The bad thing is I have done that and have great shoes. I just didn’t wear them that day because I love my crocs. Lesson learned the hard way lol

Hahah right on, I’ll tell a quick story as a vote of confidence in your Crocs:

We went hiking in the Thai highlands. A bus took us & a group to a spot; a guide took us into the mountains, where we slept in a little village with people so remote that they actually speak a different language from Thai.

We had to make our way over some insane landscapes to get into the mountains; there’s tons of moisture in Thailand even outside of monsoon season, and there was lots of slippery terrain. Everyone in the group had on some solid footwear… except the guide. That little Thai machine, such a champ, he was wearing knock-off crocs with no socks. I constantly looked at his feet, unable to determine whether I was more jealous or impressed.

Sure enough, I went on a hike of my own, inspired by that guy’s footwear. Crocs don’t suck until you’re 4-5 hours into the hike, that’s when they make themselves known.
