The movement lines implies they they rotated the strap through their ankle clockwise 🤔

[-] subignition@fedia.io 57 points 2 months ago

It's a little-known fact that guys can noclip when they're horny enough

[-] calabast@lemm.ee 6 points 2 months ago

There's a reason they're called a "crush"

Why is everyone wearing crocs all of a sudden?

[-] Beardsley@lemmy.world 37 points 2 months ago

Mainly so I don't have to put real shoes on to take out the trash tbh.

Strap between toes is the worst feeling ever. No thanks.

Why do you care what people wear on their feet? lol

[-] datavoid@lemmy.ml 13 points 2 months ago

WHAT ARE THOSE?!?

[-] blanketswithsmallpox@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

Slides are literally Crocs, not even metaphorically.

Crocs also last significantly longer than any basic slides I've ever purchased. Including cheapo Amazon's, Walmarts, Adidas, and Nikes.

the more I learn about the minutia of this movie, the more incredible it becomes. what geniuses lmao

[-] Raiderkev@lemmy.world 11 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

I always get a laugh out of why they chose Crocs. For anyone uninformed, see Mike judge quote below:

The wardrobe had to be something that's not around now. It had to be created for a lot of extras, and so you know our wardrobe person was looking for ways to make the budget work. And Crocs were not out in the world yet. They were just a small startup at the time. We shot in 2004, so no one was wearing Crocs. And she showed me these things, and I thought, 'Oh those are great, just stupid plastic shoes. And I said to her, 'But you actually bought these, you can order these. What if by the time the movie comes out, these things are everywhere, and it doesn't look like we're set in the future?' And she said, 'Oh no, that's never going to happen. And sure enough, by the time it comes out two years later, everyone is wearing Crocs. So it already started coming true even faster than we made the movie, really.

Because they are very comfortable

I don't know, but they are the ugliest shoes in existence.

[-] superkret@feddit.org 27 points 2 months ago
[-] conciselyverbose@sh.itjust.works 9 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

Judge away. Five fingers are comfortable as shit.

~~Those look like women's ones on a man's foot though.~~

[-] turbowafflz@lemmy.world 21 points 2 months ago

I am so confused how you are able to tell the gender of the shoes and person from that photo because I can't see anything stereotypically associated with gebnder

[-] Zwiebel@feddit.org 13 points 2 months ago

The back right tile is obv closeted gay you can tell by the way it lays

[-] conciselyverbose@sh.itjust.works 5 points 2 months ago

Couldn't tell you. Just what it looks like to me.

I'll cross it out as a dumb assumption, though.

vibrams just need soft pink buttons on bottom for foot jobs

[-] BuboScandiacus@mander.xyz 4 points 2 months ago

They aren't that ugly

But damn they're uncomfortable

[-] deadbeef79000@lemmy.nz 8 points 2 months ago

They're actually great for wading at the beach.

Near where I live is a shallow (waist deep) bay with a rocky sandy bottom: barefoot not advised. There're great for walking out into the shallows and helping the kids in kayaks or whatever.

Or gardening.

[-] funkajunk@lemm.ee 4 points 2 months ago

Because comfy af

[-] MossyFeathers@pawb.social 16 points 2 months ago

Crocs are kinda magic. Try running with them while wearing socks in """sport mode""". In my experience it actually makes you run faster because the foam is fairly springy. I can run fast enough that I can't keep up with my feet and risk tripping.

[-] WeirdGoesPro@lemmy.dbzer0.com 27 points 2 months ago

It is clearly the raw croc power that makes you trip…certainly not because you’re running in a slip on sandal.

the number of people openly admitting to wear Crocs in here is really concerning.

[-] colderr@lemmy.world 5 points 2 months ago

Crocs are top-tier shoes to wear. You cannot change my mind.

[-] pyre@lemmy.world 8 points 2 months ago

i don't think anything can. you're too far gone!

[-] sirico@feddit.uk 4 points 2 months ago

Search your feelings, you know it to be true

[-] lolcatnip@reddthat.com 3 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

I thought that for a long time. Then I finally gave in and got some. They're fantastic.

Crocs are lowkey the number one shoes of athletes. The minute any kid finishes any game with cleats, they kick them off and roll with the crocs.

[-] TheReturnOfPEB@reddthat.com 4 points 2 months ago

Could a bear rock these crocs ?

[-] 9point6@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago

Crocs are obsolete

Slides won guys, not sure who still needs to hear this

[-] DJDarren@thelemmy.club 28 points 2 months ago

Slides are dog shit. Try running after the ice cream van in slides and you ain’t getting a cone. Run after him in crocs and you still ain’t getting a cone because you’ll be drowning in pussy instead.

[-] CluckN@lemmy.world 10 points 2 months ago

Pshh Crocs has a net worth of 8 billion. Slides don’t even have a Lightning McQueen variant available.

Imagine something kinda like crocs without the toe, I guess

If you Google "slides" you'll see loads of examples

[-] Klear@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago

I still don't understand what it is. A powerpoint presentation would help.

[-] gencha@lemm.ee 3 points 2 months ago

Google results are tailored to the user. This is almost never good advice
