Why are Crocs SO Popular AGAIN? 

As a nurse in the healthcare industry, they never went out of style for us.

Personal life hack: 1. Keep a pair of formal shoes at work 2. Use crocs as your go to commute shoes 3. Swap them with the formal shoes once you reach the office

I had bad blisters in my foot because I was spending hours on my feet in bad footwear. So I got myself a pair of crocs to wear in the Operation theatre. The best part of it is you can wash the blood off. Would work for serial killers as well I assume.

I remember that wearing Crocs used to get people bullied - this was in the early 10s. They were seen as the "cheap shoe" if your family didn't have enough money to purchase Converse, Vans, Sperrys, or Toms (it was the south). I am glad that the stigma has been erased since then.

As a Gen z middle school teacher, I wear crocs as much as I can lol. The kids love them and sometimes we match. They’re super comfy and a quick no-fuss shoe

I bought a pair in 2010… they held up until 2021. $60 over 11 years is pretty awesome.

I think they are coming back because they are comfortable and last forever. Comfy to wear at home and hold up well enough to take them to run errands and such. I'd like to add that after crocs first explosion in popularity they had a problem selling shoes for a few years because everyone still had their first pair cause they last so long. Making a product so good that it hurts you on the backend is something almost no one does anymore. Honestly I want to buy another pair in a different color but I can't justify it because even after a year and a half mine are still almost new.

Absolutely insane that you uploaded this now. At 31 years of age and refusing to ever own crocs since I first saw them, I got my first pair yesterday 🤣🤣😭😭

Limited edition drops of any products is my biggest issue with the fashion industry. Like you said how it encourages people to collect them. Like 30 pairs of crocs… 30 pairs of shoes in general seems unbelievable to me. So sad that it’s so encouraged in not only fashion but really any consumer production industry :(

As someone who worked in massive kitchen and restaurants, I have seen Croc nightmares. We did not allow them in our kitchens because hot oil spills happen from time to time.

I wore crocs all throughout elementary school due to my sensory issues and the fact that we didn’t have much money. We used to be able to buy them from Walgreens back then lol. I was made fun of and bullied for wearing them, but now they’re super popular. You just can’t win with trends nowadays it’s not fair 🤦‍♀️ Now I’m in highschool and I just wear what I like regardless of whether or not it’s “trending” or if people like it. You all should do the same ❤ and I will CONTINUE wearing my crocs when they go out of style again 😂

Not gonna lie, I disliked Crocs back in the early 2000s but now I have a pair I use as house slippers 😅 Unlike regular slippers which I usually wear down in the heel in 3 months, they are still going strong and I've found some flower jibbitz that make them look cuter. Most importantly, I have not stubbed my toe ever since I got them 😂

I was a fan of wearing them outside as a kid, but after I became a teen, Crocs had a single purpose which they fulfilled perfectly for me: they were literally perfect for going to the beach, since they're water proof, comfortable, indistructible, have good enough of a grip so I could go on hikes with them and after I was done, washing them was trivial. It's kinda funny how they returned to their original seafaring roots for me, but anyway, very much recommend it for anyone going to the beach

Don't mind me just intracting for the algorithm 😁

I have my Crocs from 2006 when I was like 8. The best part is they still fit and I’ve revived them since the pandemic. Thanking my mom for thinking ahead and getting me 2 sizes too big 😂

Honestly credit to them for the comeback coz yeah I'm only 30 and when I was a kid these shoes were absolutely hated 😂, then they went from meme shoe to an unironically useful shoe to have in your closet 😭🙆🏿‍♂️...you described it perfectly, they became an "unfashion fashion statement," even tho people are essentially still participating in a trend

I used to believe Crocs were ugly and I refused to wear them in my teens in the late 2000s. Now I wear them every day and find their "ugliness" charming. They are so comfortable and I even think the platform Crocs can be stylish.

I owned a pair of crocs for 15 years. They were an ideal lifeguard shoe when I worked at the pool, I have worn them in rivers and to slaughter chickens (only washable shoe I owned) and I finally let them go last year because they got caught in a sewer backup flood and I couldn't get the smell out. My kids wear them at daycare. They certainly can be functional shoes.

I truly can't deny it.. crocs "Kadee" flipflops are the only crocs I own and its arch support, grip design, and material quality makes it _eeeasily_ one of my favorite and most comfy summer shoes

I got some crocs to see what the hype was about. They’re very comfortable and they never come off in sport mode. Absolutely love them I have no regrets whatsoever

Crocs are awesome. I got a pair 1n 2019 so I could run to the mailbox. They slip on easy and they don't fall off. I then started to wear them on long drives and they were much more comfortable than regular shoes. Now I use them when hiking/camping. They work well as "shower shoes" when camping, and they are a great to change-out for stream crossing when hiking. They are so light you don't feel like you are carrying an extra pair of shoes. My 2019 shoes still have a lot of life in them. They are ugly, but super practical and amazingly durable.

So they are like: "Be part of our Recycling program! We only accept shoes in a good state because this is actually a Reuse program, but we are calling it Recycling to be trendy =D" Better than nothing, honestly. But is it that hard to call it a Donation program?

Been married for 40 years. My wife got me some crocs for christmas 25 years ago. I liked the crocs so much I took her on a trip to China. Im going back next week to get her.

Love crocs. Glad they’re coming back and being appreciated for what they are, a comfy easy to wear shoe!

As a child I was in a mall and my crocs got stuck in the escalator, but luckily I was able to pull my foot out; After frantically scrambling to get off, what else do I see but the Crocs store. We bought another pair of course.

I teach middle school. My students talked me into getting some. I am so happy I did. I fought against it for a looooong time because I thought they were so ugly, but they have been a great addition.

9:24 Dude, you have no idea what you're talking about... those are Keen Newports and they're amazing. Im a fan of both Crocs and Keen, have them both and wear them both.

I never thought I’d get crocs. But I have some now as house shoes when it’s too hot for slippers. They’re perfect for that, I can wear them with or without socks, and they are so comfortable.

Cant't imagine working shifts in any other shoe. Got my first adult pair when I started a job at a sushi resturant. I still use them today at the pharmacy I work at. Have been offered midacla sabo shoes a couple of times but they can't compare to the almost fully weightless crocs.

I used to have a job where I'd go through a pair of shoes every 6 months or so. I got a pair of crocs that lasted 5 years for me. My knee pain went away as well. They're like a shoe jeep. Not very good to look at, but got the job done.

I think the big bust had to do, in part because people weren't buying them again, because they lasted for so long, people didn't feel the need to get them again and again, like regular shoes which get replaced alot more often.

I bought my first pair of Crocks maybe around 2005 or 2006 and earlier this year was the first time I realized that I had almost worn out the sole at the ball of my foot. I finally pulled out my Mary-Jane Crocs that I got not too long after the first pair and decided it is now time for that pair to shine. I’m convinced it was a great shoe investment.

Gen Z Gotta stop being used as a synonym for the black community

Crocs are truly hideous.

I work in a Kindegarden and so many children wear Crocs... They do not work in this context. Kids like running around, climing ec. 🙄

They were kind of a thing in the cooking world when I was in cooking school in 2011.

I’m glad that others can experience the joy of crocs. I however would rather chop my own feet off. 🥰

I really loved the video! But at the end I couldn’t stop laughing, because I will never buy a pair of crocs, mainly because of its look😂 no matter how sustainable they are going to be.. I will stick to my Blondstone and Birkenstock

I had a pair of crocs to wear in the garden so I left them outside in the sun and they shrunk by 2 sizes... sooo don't leave your crocs in the sun!

For me, these clogs never went away. I've always hated wearing socks and shoes, preferring to wear clogs everywhere. I don't use "genuine" Crocs, too expensive. They are mainly used to keep my feet clean, otherwise I'd be bare foot.

I’m 27 and up until last week I thought these were so ugly but everyone in my office wears them so I caved. And let me tell you they actually go with most if not all of my outfits lol they are kinda cute to me now

Never really liked the og Crocs till I saw the platform ones. Now I have two platforms that are comfy and cool sometimes I wear them if I am feeling too lazy to wear anything else

1. you don't mention their awful smell. maybe the average consumer doesn't encounter it, but by god was it migraine inducing when we got shipments in. I hated opening the crocs boxes. something that off gassed that horribly i never felt super safe putting my bare skin next to 2. crocs and escalators are a bad bad combo

As someone who trashes shoes in no time and shows them no care or love, I adore Crocs. They're the only shoes that can handle my abuse and still be wearable..

There is a "local" crocs version in my country. If i remember it right, it was called DuraLite. I don't even know which came first but it haa the same concept of a one piece rubber/foam construction but a little more of a sandal version. It is looked down upon by urban high fashion street kids but rural folks always had a pair of them. And like crocs, they are functional and sturdy. In the farm, boots being too heavy and bulky, and slippers being too flimsy, when you get stuck in a mud, getting off on it should be no problem. I think its out of production now, but whenever i go to communities, i still see some pair, although old and beat up, still existing and still has a few life left.

Well I've been using crocs for past 6 years and they are solid but their grip has gone. But I bought a birkenstock after watching last video haha.

Crocs were one of the first barefoot footwear along with wide flip flops.

I love Crocs. I wore them since they came out and always have a couple pairs on the go. I find I wear out the heel after about a year. So they aren't forever shoes for me, but I do that to all my shoes so they are no worse than other options. I can't imagine ever not having at least one pair of Crocs.

They are definitely not indestructible. They last about 9 months if you wear em everyday. They’ll just wear through the bottom.

I can relate to this frustration with the revival of these early 2000's trends so much...

I’ve literally hiked up Japanese mountains and forest trails in crocks and I love them.

Funny about these tings is when you see one brand new, it's cringe. But if you see one worn down, somehow it looks ok.

I bought Crocs after I discovered that my late mother loved wearing them for gardening. I also found that wearing them to walk my dog ensured that if I stepped in dog poo, I could easily wash them.😊

I wear Crocs every day because of foot pain and I go through a pair almost every year because a hole forms in the sole by the ball of my foot Granted I bike and hike in them 7 days a week but I still think of them as disposable after a year of use :/ I would love to see a more durable version which still has the same level of comfort!

Hold on, who would throw away shoes because of LACES!? 🤦‍♂️

I'm 24 this year and I've been wearing crocs for as long as I can remember. I have other footwear but they are so unused it makes them last a very long time. These are literally the best footwear.

Just giving you a heads up, your Shopify link isn't clickable. If you put www in front of the link it will turn into a clickable link. Great video by the way!

I love my crocs! I have plantar fascitis and I find they offer excellent support. Great for yard work, the beach, rainy days and of course camping.

"yes I am old" "crocs came out when I was 8 years old" crocs came out in 2002. You're 28, you're not old

They remind me of those wooden clogging shoes in Europe that are used to dance sort of like tap shoes.

Working with little kids and toddlers, let me tell you how much of a savior those easy to wash / sanitize shoes are during potty training. No more wet shoes in a bag with a now shoeless 2 years olds who had an accident. Rince, spray with desinfectant and voila!

Crocs made a simple 2-strap sandal I really liked. I'm a big walker, and they have three fatal flaws. 1) On wet pavement they're deadly, 2) the tread wears out in less than 500 miles, and 3) they don't sell them anymore. They're a great travel shoe, weigh nothing, and are great for carryon or back-pack travelers. I wish they'd bring those back. No embellishments and all one color, they're good for casual wear. Not performance shoes at all, but handy.

They cost less than $4 for the company to produce and ship, but sell it to consumers for $30-$50. It is a business but damn

Got a pair of crocs gifted to me for my birthday this year and those things are comfy as hell.

I’ll never touch a croc🤷‍♂️ plenty of comfy shoes out there that don’t look ugly asf

I had a pair as a child when my sizes were still changing quickly so i didn't keep my pink crocs for long, but in the last year i bought some bae clogs and i wish i just got a basic pair of crocs rather than the platform ones. i feel like a boss wearing them but i think their comfort is kind of loss with the more stylish ones xD

I love my crocs. Genuinely so comfortable!

I love love my Crocs, first had them years ago when I had my boats and they were great for that. I have a pair of Swiftwater Mesh for doing yard work and have a pair of originals in Batali Orange that I wear everywhere. I used to wear sandals all the time in summer but now when I put my sandals on they feel so uncomfortable.

No warning about the heat will shrunk this shoe! If more people have this problem, Crocs should stop selling! It is a consumer trap!!!!!! Somebody help to get my concern to CROCS! And EVERYONE! It is not fair! Total disappointed!

I bought a pair to wear around the house. The only time I wore them in public was when I had to go to the hospital for a kidney stone. I didn't want to wear anything that I had to bend over to put on and I knew that if I puked on them it wouldn't matter. They are comfortable AF but also ugly AF.

Unpopular opinion....but I hate Crocs visually....AND....I don't find them comfortable! Those little spikes inside the shoe/sandal/clog hurt my feet....my daughter owns 2 pairs(1 black, 1 light blue) and I don't get the hype!

I've been wearing croc everyday for years and climb up several thousand meter mountains in them. Oh, and also done lots of water shoes in them, started wearing them in 2012ish I think, when you would consider them busted I guess. Also only ever had 1 pair at a time(the ones without holes in the side) though the straps eventually wear out and you can't easilly get replacements which is just unnecercerry waste.

I miss some critical info in this video. The health authorities in my country strongly disagree having children wear these all day long. The positive thing that the are sooooo comfy comes with the backdraft that they have a loose fit and lack any support and lack a proper footbed. For adults pretty much the same. Wear them no longer than a few hours a day and do most of the walking wearing shoes that give proper support and have a proper footbed. I own a pair, very happy with them but use them only as garden clogs when doing light garden chores. For the more dangerous jobs I wear all wooden clogs or steel reinforced leather shoes. Protect your feet people! Btw any regular available shoes especially open shoes like crocs are forbidden to wear by staff here. Not safe for falling knifes/glass/plates etc, not enough support and possibly not chemical resistant. Restaurant owners by law have to pay for good shoes for their staff.

I had a friend years ago that called those Keen sandals you showed “war clogs” since you could definitely go to war in those. Cant unforget that

yes, we do repeat things over and over again...specificall you do. You simply parrot someone else's article(s) without actually analysing it. First, by 2010, Crocs wasn't dead, it had turned around already, but crocs basically had flatlined until the covid-19 pandemic. Second, it's funny that in July 2022 you are saying that Crocs is somehow more popular, because the stock has precipitously tanked since Nov 2021, which was basically when everyone had enough of pandemic idiocy. In fact, it has tanked far more precipitously than back in 2008. Some would say that Crocs is tranking again because it is going back into losing and costly ventures like it did pre-2008 crash, especially with the purchase of Hey Dude. Last, you say that Crocs holds a patent on the foam technology, which it doesn't, it holds a trademark of a trademark product. The company who makes the foam is the italian company Finproject (you can see a pair of crocs pictured under Finproject's trademarked name for the crocs' trademark name). Also, crocs are not made of one single material. Crocs uses a combination of closed cell foam made by Finproject and a polyolefin elastomer made by Dow. Dow also makes the eco polyolefin elastomer in the new eco croc version.

One thing you didn't mention is these are fantastic as kids shoes. They are easy to clean, easy to put on (but stay in place), and they come in many colors. They also meet the requirement of many schools to have kids in closed toe shoes. As soon as my son grows out of them, I just buy a pair size up. Most kids in his class wear Crocs everyday.

I wore crocs as a small child because I had really bad bunions growing up. Now as an adult I had corrective surgery, and no longer have bunions. However, the crocs are still incredibly comfortable, and I refuse to give them up even though one of my pairs is very much so worn down, and I need a new one-

The crocs company is also really awesome! After the Marshall Fire that destroyed a lot of Boulder County, they donated tens of thousands of pairs to local schools affected by the fire!

as a doctor myself crocs were very functional since it was created. fashion should be focus more for function than being looking cool yet ain't comfortable

crocs are still ugly

I've been wearing Crocs for over a decade like beards I'm annoyed they're now in fashion I don't wear them for fashion I wear them because they're awesome want to lounge around the house? Crocs! Want to work in the garden? Crocs! Want something comfortable to chuck on to quickly go out to the store? Crocs! They're the Swiss army knife of shoes.

Wow, I'm surprised to hear that Future Proof likes Crocs. I've stayed away from them because I don't want to buy a piece of plastic as shoes. This opened my eyes. Thanks for the video!

Why can't people just wear sneakers and socks? Sandals of any kind are not good for your feet, nor do they properly protect them. I noticed people that wear them have crusty feet. I'm 47 and still have soft feet because I wear shoes AND socks even around the house during the day.

I been wearing them for almost 20yrs. It wasn’t a trend for me. After over 11yrs of military service Crocs we’re a dream for my feet.

I have gotten a pair of Crocs recently at value-vilage for only three dollars and I love them. They where practically unused too. So comfortable and usefully in so many scenarios.

I don’t see the hype. Those bumps on the insole are extremely uncomfortable. Painful, even. Adidas comfort slides cloud foam slip ins are sooooooo comfortable. Like walking in clouds.

My go-to shoe for 12 years. Comfortable, easy on and off, and a variety of colors. I go through one pair each summer dedicated solely to my daily walking routine. Love them since I finally took a friend's advice and just tried a pair.

You can teach style, but you cant teach taste...These shoes are unsightly. Style > Comfort. PERIOD.

Pro tip: Please dont dry Crocs out in the sun! Learned it the hard way and one pair became a half size small than the other lol. Edit: Had about 4 pairs over 10 years and they're a must if you're a swimmer.

When I was growing up outside a small segment of barefoot kids, most kids wore shoes and socks, usually sneakers even in the summer time. Shoes even in the house was real common. Don't know why sandals are such of thing now. My guess is kids just spend too much time inside and never really get acclimated to wearing proper shoes. I see kids outside trying to play in these shoes and I cringe. These shoes also make your feet calloused. Kids and teens used to have tender feet, now they are crusty from wearing these shoes and going barefoot in the house on hard flooring. Crocs and slides are not good for your feet and I think we will be seeing a lot of foot problem in people in a few years. I never let my son wear them. Sandals only around water.

I bought my first pair of crocs 4 years ago and literally only wear other shoes in the winter. I love how comfortable they are, to the point where I don’t even think about them while being worn!

I still think they're ugly, but now that they have different chunky models, here I am ordering 4 pairs at once😂

It’s surprising that Crocs are considered ugly, it’s probably one of the best designs, simple also colorful and most importantly super functional for summer and winter with the fur. for indoors and outdoors. Foam technology is kind of a big deal, Nike still works hard on foam rnd. I think crocs are beautiful! I mean, have you seen what most footwear designs are like?

Crocs are a hit in the medical field. They’re comfortable as fuck. All that moving around during duty hours is relieved by wearing crocs

I bought a pair of croc work shoes - that sounds so weird to say - and they were honestly one of the best professional minded purchases I’ve ever made. They look like your classic Mary Janes, and people are often surprised when I say they are crocs. If it weren’t for the foam-like material and the little crocodile button on the side, people would never believe them. Only complaint - after walking 9 hours around a city in them I had like three blisters on each foot, but arguments can be made that no dress shoe should be worn walking 5mph around a hilly city. (Never gotten a blister while actually wearing them at work, in a retail environment)

I remember these booming in the early 2000s when i was in grade school, everyone was wearing these left right and center, at the beach, at school etc. Even "kelontong" shops were packed with these, but then the late-2000s happened n those same kids now in high school & college, were making fun of them n anyone who wore it. Who woulda thunk 8-10 years later now it's gonna make a comeback

Random fact: Crocs where originally were going to be called ally’s since the croc looked more like an alligator then a crocodile, but I think, correct me if I’m wrong the name ‘allys’ were trademarked so they had to switch it to the name croc

I always thought Crocs were UGLY, but then I needed a "loose fitting" shoe to deal with my attack of GOUT!!! Crocs to the "rescue", I bought a pair and suddenly I could walk again! LOL They are perfect Beach, Pool or Gardening shoes, and are truly very comfortable around the house. I now keep the by my bed as slippers and "morning" shoes!! Go Crocs!!!

They are the most comfortable! I caved and bought a pair a month ago, a beige wedge sandle. Oh the regrets I have for not getting them sooner!

All the plastic waste they create for kids. I am also just helping your algorithm. I think they are ugly. Also you are not old, your younger than my nieces and nephews.
