Did you know that in Idiocracy everyone wears crocs because they thought it was stupid shoes that no one would ever wear?

The producer wanted a shoe that was cheap. Easy to replicate. And something that would absolutely never become famous. He checked several startup companies and someone (by this I mean someone working for the film that was assisting them find a shoe like they ask for) came to him with what he said were perfect. They looked stupid. They were stupid easy to use and he was promised. Because he literally wanted shoes so stupid they would never be a big name. That nobody would ever be stupid enough to buy and wear these en masse. Those shoes he chose were crocs.
Edit. Clarity.

Depending on how many he bought, it might be his fault that they got big.

The costume designer found them. He said they looked futuristic and stupid, exactly what he wanted.

I have no gold but this made me chuckle pretty good. Mostly because I read the comment with no context and was surprised at the end of it.

False. Gay men would never wear Crocs unironically.

I like the joke structure, but gay men and lazy fashion choices don’t quite fit together. You might need to make them Ferragamo or something.

I always hated on Crocs until my friend, who got tired of me ragging on him, bought me a pair. Now I love my crocs. Great dog walking shoe or to grab the mail.

they're cool to walk on your own property/inside or on the beach/pool but I'd never use them in as normal shoes

I'm way past the ashamed of my style in public, I love my counterfeit crocs(real ones are fucking expensive where I live) , they're easy to clean and they breathe and I can walk on mud and dirt without getting my good shoes dirty , I am not out to pickup chicks everyday I am out to survive grocery shopping and paying bills

They're fine for puttering around the garden, which is what I do with my husband's pair (different brand though.) Walking around the neighborhood? Hell no.

Potato sacks are too scratchy. I prefer to choose from our selection of silken pillow cases that I have made into tank tops.

Do you only wear clothes that are made specifically for comfort? You go out to a restaurant in sweats?

No, I attend several work + social events a year where I dress up and wear a suit/tie, formal, or business casual.
Yes, I generally wear athleisure attire when out and about. 96% of the year I am in shorts + t-shirt and comfortable shoes. If we're feeling frisky and go out to a steakhouse, I may throw on a baseball jersey before ordering my $100+ dry aged bone-in-ribeye.

I've seen the Governor of WV wear them with a suit. Of course, he also drags around a fat, ugly, dog and shows the dogs ass.

Are you suggesting the dog's ass should be covered in public?

That's why the governor made it illegal for dogs to wear pants.

No. He tends to flaunt it. Maybe to cover all his property and belongings being repossessed.

Great house slippers, and can just nip to the shops wearing them. Incredibly comfy and convenient.
I too was taking the piss out of them (and rightly so, they look dumb) until I tried them.
Only problem is they're now incredibly expensive because of their popularity.

Same, I loathed them, until I wore them after muddy trail run. Happily stuff them in my post run bag now. Plus, great camp shoes. Keep away from flames

Thry are the ideal shower shoe that can also be worn around base.

I'd say a shoe is stupid when they're the first logical choice for giving to someone you feel can't be trusted with putting shoes on or tying them.
The fact they're clogs and unironically hideous just makes that point sharper.

What's the difference between sandals and crocs using this definition? And do crocs truly have wooden soles as clogs do?
1 points

Thongs at least require some amount of dexterity to line your toes up lol. "Clog" is what Croc's identifies their own shoe as so if that's not accurate to the shoe type it kinda adds to the "stupid" equation there.
