#i can promise you. rock climbing with crocs is a bad idea

[teddiebearie]

I literally did gym for several years in crocs bc getting proper shoes made was just.... not worth it. either I’d outgrow my pair in less than a year (and I couldn’t get another pair made that year because I’d already used up my one chance) or there were just not enough years of gym left that it would make sense to get a pair made, use it for one year and then never touch it again

#teddy's talk #i can promise you. rock climbing with crocs is a bad idea #also in hindsight it's kind of weird that several teachers gave me bad grades for.... not being able to rock climb properly #like ok part of it was me but doing it with crocs.... really did not help #on the flip side tho: #one time we had a sub during the baseball unit and he was like 'are you..... running in crocs?' and then gave me a free home run #every time i batted. that was kind of funny #no but like. in high school there were several bonding activity days where i couldn't do anywhere from half to all of the activities #bc they required disposable shoes. that i did not have. and ok i didn't want to do them anyway so it worked out #but it's still like. Not Great that i didn't have that option at all. you know #OK i'll shut up for real now
