I have a pair of MBTs ...

Once you get used to them, it's kind of impossible to go back to wearing 'normal' shoes ...

BTW ... it's taken me about 10 minutes to post this ... I keep getting that sodding 'network timeout' message again ...

OK...but they do other styles that aren't completely awful;
scutes
No toe bits...

Hope this is not a daft question.

What are MBTs ?

CindsMember 10 yearsMemoriam

It's the shock of MJs death making you think these crazy thoughts

Don't do it Mo

SazBombMember

oh Sarum, how are you finding your crocs? I've had mine on a couple of times now, and they're quite comfy. The toe post thing rubbed a little, but there was no blisters or blood - flip flop success by my standards

They are specially-designed physiological shoes designed to improve posture etc. ...

I've only just realised what Crocs are

All this time I've thought you lot were bangin on about leather crocodile shoes that men wear with suits and I was thinking 'why the frig does Mo want a pair of them'

LeccyMember

Oh no Karma, you made me think of that Jimmy Nail song now

Mine are great...I've been wearing them to work while it's been so hot (I've even started a mini-trend; four other girls have some now

)
I didn't have any probelem with the toepost, but I've worn flipflops a lot, so I probably have callouses there. I did have to stretch the top bit a little - I have high arches, and they were a bit tight - but they're like carpet slippers now...

Crocs are the world's comfiest shoes. I've got several pairs (mostly snides, not real Crocs)

Crocodile shoes...that reminds me of a joke....

A blonde was on holiday in Florida.
She wanted desperately to take home a pair of genuine crocodile shoes, but was very reluctant to pay the high prices the local vendors were asking for the highly prized shoes.

After becoming very frustrated with the "no haggle on prices" attitude of one of the shop keepers, the blonde shouted, "Well then, maybe I'll just go out and catch my own crocodile, so I can get a pair of shoes at a decent price!"

The shopkeeper said with a sly, knowing smile, "Little lady, why don't you just go and give it a try".

The blonde turned on her heel and headed out toward the swamps and marshes, determined to catch herself a crocodile.

Later in the day, as the shopkeeper is driving home, he pulls over to the side of the swamp where he spots that same young woman standing waist deep in the murky water, shotgun in hand.

Just then, he spots a huge 15-foot croc swimming rapidly toward her.

With lightning speed, she takes aim, kills the creature and, with a great deal of effort, hauls it onto the slimy swamp bank.
Lying nearby were several more of the dead creatures. The shopkeeper stands on the bank and watches this scenario in amazed silence.

Just then, the blonde heaves and flips the big croc onto its back.

Then, rolling her eyes heavenward and screaming in great frustration, She screams,
"F***ing hell, this one is barefoot, too!"

(Apologies to any blondes reading...)

Hahahahahhaaaaaaaaaaaa!! Love that!

*groan*

Sarum!

jononoMember

a lot of men wear them offshore

jononoMember

I've got MBT's I LOVE them though I do look like i've got 'special' feet in them.

Karma_Member

'special feet'

DarthhoobMember

i cant stadn the look of them, but they meant to be good for people with hypersensitive feeling (like my son) and vertigo...so i may end up buying some...one day

my son doesn't like the look of them either but then he'd rather be barefoot anyway

Sorry...

I'll own up to trying them on....they seemed so light and errrrr pink. Thankfully they are always too huge around the instep.

MoFoMember

No no no....even in this moment of madness I wouldnt consider pink ones - I was thinking an inoffensive khaki-ish colour or something!

fabienneMember

Don't do something you'll regret. Think of your loved ones; think of future generations who will look back and say 'Whyyyyyy?'

Cos they are nasty pig-ugly garish monstrosities.

But bugger me they are comfy.

jononoMember

Though I did try a pair on once and they are very comfortable.

Being a Birkenstock gal myself I'll stick to those though.
