Look what I bought for me

We took some old tyres to a farmer’s place yesterday. As we already had the trailer with we called into the hardware store and picked up a bag of sheep pellets and a bale of oaten hay for Harry and Solomon, our new sheep. I was going to buy them new collars but at over $25 each, I decided I don’t love them that much yet. I have some old belts at home that will be just as effective. However, I did lash out and bought myself these pretty croc lookalikes. My black ones are very ugly and the soles are almost worn through so I’ll keep them for outside and use my nice new ones inside. To give them their due, the black ones have lasted for a number of years. Have you worn these? If so, what's your opinion of them? Do you find them comfortable?

Uhm... two things... You wear shoes in the house? Pretty and I have house shoes but haven't bothered to wear them in years. It's easier/more comfortable to go bare foot. And I'm sure the black crocs are ugly and were when you bought them. As for the new ones... maybe the less I say the better?

I know many people go barefoot in the house but the floor always feels dusty to me even if I'm just washed it so I prefer shoes. I'm sorry you don't like my new ones.

@JudyEv All our floors are carpeted. (Yes, even the kitchen and bathroom. We thought that was so weird when we moved in here... but we're used to it now. ) I don't have to wear them, so it's okay.

@DaddyEvil We are outside such a lot and in and out, in and out, worse than cats. I thought we'd be bringing in too much dirt to have carpet. And it's never that cold that the floors are freezing although tiles in the bathroom and laundry get a bit cold sometimes.

@JudyEv If you make it back to Ireland I'll be able to pick you out of the crowd if you wear those - they're magnificent.

Those are really pretty. I've bought them before but they make my feet sweat so I gave up on them.

My black ones had slots in the top so getting hot feet might become an issue. I've only just got them.

They don't look nearly as awful as the black ones. We bought them when we were overseas and I wanted something to wear in the showers in caravan parks.

I've never worn crocs, but they are very popular here in the US, so they must be comfortable. Your pair look very comfortable.

@JudyEv I didn't catch that. Yes, without slits in them, I'm sure they will get hot in the summer. But at least you can enjoy them in the cooler months.

They are comfortable but now I've realised these don't have slits in the top so they might be a bit hot in summer.

I should have found a pair with slits in the top. I have a feeling these might get quite hot as they are so closed in. But they are certainly comfortable.

Those are very pretty. I was given a pair of purple ones which were useful when just popping outside to feed the chickens and so on. Unfortunately we have a hedge of pyracantha (firethorn) which is very spiky and the thorns are very hard and long-lasting, so after the hedge has been clipped, unless every single bit is picked up the thorns can still be found on the ground two years later. My 'crocs' are now unwearable because the soles are so full of thorns. They don't look that bad because the thorns have gone so far in you can't really see them, but when you put your feet in the pressure of course forces the invisible thorns into your feet! We have got rid of about two thirds of the hedge, and the rest I prune with secateurs, making sure to keep hold of every single piece and carefully dispose of it. It takes much longer of course than just clipping it with shears or even hedge-trimmers, but I don't have to spend time raking up the clippings afterwards and there's no risk of getting the thorns stuck in your shoes or even bare feet - yow!

I know what you're saying. I've had that happen with my crocs and with thongs but each time I've been able to get the thorn out with tweezers. It's only been the odd time it's happened. As you say, you know about it when you put pressure on the shoe. They're very easy to slip on and off.

The crocs may be comfortable but I've never seen a style of these shoes that weren't ugly. Crocs does make some slip on almost tennis shoe type shoes that are decent looking.

@JudyEv I had some in highschool they were flip flops. They were orange and pink or something hideous. I don't know. Lol, I looked at some over the weekend at the sporting goods store because I want something that I can just slip on in order to go get the mail or meet the pizza man or whatever. Buuuuut, they just didn't do it for me. Especially not for the price.

That looks lovely..I like it. I mostly walk around in my home wearing socks. I use crocs with it only if floor is too cold. Else it stays outside my bathroom and I wear it while using restroom. I never take my house crocs outside. And they stay for years as I don't use them much. I change few socks pairs in a day

@JudyEv Since I use them regularly and they are frequently washed, they get holes and I keep buying more. I change two three times a day. It's a part of my diabetic foot care.
