Furry Clogs???

[Eagle]

I'm seeing these things everywhere lately from upscale stores to discount marts to catalogs. Seems counterproductive to me, but I'm always open to suggestions. Anybody using these things?

I have a pair like that. They make fantastic dog chew toys...

Oh no honey, the dog got those slippers you bought me...good ur uh bad doggie....:biggrin:

[Eagle]

Yeah, this is about what I expected. What's the point of a fur lined sandal???



Bah!

As to Crocs I actually do own a pair for walking back and forth from the car to the gym, on the pool deck etc. They actually work pretty well for that.

Not that I'm disagreeing with you because your mug shot frightens me, and I don't get the custom title but you're obviously plugged in to higher powers if you've got one.

[RichGem]

crocs and furry clogs (and non furry clogs).... well, let's just say that I can't believe that we don't have a vomit emoticon.

Fleece lined slippers have been around forever. They are supposed to be really good at keeping your feet warm.

And here I sit in my bare feet.

It doesn't get cold enough in this part of Texas for fur-lined anything.

Those Merrells that you posted are pretty comfortable. I worked at a shoe outfitter for several years that carried them, and they always sold well in the winter time. With those in particular, keep in mind you may need to go up a half-size from your regular street-shoe size because of the volume the fur takes up.

Haflinger also makes a pretty decent wool clog with a cork footbed that fits similarly to a birkenstock.

As much as I despise UGG shoes, I have to admit their success has given them the ability to design better quality shoes as of late. Here's an example:

Although if you really want some comfortable foot snugglies, you simply can't beat Cole Haan's Zermatt mule. They are incredibly comfortable, and sharp too:

I saw those clogs in a Lands End catalog. They have the matching purse, too. :rolleyes1

Fur-lined too, I imagine? :tongue:

Actually Croc's might be one of the greatest things a military man or woman can deploy with. You always want a good shower shoe since so many people use the same showers. With Crocs there’s no need to change into shower shoes when you get to the showers you can simply walk there in the Crocs. They are cushioned enough to walk over heavy gravel and stay on your feet well enough that you could run should there ever be the need.

I love my crocs in the summer they are my every day all day shoe throw them on to go to the store or what ever

[professorchaos]

Never!

[citizensoldierny]

They are definitely every bit as cool as socks and sandals:rolleyes:

[Confuzius]

I assume those are meant as slippers... No thanks.

I'm all about the slipper socks.

For my money, I'll take something made in a nation with a developed economy. USA will do. Genuine moccasin construction, full-grain leather, and the option to bolt on a camp sole if you feel the need to walk around town in 'em is just icing on the cake.

This is the first reasonable justification I've seen for those nightmares.

Also a good use for them: true patriots don't wear crocs, they send them to the men and women in the armed forces.


Thanks! Trust me; I think they are hideously ugly stupid looking shoes.

My wife actually bought them for us when we moved to Japan. We don't wear shoes in our home out of respect for both the local custom and our landlord. She bought the Croc's so we could drop our shoes at the front door and slip them on around the house (and they were never worn outside the home). I wasn't downrange a week when it dawned on me that they would be the perfect shower shoe.

Now, my wife will have to buy me another pair of the ugly things for use in the home when I return.

[Sam]

Ill be a disssenter. I have two pair of UGGS.

One is a clunkier shoe, brown with the fur lining. Great for days you want to just slip into shoes and go. Snow on the ground, no problem. No socks, no problem. It is the full shoe version of the Miramar, shown here: http://www.uggaustralia.com/ProductsList.aspx?gID=m&categoryID=277


The other pair is a pair of house shoes, the Ascot, shown here: http://www.uggaustralia.com/ProductsList.aspx?gID=m&categoryID=170&page=1 The Ascot is good for walking out to get the paper, keeping the feet warm around the house, or running out at 7:00 a.m. on Saturday to grab donuts or Chik-Filet for the family. Ive even worn them to dinner with khakis.

My wife bought me a pair of clogs once. They are in brand new condition, many years later, at the cottage. They keep falling off and I hate that. :mad:

[Giant]

I think I just threw up a little bit in my mouth.

[SRock]

+1 LMAO :lol::lol:

I think they make killer shower shoes and aren't too bad to wear around the house where nobody can/will see me, but I'd never even remotely consider wearing a pair in public!

[Eagle]

Just got my NFL holiday catalog in the mail. They're selling lined Crocs w/ a sock type insert of your favorite team. See, even Crocs are going the furry route!

$45. No thanks.

I'm not crazy about the fuzzy clogs because they get too hot and my feet sweat, but regular clogs with socks are nice.

Haflinger makes wonderful boiled wool clogs. Dansko makes comfortable clogs for men and women; the professional series is popular with nurses.

[Spacegeezer]

Here's another "Made In USA" furry clog with a bit of classic appeal:

http://cdni.llbean.com/is/image/wim/251178_2764_41?wid=330&hei=295

perhaps more classic (certainly cheaper) without the fur:

http://cdni.llbean.com/is/image/wim/175061_1914_41?wid=330&hei=295





As an interesting alternative for comfy, slip-on summer shoes, I recommend considering a good slipper.

It worked for Bobby:

The best part is that they'll look good with anything from a bathrobe to a tuxedo.

[galopede]

Now these are proper clogs, like they wear down t'mill. No fur here folks...

I just can't get myself to buy into the whole croc phenom thing, let alone fur lined ones. I do however pine for a a pair of astroturf Sanuks...

Duck boots, gaters, and a New England Winter = The Seasonal Holy Trinity :biggrin:

[Spacegeezer]

Ugly is as ugly does. Of course, the moccasin bean boot is the ugliest, but it's also the most likely to appeal to someone looking for a slip-on. The Maine Hunting Shoe has a bit more visual appeal:

Of course, with long pants on, they look the same when in use.

I pictured a hair ball from a sink drain trap when i saw the title of this thread.

[bluepunk18]

The posted pic of this things made me say UGH! I can't imagine why the heck woman or men think those shoes look good. As far as crocs, I wear them camping only, and mostly for the shower. +1 on the mud shoes, its a very New-England thing for sure. Those things are solely *pun intended* responsible for L.L. Bean being in business so long, I think. That, and the fact that every kid had to have one of their giant backpacks...hehe.

The only people that should wear clogs are professional chefs and clog dancers, in my opinion. YMMV, of course.

[Fnord5]

I have worn mine in public, even to class.
That was when I was still with my GF, and didn't care what anyone thought.

Now, they stay in the closet unless I go to the pool.
Mine are the OD green ones.(I was going to stencil a serial number on the sides, and a white star on the top, make them look like a Jeep. :lol:
