Schools across the United States are banning Crocs, the popular slip-on foam clogs that are surprisingly comfortable despite the fact that they make everybody look like an old-school mental patient shuffling through an Arkham-style asylum. Also, you can sort of eat them.
The Crocs bans, which are happening in schools in no less than 12 states, including Georgia and Florida, are largely attributed to things you might expect, like “distractions” caused by Jibbitz, a.k.a. the little charms people pinned to their crocs. But perhaps most practically and less culture war-y, they are being banned because kids are tripping all over themselves wearing them. Turns out, slip-on sandals are not the most secure form of footwear. Who could have guessed it?
