regular crocs and these were that the tread was made firmer and had a different pattern and much better suited for outdoor use in varying locations. They also have an adjustable velcro heel strap that regular crocs don't have which makes them fit and feel much more secure on your feet. I'm a heavy guy and the stiffer material holds up better and the treads now have rubber inserts in strategic places where the tread formerly was prone to wearing quickly and they really help solve that problem and also make them feel more secure where floors tend to get slick sometimes. They really are as comfortable as people have told you , they are great for lots of situations, like gardening, camping,, boating, (they float) walking your pet, getting the mail, etc. Super easy to clean. You can garden in them and hose off the mud and they are clean and dry the next day. If you haven't tried them you really are missing out on ultimate comfort, silly looking or not! ?
