Trying hard to wear out my 2nd pair of Crocs. I've been using them as boat shoes and slippers for about 10 years.
Sometimes I'll even walk the dog in them.
A little loosy goosy for any distance walking but ok for what I use 'em for.

I just do not like the feel of plastic shoes and they seem a little
too loosey goosey. The ones I had may have been too big tho. It just
felt like a twisted ankle, waiting to happen.

Crocs are easy to slip on and off if you just need foot protection
briefly (like for walking across a hot deck or going across a gravel
road). They are also good for landing on the beach because if you get
sand caught in them you can rinse it out quickly. Of course they also
dry very fast because they absorb no moisture. They are my first
choice if I'm going to be in and out of the water a lot but not
walking very far.

That was what I was thinking but I just did not like the clammy feel
from the plastic shoe. It never seemed to feel like it dried.
I am still a Sperry AO fan.
Like Richard says we don't heal as fast but as soon as the bruise goes
away I plan on being back in them. I may try something like the Tevas
Harry was talking about in the mean time.



Sperry. That's what West Marine sells, or used to. I wore them a lot
but noticed my heels would hurt after a while, so I'd go back to sneakers.


I never had a problem until I injured my heel. It was very obvious on
the Xray and the guy said it might be good as new if I can stop
irritating it and let it heal. Like you said, when you get old, that
is a slower process.
I also have trouble just sitting around resting it.
I have a half dozen little "handyman" projects going here. I got all
of the quartz from a 35' bar at the club from the remodel so I am
learning all about refinishing it. I already know about finishing
granite and that was what this was supposed to be ... but it wasn't.

If Wayne needs a chunk, I have a couple of 26x44s with one good side
already and I think I have broken the code about polishing up
anything. This is way softer than granite.
I doubt anyone much farther away could justify shipping.

I also just got 200 more feet of 1.5" manilla rope to wrap another
pole and we will then be laying more of our flag stone in the final
little spot in the new bar..
