Brush hog accident(s)

   / Brush hog accident(s) #163  
I've been wearing them for at least a decade now, and they're great. I made fun of them for years, and I still don't butter my Crocs, but they're just so damn convenient. Like an all-terrain slipper.

Also, I wear black socks with my black Crocs, and I do it with my head held high. 🤣

Now, I do not wear them when operating a chainsaw, or weed whacker, push mower... but they match the tractor quite well.
I would have to go buy black socks. :D

How good is traction with those?
In summer I used to put on shorts and an old pair of sneakers, then wade the shallows fishing for bass and pickerel. One day I got into the river and floated downstream, casting a fly as I went. My sneakers were killing my feet so I tied them together and set them on the water, thinking they'd float along with me. They didn't. The last time I saw them they were floating around the next bend, and I had to walk back through the woods in my stocking feet, then ride my motorcycle back to camp barefoot.

Okay well - you said they matched the tractor :D

Well, that would still be orange, the avatar is just shadowed.

Admittedly, matched may not have been the best word; it pairs well with the tractor. Like milk with cookies.

When new the traction is really good, they're great water shoes, and they're fairly steady on wet grass. Now, as they age that changes; eventually they'll lose their tread, and when that treat is gone they're bad on slick surfaces. Still fine on dry grass, still fine on the driveway, fine to drive with, but anything wet? Nope. I suppose that could be said for most shoes, though.

They last quite a while though; typically I'll of broken a strap before I run the soles down. These days I just alternate between my Crocs and boots, I haven't worn a traditional shoe in forever.

I'm a little offended that I'm only beginning to worry you... 🤨

He does have a good point though, time to move back on topic. Have you ever witnessed a brush hog accident while wearing Crocs? :D

A pair I had was worn smooth.
Went everywhere in them until...
Walking across a parking lot in the rain and stepped on the painted line.
Talk about groin pull.
I was sore for weeks.
No more Crocs for this camper.

That's why you have to replace them, eventually. 😂
