After purchasing several pair of Crocs I have discovered that I get horrific foot rashes from them, and would like to know whether anyone else has been getting the same reaction.

My Crocs are kept clean and I have always worn the Crocs exclusively with socks, yet each time I wear them, my feet break out in clusters of extremely itchy sub-derma blisters which erupt within 2-3 days. These blisters tend to cluster at points where the shoe rubber is in direct contact with each stockinged foot. I also get nearly the same allergic reaction, only somewhat more extreme, precisely where the metal Crocs logo button rests against my instep.

If I don’t wear the Crocs, I don’t get the reaction; in fact, I have no foot problems whatsoever. If I wear the Crocs for so much as a couple hours, the blister rash comes back, always in identical form.

Anyone else out there having a similar reaction?

My 11 year old daughter had a new pair of crocs the beginning of the summer holidays. She went out to play with her friends on monday morning. I have never herd her scream so loud in all her life she had tripped over taking out the side of her very pretty face and chin, not to mention the hole in her shoulder ,knee and leg. Which today is friday and we are still tending to her wounds. she had to start a new term at school looking like she has been in the boxing ring! Please dont let your child run in these things you would have thought at 11 she would not have tripped like this? So they must be very dangerous for the very young?

crocs are great for work cause they are confy and your feet dont sweat, but thats the only time i wear them. there is a time and a place to wear them. all these ranting and raving about how crocs are stupid is just cause everyone else is jelous that some people dont give a shit what they wear on their feet. get over the croc fad america people are going to do as they please.

Crocs look like something my fat retarded cousin would wear to a family reunion while line-dancing to “Achey Breaky Heart” in his Goldberg t-shirt… Positively nauseating.

my son took a serious fall wearing crocs. we had to take him for xrays and right now one of his eyes is swollen shut. When I was telling the doctor in the ER ward about the incident, he said that he had treated four or five kids in the past two weeks with similiar incidents. Crocs are fine in the backyard, lounging, etc…but really dangerous when kids start running in them.

Eric, I doubt that crocs are gay.

I know many gay men that wouldn’t even touch them.

Find a better (more accurate) adjective and stop belittling entire groups of people.

Crocs on grown men and decidedly GAY. They are cute on kids and women (sometimes). Uber stupid looking on grown men.
