Question received via our web search: "Can I boil my Crocs?"
What, you mean like lobsters? To kill them? Well, we guess anything you can do to Crocs other than actually wearing them is probably a step forward, but a cursory search of the Crocs website reveals that no, you cannot boil your Crocs. And you can’t eat them, either. Sorry to be the ones to break it to you.
Crocs say: "4 out of 5 Crocs, Inc. Customer Service Representatives in this study agreed that even though the shoes had a nice texture and looked tasty; they would not recommend eating the shoes."
If you just want to clean them, then, stick to good old soapy water, and keep it at a normal temperature. If you want to eat them, see your shrink, because Houston, we have a problem. If you’re trying to kill them, on the other hand, hey, want to join The Fashion Police? We like the way you think…
I’m confused as to why someone would want to wear OR boil their crocs. Hmm.
Haha! It’s a common question. If you happen to be wearing Crocs as they were intended, ie, to work in a hospital, there’s a chance you might get, well, something yucky on them. Boiling is an effective way to disinfect things, so some people think boiling. But that will shrink the plastic foam. So, it’s not a good idea.
But you can soak them in bleach, which also works.
What? I only wear them with my scrubs, so it’s not like I’m stylin’ to begin with.
Well, there was a story going around that you could boil and eat your Crocs if you were lost in a forest.
But then again, why would you be wearing Crocs in the first place? Shouldn’t you be wearing hiking boots?
When I was learning gourmet cuisine like 4 years ago, I had to wear snickers. But now, I´ve noticed that there is this RULE for new students to wear white or black crocs… I was a lucky one who scaped from it!
My sister suffers from arthritic inflamation in her feet and crocs are one of the few shoes she can comfortably wear. As a matter of fact, she must wear them or something similar, at all times, as bare feet is simply not an option. I still don’t understand why they have to look like gardening shoes. Regardless…I can be patient with that, but when your average healthy adult is walking around in crocs…I still strongly disapprove.
I would encourage you to boil them, dispose of whatever you’re left with, and destroy all evidence of ever having owned them.
I actually like one style of Crocs, which I own in light pink for when I go to amusement parks/swimming in public places:
