Please Don't Wear Crocs to the Gym

on 4/15/2008 | filed in: Personal
Please Don't Wear Crocs to the Gym The other day I was at the gym when a guy walked in sporting bright yellow crocs. Now, I’m not one to criticize people’s gym outfits, but if you’re really out of line, I’m going to have to make fun of you (on here at least). Crocs are stupid and should not be worn in public – especially not the gym!

What would possess someone to strap on a pair of Crocs to go to the gym? Aside from their stupid look, they are definitely not reliable as a gym shoe. They offer little or no support for your ankles.

Crocs should be banned from gyms

Two popular gym rules are “re-rack weights” and “wipe off equipment.” Well I’m adding another one to the top of the list. “Don’t wear Crocs and look like an idiot.”

there terrible on your knees I got Iliotibial band syndrome and have had to see three knee specialists who have linked it to crocks, you see crocks I guse are comfy but offer support in all the wrong places.

I bought a pair after Jay Cutler said on his video that they are the most comfortable thing to wear during cardio. He was right. They are. I wouldn't wear them to the gym though.

Wow, that's crazy... They work for cardio? I would have expected that they'd give blisters. Do you wear socks with them?

You are so right. Crocs should be banned from gyms. I can't believe you saw someone actually wearing them - then again, I'm shocked to see people over the age of 6 wearing them in public.

It's a sick world we live in buffgirl... Where gardening shoes have become a part of people's every day lives.

Ugly, non-conforming, and downright What-the-Heck responses these Crocs get. Surprisingly, the people who made them don't care if they are ugly, non-conforming to public opinion, or if people who wear them get laughed at. As long as people keep buying them, the Crocs owners are sitting at home, probably in their Croc's, chilling away & counting their money.

Its like the South Park Episode where the Underpant Gnomes reveal their money-making formula:

1. Steal Underpants
2. ???????
3. Profit!

Indeed:
1. Make Ugly Shoes
2. ??????
3. Profit!

I'll make one exception: Last summer I spent a weekend at the Jersey Shore and only brought sandals with me since I expected to be able to run barefoot on the beach every day. As it turned out it rained all weekend, so I stopped in at the local Golds and asked if I absolutely, positively had to wear sneakers to work out. The receptionist looked at me as if I was crazy. "Dude, this is the shore," he said. "You can work out barefoot if you want." So I wore my Tevas, and found them surprisingly comfortable, even running on the treadmill. I'll take the Tevas over Crocs any day.
