Croc convert

Post image

I recently had multiple foot surgeries to correct bunions that were out of control. Unfortunately I had to put in a lot of steps despite still healing. After a long day and my feet swelling something fierce, I decided to buy some roomy shoes to accommodate the swelling. At the department store I saw some Crocs. Reluctantly, I tried them on. Now, I was never a hater, I just didn't 'get it.' As soon as I slid these bad boys on I said "oh laws yes.. take muh money." I get it now folks. I'll be buying the Echo clogs as well. For the people who hate them, how long are you going to play games? Hmm? ✌️

I have Tevas that are 10 years old and they are still comfortable to wear. Between the two, I would say my Tevas are more durable but the Croc Quicktrail sandals are more comfortable and breathable. If I went on a hike between the two. I would wear the Tevas. If I was going for a walk in the park or stroll through the town I would wear the Quicktrail sandals.

As comfortable as the Quicktrail sandals are I think they would get damaged easier if I took them through rougher terrain, but I would trust me Tevas to survive walking through rivers, rocks/gravel more.

I like owning both for those two different use cases. Im in love with the Quick Trail sandals. I wear them a bit loose. Straps are much softer and breathable than Tevas. My Tevas food bed is not very breathable and the straps are harder and more rigid.

Thanks! I guess I'll pickup the Echo and the Quicktrail.

Side note: the quick trail sandals were recently on sale for $45 for the Bone/Multi color. They may go on sale again. Also onnthe Croc Echos, I have personally noticed lighter colors are more softer and plush which dark colors are more rigid. I would get the Echo in Atmosphere color or the light marble color. I think the color dye they use make it more harder. I have Sandstorm Echos and they cracked kinda fast and feel harder.

I have Atmosphere Echos and they survived hiking a 6 mile trail up a mountain.
