Crocs dont make your feet smell. Bad hygiene makes your feet smell
once had a coworker complaining about how the gloves at work make her hands smell gross. she wouldn’t wash her hands or change her gloves enough. your nasty hands make your hands smell gross.
If the gloves are nitrile they sometimes can have a nasty sulfur odor that doesn’t wash off easily.
Never had a sulfur odor from nitrile gloves, and I’ve used them exclusively for my 15 year chemistry career.
It depends on the quality of the glove. Nitrile is vulcanized, and if the sulfur compounds aren’t sufficiently removed afterwards, the gloves stink. I’ve tested several different gloves from different manufacturers via FTIR (trying to choose one for cleanroom use), you almost always see some amount of sulfate in the extractable residue. Some you can tell are shit just by the smell when you open the bagging.
Analytical chemist for 17 years :)
My lab/department always uses Kimberly Clark, they’ve never caused a sulfur issue for us, though I admit I’ve never done FTIR or IMS on them, so maybe they do give off minute amounts.
11 years in analytical chemistry myself.

I’m not super familiar with other glove materials, they may have similar issues.
i’ll just say that i used the same gloves and my hands didn’t smell
Not washing your hands or changing your gloves is definitely nasty! Regardless of what the gloves add to the mix…
Because they are super fuckin comfortable
Comfy and I couldn’t give a shit what you think. You should smell less I don’t have the issue.
They are excellent, versatile footwear. Comfortable. Great for stepping out back to grill, to get the mail, heading to a friends pool party, fishing, the beach or anything wet, or running out for the day.
Top tier shoes.
Unfortunately the only thing they can’t do is preserve your dignity. That what the holes are for, so your self-respect can flow out unimpeded
I was this way once. I was gifted a pair and had to wear them for a few days so I didn’t look like a monster in front of my family.
Crocs are so comfortable you don’t rely on your dignity to make it through the day. My smile starts at my feet.
Agree, the shame and embarrassment I felt about trying Crocs disappeared the moment I took my first step in them. I now hate wearing any shoes that are not Crocs.
Mine starts with a pair of Mephisto shoes. 10x the price, 10x the comfort, 20x the durability
I’ll look into those, always trying to upgrade my sole.

Oofos have some exactly that except I find them to have far more comfortable soles.
The are quite expensive though.
I do this. I bought the canvas dock style crocs awhile back and when the canvas gave up I notice the insole was removable. I put these in my Cat work boots and they are the most comfortable workboots I have ever had. Why Crocs doesn’t sell their insoles alone I will never understand. Thats their biggest best part.
Never heard of their canvas dock style.
Just recently I got knock-off Crocs for gardening, they’ve been great, idk what you’re talking about 😀
Croc user for like 12 years here. I don’t have smelly feet. Maybe the trick is to freak out people even more and wear socks with them. 😎
Shoes that are breathable with holes like Crocs and dont retain smell (like with fabric) won’t make your feet smelly. If anything, closed shoes with no holes and no breathing will smell terrible after a work day (like high heeled type womens shoes)
They are handy as watershoes or a quick slip on if you have to nip outside to put out the garbage or check the mail.
They are excellent, versatile footwear. Comfortable. Great for stepping out back to grill, to get the mail, heading to a friends pool party, fishing, the beach or anything wet, or running out for the day.

They’re comfy, cheap, non-absorbent and if you wash them and your feet they’re fine
I bought a pair for when I did long distance hikes.
They are closed toes, and super light. Felt great, at the end of the day, to trade my hiking boots for crocs.
Now they are my around the house shoe.
Crocs are old news. We’re all about those big red boots now!
I love my crocs. Easy to wear, my feet stay cool, and the texture makes me feel like my foot is getting massaged.
They are comfortable god-damn it
I got the Sketchers version I think its basically the same, they have holes in the top, but no holes under. They’re just comfortable, easy, and the strap at the back you can move it to the front so you have more freedom or to the back so you have more support is kinda cool. I also am getting older and don’t care if I look cool or not. function over fashion. have never worn crocs though, they don’t sell them here.
