Crocs in the gym...

Jump to newest
 

By (user no longer on site) OP

So this morning havi walked into the gym, I saw a sign near the fron desk that said something like "With Summer round the corner, a gentle reminder for everyone's safety... No Flip Flops, No Crocs, No Sliders"

Now I've seen gym videos on social media with people wearing crocs and personally don't see why they would be worn in the gym but it's not like people are doing squats and deadlifts in them. Do you have an opinion on this?

Crocs are for life not just for Christmas.

That's definitely a recipe for an injury

To swimming pools sure, but not to work out In

I wear flip flops all the time in the gym & barefoot to deadlift , what’s the safety issue exactly ?

You drop a 20 k plate on your toe, unless you have steel toe caps it’s gonna hurt

If I got them for Christmas, I'd ask for the receipt

I imagine they use them to just walk around in as I can't imagine they're worn for a stable base for any serious lifts.

Ok, I get your point but you're still a wrong'un for going barefoot in the gym

So you could see where they were purchased to go and get a second pair.

If you are barefoot, you are giving and increased risk of fungal foot infections spreading, but thats no different to the showers or changing rooms.

I can't see their justification for this unless some idiots are wearing them on the running machines!

Weights are a problem in crocs as not stable but fine for running matching unless those little things you push through the holes come out…they could be painful if stood on…

I've seen women in my gym wearing them on the treadmill.

Quite simply, this sounds like 'Footwear Apartheid' to me. The Gym should be reported.

Penny's first question before we started dating was 'do you own crocs'. If I had said yes life would have been very different.

What if you had said no and penny owned high heel crocs…. What if she was a croc lover ? That’s such a tricky question to answer as it could have gone either way

Usually you see newbies in the gym wearing crocs......until they drop a 20 on their foot, then you never see them again

Good old health & safety...

The gym I used to go to was upstairs. The number of people who tripped up the stairs (wearing trainers) was phenomenal. Just imagining the same scenario in crocs makes me wince & you know some numpty will be on the treadmill in flip flops

Otherwise I wear my wore in converse in the gym not sure if it’s better but does the trick

Can't see what the problem is. I wear barefoot shoes sometimes - no protection at all.

Just no.

A lot of the "lads" will wear flip flops because they think it makes them look like they've been in jail. Just makes you look like an idiot.

I think it is more of the grip and stability aspect rather than feet protection element. There is no practical purpose for Crocs in the gym. It's like wearing sunglasses indoors. You think you look cool. You don't.

I guess they’re not really appropriate for the gym but I’m usually too focussed on my own workout to worry about what others are wearing although I did see someone training in their pyjamas a few weeks ago.

Just no.

No. And Beans, I'm disappointed in you for giving these people the dignity of Internet paper and ink.
