How is it that chefs who seem to care so much about where their food is coming from, and how it is produced, what it is fed, etc. can turn around and buy a pair of clogs that has a half life of a million years. No, no, I get it, they're comfy and cheap. Convenience is king right? Yeah, in fact lets all start using disposable cutting boards, and disposable plastic cookware. in fact, I've decided to start serving plastic as food in my restaurant, I mean we better start learning to metabolize it sooner or later, because with all the short sighted purchasing choices out there, pretty soon all we will have left is plastic Thbbbhhppbht!!!!
crocs, what a croc!!

I was just trying to make a comparison Nicko. My apologies.

I have no problem with a topic evolving into another discussion if they are both relevant.
Cheftorrie, people change the world all the time, last year the organic food industry generated 19 billion dollars in revenue. Even Gerber and Kraft have put out organic lines, and those companies wouldn't jump on the bandwagon for no reason. The topic was consumer responsibility within the food production industry. We as chefs spend a whole lot of money and therefore have every ability to change the way the products we use are produced. I must add that I find it interesting that folks think that because I like to write with a little flair that I'm somehow angry or aggressive, actually, not so much. just enjoy a stimulating conversation.

Most comfortable kitchen shoes EVER.
Has nothing to do with crocs, but I think everyone should get these.

i don't know about you, but i have EEEE feet (that's extra extra wide). the only other kitchen shoes that are affordable and fit me are new balance, which absorb water like a sponge and smell like the fungal colony that will soon be growing on your feet, after a week of wear. crocs aren't the greatest, but they work for those of us with very wide feet. now if only they'd put in some arch support.

I LOVE CROCS, just as much as Mario Batali.
I dont have 50 pairs of orange crocs, but its the footwear im usually using.
Unless i have a formal outing, or something like that i am wearing crocs.
In the kitchen i use black kitchen clogs, slip resistant, that have no holes in them, but they feel like crocs LOL.
When i leave the kitchen, i go and put on my crocs XD. I walk home with crocs.
When i go out to the cafe im wearing crocs. Out with friends its crocs XD, going to a culinary class or course im wearing crocs, and i use them with jeans, sweat pants, shorts you name it its what i wear at least 80% of the time if not more.
Mine are neon purple, but im thinking about switching the color soon enough. Regardless though the only way i wont wear rubber shoes is if im jogging, im at a wedding, fancy dinner etc...
At home its 50/50 crocs or barefoot.
I doubt me not buying crocs will save the world. People are buying leather shoes, and cars are polluting the planet daily, my crocs are the least damaging regardless XD.
If im well dressed or its freezing cold outside i may not wear them, but its still tempting to put them on.

This thread is like, 7 years old guys. There needs to be an archive section or some other way to not have this happen all the time.Â

Since this thread has been brought back to life ...
Sketchers now makes something like the Crocs bistro-style. I grabbed a pair for $20 or so when my daughter bought a pair of shoes during their buy-one-get-one-half-priced deal, and I'm sold. Tighter-fitting than the Crocs, and less clumsy looking, too. For cheap shoes, I'm sold.

Crocs makes a closed toe chef clog, non slip, comfortable. Only knock is the rubber nubs inside. I assume they're for massaging purposes, but they eat socks. Best to buy a set of insoles.
So, a Croc with no holes, designed for the kitchen.
Everybody wins.

i think i was sold when a "platter", the largest plate in our kitchen (maybe 12" X 18", and weighing a few pounds), fell from around six feet, edge-on onto my foot. i was a little sore, but the expected broken foot didn't happen. both my foot and the plate survived, bruised but intact.
