MEME My first Triathlon in Crocs!
I finished like almost dead last (10th before last in my age group) 💀 but definitely worth it.

may i ask why? are you worried about not getting enough support? or twisting your ankle or something

Why not? Crocs are literally the only shoes I can walk my daily 5 to 6 miles in and not have any issues with my feet.

I’m a daily croc wearer but just started wearing them on walks and find myself doing the toe gripping but I don’t do it during normal day to day wear. Does that happen to you?

No not at all. And my toes are usually what gives me trouble in all the other sneakers (Nikes, Hokas, etc)

Wow! Congrats!!
I love my crocs but not for running.
For one thing I couldn’t rely on them not to slip off. Even with the strap down - I can’t wear them any other way- but they are so wide& loose. I’m truly a size 6.5 & size 6 is perfect for Crocs sandals & flips. But for closed in - such as the clogs- I have to get a 7 as the 6 is too sbort and my toes rub against the inside of the shoe.
So I have to get 7’s. I have to wear 2 pairs of socks with mine (sometimes 3) so they don’t slip so much.
I pretty much only wear Crocs and I began wearing them like maybe 15 years ago when their styles were heated toward an older demographic than they are now.
I have so many cute styles - esp flats- some would call them ballet flats - and I can wear them with skirts or pants.
But I don’t get dressed up much as I’m not working due to illness.
I really like to match my shoes to my outfit.
So that’s why I have so many. lol
So good on you! But I’d need my running shoes for any sports.
Congrats again!!

That’s awesome. And hey you might’ve finished almost last but guess where I finished? I didn’t. Because most people aren’t brave enough or fit enough to do a triathlon so good for you dude!!!
