Crocs are bright, lightweight, and comfortable slip-ons with holes on top and a strap at the back. Initially created for water leisure enthusiasts, they have now gained popularity among all categories of people - from medical professionals to students and fashion bloggers.
Doctors emphasize that wearing Crocs constantly may be a bad idea. They provide almost no heel fixation and do not support the arch of the foot, which can lead to foot pain, muscle fatigue, and other issues.
Another problem is the material they are made of. The plastic used for Crocs does not allow air circulation, which can contribute to the development of calluses and fungal infections.
When Can You Wear Crocs?
Although Crocs have their drawbacks, they are suitable for the beach, gardening, short walks, and trips to the country. However, for long walks in the city, footwear with cushioning and arch support is recommended.
Comfortable, but potentially harmful – this summarizes everything you should know about Crocs. They are popular among various categories of people, but constant wear can lead to discomfort and foot health issues. It is best to use them in light situations that do not require prolonged strain on the legs.
