Fuzzy lined Crocs are the official shoe of "fuck it, because 2020"

[TexturedSoyProtein]

I have a confession: these are my new fuzzy lined Crocs that just came in the mail today, and they're very comfy for kicking around the house, which I do often thanks to covid/wfh/general 2020-ness.

Technically I bought these because I'm supposed to wear supportive shoes whenever I walk on my surgically repaired achilles, and I wanted something I could kick on and off like the slippers I usually wear around the house. But I may well have bought them anyway.

This is all my wife's fault. Over the summer she got on the Crocs bandwagon because she wanted some around-the-house shoes that were more supportive than slippers. So she got a pair of salmon/coral colored regular Crocs. She rarely if at all leaves the house in them, but she loved them for kicking around the house. Then as the weather got colder, she liked them so much she decided to get fuzzy lined burgundy/wine colored Crocs. Then after I got permission to walk without my boot, I realized I could use something more slip-on/kick-around than the shoes I'm supposed to wear, so here I am with my navy fuzzy lined Crocs.

They're ugly as sin and a sure sign to the world that you've given up on life, but the world doesn't see me kicking around the house in them.

@texturedsoyprotein I'm sorry, but these are the only answer:

@ttyymmnn No official shoe of "fuck it, because 2020" can be the official shoe of "fuck it, because 2020" unless it has enough support for people with recently surgically repaired achilles tendons.

I love Crocs. I had no idea fuzzy Crocs existed. This is why this forum is so great - because of you weirdos. How would have I learned about these on another car forum?

Those are some prime WFH shoes! I recently gave up even bothering with socks and went full on slippers. My wife told me it was a slippery slope and that I'd probably be in pajama bottoms and a polo soon. I did not deny that.

@pos_camaro I don't even bother with pajamas usually. I will not suffer the tyranny of pants in my own damn house. If I have to go outside, I throw on a pair of shorts, a jacket, and slip on shoes. Yes, even in December.

@pos_camaro I'm big on slippers in general but I tend not to wear them without socks because there's nothing worse than ruining your comfy slippers with stinky foot sweat. Unfortunately they don't have enough support for my jankity leg as it recovers from achilles surgery so these Crocs are like slippers with support.

I been working in pajama bottoms for months. The sweatpants in this pic are a step up from my usual. The nicest pants I've worn the whole time of covid have been jeans and I can probably count the number of times I've worn them on one hand. Basically on the rare occasions we hit up some fall outdoor activities like restaurant patios and a winery. Embrace the PJs. Nobody cares!

Since working from home, my wife bought me a pair of "old man slippers" (my words, not hers). They definitely come in handy.

@texturedsoyprotein just no

[Highlander]

@texturedsoyprotein This is a safe space, but not for confessed crock wearers.

[SmugAardvark]

In my memory, I've never owned a slippers. And I've definitely never owned a pair of Crocs.

But old man me is starting to wake up some mornings and think, "I wish I had something warm and fuzzy to slide onto my feet when I grab my coffee and take the dog out back."

@texturedsoyprotein Full old man mode engaged. My mother in law has created a monster by buying me the slippers on my feet a few years ago. All leather slippers from LL Bean. The only downside is the leather sole means they’re strictly in the house.
That problem was solved by the other pair: leather upper, lined inner, and rubber sole. Yes, I wear them to the store often. The official slipper of I ran out of fucks to give years ago. They’re from LL Bean again, and I got a steal when they were having a clearance blow-out at a local Bean store and the only size that was left was 14. Less than $15 out the door baby!!
The only issue as you can see is I can’t keep the damn things tied. Maybe I’ll break down and superglue them into pretty knots.
Not pictures: my fuzzy reindeer slippers. I got unreasonably excited when I actually found a novelty slipper in a size many describe as “as big as the box normal shoes come in.”
They’re warm, but that’s all I can say for them.

Crocs are awesome, and I don't care who says otherwise.

A photo of me wearing crocs is on Superstreet's website. It's glorious.

That reminds me, I should get a fuzzy pair.

@kiltedpadre A dab of hot glue solves the lace issue.

Fuzzy crocs would be perfect for my frequent cabin trips. Thanks!

Ooh, and the only pair in the right size on their website was the color that caught my eye first. Sweet!

Hard no. No excuse for those shoes. Maybe you can get away with them because of your injury, but that's it. Those shoes have made me very sad.

Good Crocs story: my uncle is like 82 though he acts like he's about 25. He was an early Crocs adopter after years of Birkenstock wearing. At any rate, he was at the hospital for chemotherapy (full recovery, he never even told anyone he had cancer) and as he walked to the desk to check in, he slipped and fell because of his worn out Crocs. On his way out of the appointment he slipped and fell again. He still wears the Crocs.

Be safe.

@texturedsoyprotein Why do they still have holes I wonder?

I've got a pair of Schawos (majorly expensive, hand-made-by-sophisticated-European-craftsmen or something like that) that have lasted 12 years of shuffling around the house and still going strong. Seriously impressed.

[AdverseMartyr]

@vincentmalamute you could take quick wander through a Costco where they are placed to assault your eyes if you so much as glance towards the middle section of the store.

[foghat1981]

I wear crocs in the summer for similar reasons (always get a little flare up in my heel if I'm cruising around our hardwood floors for too long in barefeet). I picked up some clearance lime green crocs for $20 and they're great. Indoor only. I do have some outside ones for quick trips and/or to the pool/beach. Those are a more "mature" gray

Fuzzy crocs may be a nice upgrade for the winter! My MIL always wants to get me a non-gift card Christmas gift, so this might be a winner!

edit: the ones I wear are the same green color as your picture. make a statement

Uhhhh these are navy blue...

[MidEngine]

I haven't worn socks or pants this year. I often wear slippers to run errands, plaid shirt with a completely different plaid shorts. I thought it was important to share this info, it's bound to make others feel so much better about their appearance.
