Truly the most versatile implement of transportation since the very evolution of the foot

On a semi related side note… what’s the best crampons people have been using? For crocs or otherwise :)

Best for just driveway/sidewalk walking and then hiking.

Can't be that bad out, haven't put them in 4WD yet.

I work outdoors and someone walked in to work with the fuzzy crocs with spikes. Completely on brand for them too in the snow

Yesterday everyone in my house except for one person had crocs on. The vast majority of the people in my house yesterday also don’t live here lol. Us Vermonters travel with our crocs apparently.

Damn that might be one of the Vermontiest things I've ever seen.

I go for a walk nightly regardless of weather so I feel qualified to speak!

I order a dozen yaktrax-like sets from Ali Express. They’re like 2 or 3 dollars so that way I don’t worry about them wearing out or falling off in the snow. Unlike spikes, you don’t feel unsteady or uncomfortable when the sidewalk has a clear section. And they do great in black ice or when suddenly there’s ice under the snow.

I also have severalof thesefor different conditions.

And spikes for when it’s all ice.

That is very daring to go out into the treacherous winterscape with your Crocs in Leisure mode even with the spikes 😱

Ohhh! the strap is all wrong! 0_0

You've got to flip that back, put those babys into 4 wheel drive.

Plus; I've got those very same ice cleats, they're unstoppable!

"Best" is subjective, most all are pretty good but may be better in different traction/environment situations. I've got a few, including OP's style, which I find to be the best for open/wild ground, and just below actual microspikes.

For real alledgedly civilized world traction; Streets, stores, suburbs, etc. They're (OP's) a bit of a lot. In less rugged terrain, like most people's standard but icy 'traverses' like say from the vehicle to the building kind of traverses that most people deal with. For that I've got some Icetrax with a lot of tungsten spikes for a lot of traction, and no issues if one/some of them fail/fall out or off.

I also have 'backup' Korkers which with less spikes seemed to work "well enough" but not nearly the traction of the Icetrax, Realize that the $$ money you saved by getting the discount ones won't really matter at all when your footing fees sketchy. or fails.

LPT; Have more than one pair! You're too often going to find that your single pair of spikes is in the car when you need to get to the car, or home when you need to get out of the car.

EDIT; Hiking? Micro spikes. Rough ground, like yards, parks etc? Rows of spikes. Not Hiking? best overall, Icetrax. OP's look like HT Enterprises. And the non spiked heel is something some people prefer, it's has some to do with your ice walking style, heel first or toe walking? They're all pretty inexpensive, find what works for you.

YMMV.

My hatred for Crocs knows no bounds. Why do those monstrosities exist?

My man is living on the edge with studded tires in 2wd. Lock them crocs and put her in 4 low!

Safety first my friend! You need to lock in the heel loops!

Time for a new pair of cleats.

The rubber on those looks rotted.

What's that? Not wear a comfortable piece of footwear that has multiple uses and you can easily slide in and off?

It's fine if not confident enough to wear clothes without the fear of judgement from others.

Worrying about what other people think of your shoes and clothes generally goes away when grow up.

That's the main reason they exist. The wearers don't give a fuck about what they look like.

So I'll assume you just live in a trailer if you think only trailer trash wears those. I'm sure you might find some self-confidence to not be worried about what other people's opinions are

Crocs needs to release a pair with heel and toe welts for full crampons
