Crocs

My wife has bad knees and ankles and swears by the Crocs.

I may have to get the pink ones then. If I'm going to tell people I wear Crocs, I might as well go all the way. Couldn't look any more funny than a 6'3" 240 lb. knucklehead trying to learn how to hula hoop in class. Long story. It's been a Monday for the ages.

how about shin splints...i got em in both legs

Too much tennis gave me them.

I know very little about that affliction.

i got them from basketball...it's where the way you run in both tennis and basketball sometimes causes you to change your running style, say if you were to need to stop quickly and you try to do so by having your heel land first rather than the toe in an upwards manner...if it causes a bad habit and you start to run that way regularly then you can develop shin splints which hurt like crazy, but for me it only hurts when i stop playing (with the occasional hurt while im playing)

the team trainers here gave me some half insoles that raise my heel up a little and they worked for a while but i guess my running style hasn't changed from the years of tennis so i'm back to square one

Those badboys are hell on high school wrestlers as well. I know they caused my cousin many a painful night.

i cracked on my buddies for wearin the crocs with holes in them, one night i work em around while we were partying up there, pretty [censored] comfortable, i'll probably end up buying a pair

I have a pair of Herman Survivor boots I bought in Blacksburg when I was at Tech in 1979 . They have scuffs and scratches but are still great boots . The Hermans today are not near the quailty due to new ownership several years ago .

I'm gonna have to remain staying away from the crocs.
