Not genuine Crocs no, but I did buy a pair of ultra cheap similarly styled shoes for traipsing about when camping in Madagascar.

Cut down old wellies are my usual quick schlep outdoors footwear. Oversized too so I can wear them with neoprene footed waders.

One day peasant chic will be a thing.

we went on a university visit with 'MiniTaff' a few months ago and I was amazed at the number of youth that were wandering around campus on a saturday afternoon wearing crocs and socks :lol:

I have a pair of old Vans trainers that I've trodden the backs down on - they are my perfect garden shoes :thumbup:

I've literally just got back from visiting another campsite and there were several tour operators staff wearing them and saying how much they like them.

For me though. I see Crocs like I see football team shirts. I just cannot take an adult seriously if they dress like that in public !?

Same for me. Boots unless I'm in the shower or bed.

Still got tread on them! :thumbup: (Mine haven't and they're lethal on a damp patio or decking :o ).

2.. Locate the drawing pins.

I'm not sure the ironing is even the silliest part ;)

I’m not interested in fashion.

Yes, I’ve worn crocs when working at hospitals. They’re very comfortable for long shifts…and easy to clean.

I have a pair of knock off crocs (even more of a crime?) that sit at the back door that I use for gardening.

Both use cases for practicality 😀

Ties are a bit :eh: anyway. (I used to have quite a collection - I now have 4. Nice one for matchings and hatchings, black one for despatchings and 2 black bow ties, one on elastic and one 'proper' one....in case I get a job as a bouncer or concierge. :lol: ).

I quite like wearing a suit, shirt and tie etc when the need arises actually, but it seldom does :lol:

Might join the cool middle aged middle managing mid level types and wear a blazer and jeans :thumbup:
