has anyone had an issue with foot, ankle, knee injuries due to the shoes called crocs?
Category: Knee Injuries
There was a warning just put out a couple days ago stating that crocs were having massive amounts of people complaining about broken feet, ankles and knee injuries due to the wearing of them. To me this is serious because my 5 year old just got a pair. can anyone give me more information on this product pertaining to this? please
that’s what I was thinking as well, was that they weren’t just wearing them, but using them in situations where sneakers are what should be on their feet.

This is the first that I’ve heard about this! I own 4 pairs of them, and I absolutely love them. They’re the most comfortable pair of shoes that I own!
I have heard about Crocs causing injuries on escalators. People would get the shoe sucked into the side of the escalator. But I’m sure that could happen with any soft shoe.
I am going to look into this more. I mean if people are wearing crocs to do physical activity (running, playing sports) then I dont’ feel sorry for them because clearly they’re not meant for that. But if it’s just from wearing them and walking around, then that is not good at all.

Only if the crocs are being worn in an activity that they shouldn’t be used for. For example, at my camp crocs are one of the few types of slip ons that you are allowed to wear. My friend was skipping and running around, tripped over a rock, and tore nurmerous tendons in her ankle. Needed surgery and casts for about 6 months.
But people wear them all day, and that was one of the few croc related injuries.

I wore them after an ankle injury because they seemed comfortable, but they really don’t provide enough support… I ended up w/ plantar fasciitis in the previously injured foot. A better alternative is Quarks. Look ‘em up. They’re what nurses and such wear.
