Mario Batili (sp) wears them. i had a friend bug me until I bought a pair I really like them. the are supper easy on and off shoes. I would live a pair of boot crocks. there are not "pretty" shoes or farm shoes. I can't go barefoot in the house easily du to plantar foot problems. Crock work great inside the house. I am wearing them now.

I need to find some great WARM farm shoes.

I just LOVE my crocs. I bought them on clearance around Thanksgiving last year. They are so comfortable. Ugly, but, comfortable. They are my house shoes since hubby thinks they are embarassing for me to wear in public. lol

I have several pair. They are so comfortable and I'm finally "mature" enough that I pick comfort over appearance!

I have a pair of mammoths, which are lined with a fleece-like fabric and are very warm. I have 2 pair which don't have the holes, so no problems with snow getting in them. I have 2 pair with holes that i wear during the spring, summer, fall, and yeah, even winter. My feet are warmer in my crocs than in any other shoes.

Chicken poop washes right off, as does goat poop. Yes, stickers and thorns do go through them, but I still like my crocs.

White crocs when cleaned with bleach water turn yellowish.
Makes good raw material for bobbers/floaters.
Good thump quality without the trace evidence when your aiming @ an escaping teenager climbing out a cellar window @ night.

I wear them, love them and just gotta have them...
in fact, I just ordered 2 new pair on line!!!

I wear them year round too, I hike in them, garden in them, and wear them around the house...I do have other shoes, but havent worn any thing else for so long, I am not sure where they are...

I also like the bright colors and such, they are fun and bright...

I have a pair of knock-offs but they are too small at size 13, and I've not been able to find any larger. The other thing is they are great for the warm months, but really cold otherwise. I was in some store the other day and saw they had crocs (or knock-offs) with some sort of lining in them, which would probably be a little warmer.

I bought a pair of knockoffs at the local farm co-op last year. I wore them every day in the summer. I didn't wear them anywhere I knew I'd be walking longer than an hour at a time (like going to the flea market or such) because I did that once and I was in misery afterwards. I have my tennis shoes for walking long distances and wear the crocs for everyday activities.

I had the same pair from Payless (knockoff) for about 2.5 years. I wore the soles down to nothing so I got a new pair from Target. They're wearing just fine and I LOVE them. Fantastic house shoe if you have plantar faciitis.

I have one pair of Crocs, the originals, and love them. I did have trouble wearing them barefoot until I discovered that if I wet my feet first, then slipped them on and let my feet air dry I was fine. Told my girlfriend this and she said, "I knew you were weird with all your prepping stuff, now you've confirmed it."

I too, found they eliminated leg pain while working for long shifts on a cement floor. Mine are Mary Janes in Olive Green and I don't care what anyone thinks of them!

Wayne - Do a search on Ebay for XXXL Crocs and you will find crocs in 14-15 size and they even have XXXXL Crocs which are 16/17 crocs.

I have Crocs RX- a step up, as it were, from the beach Croc models.

Last spring and summer, I worked 6-8 hours a day on concrete, unloading heavy carts of nursery product, and they were FABULOUS!!!

The knoch-offs do not fit anything like the real thing- i can wear mine with or without sox, hike in them, etc. and they do not fall of or slide around on your feet.

Highly recommended

That strategy never seems to work around here. But if I take the same item and put it out by the road with a for-sale sign on them, somebody will come along and steal the item.

after seeing the picture of what they are supposed to look like, I just looked at mine (wearing them now). guess mine are knock offs because the logo isn't the same. still comfy though! Mine say "airwalk".
