Thread Name: BS: Birkenstock sandals and Folkies
Subject: RE: BS: Birkenstock sandals and Folkies
I think the thing I dislike most about the Crocs, other than the creepy feeling plastic they're made from, is the bits over the toes... I hate having my toes constricted and they play merry hell with my inherited ingrowing toenails which have a habit of growing at strange angles. If I've not trimmed them for a while (and it's like cutting metal with a pair of safety scissors), they catch and rub on the top and side of any shoe I wear, hence my open toed sandals all year round.

Because my foot is fairly broad (or foot shaped), the little toe is always pushed against the side of the shoe, causing discomfort.

If I have to wear posh dress (like at concerts), I wear my black sandals, as my wet weather sandals are greeny/brown.
