Can Serious Cyclists Wear Crocs?

Somehow I fell in love with Crocs, but will they work for me on the bike?

Wouldn't be a fan of crocs myself, but a big fan of your videos. They keep getting better! Kudos.

Thanks for watching, Gavin!
Nice narrative, kudos for yet another entertaining video!
Le Club ! Nice to see a bit of Montreal cycling in LA
Well, i have to be honest, last weekend i rode my Gravel bike with a pair o Fila Sandal and it felt amazing. Like being naked for real. I know all the gear is important, but sometimes i don't want the burocracy. I just wanna ride my bike. And riding confortable, is priceless! :D

I went on 3 days holidays with my wife and I swapped to flat peddles on my Ritchey Swiss Cross and wore what the USA would call flip flops (insert thongs here in Australia) and you're right it's like riding naked, the air through the toes on a hot day was awesome.
I love Crocs. I ride in them because I don't care if they get muddy. I used to skate in them and wear them everywhere. If I'm worried, my nice shoes might get dirty
So. In adition to all other benifits, Crocks get 80 percent of the pro level shoe performance for 10 percent of the price. What a steal.

Good point! I have some fun plans for that Hardrock coming soon
Great video I ride on trails mostly so paved/ gravel in that area I would not recommend crocs and would suggest tennis shoes instead, due to after some riding your feet can slide up and bang against the front of your shoe
You need to attached the turbo and spoiler jibbitz charm to put it in super sports mode. That will add a couple hundred of wattage.
Wearing crocs while I watched this made the video even better. I was a croc hater…. Until I bought a pair. Nice to know they can be my cycling shoes in a pinch

I have a pair, still hate them 😂 They just look ridiculous
I feel like for all these videos you have to do it sitting as well. Sitting and going max speed without having to sprint. Thats just as important imo, because with regular shoes i always have to keep sprinting to maintain my pedal pace, unless of course the wind is at my back.
It's worth noting that studies have shown pulling up with clips is basically useless. All you're doing is increasing your risk for strain or injury. Sadly it can be hard to un-train something like that after doing it for years. Otherwise, great video!
Mitch I love the looks of the pot/slow cooker you use for your chain wax! What model is it? Thanks

Go cycle-touring and your need for goals & targets in front of a screen might become one of those "what was I thinking?" things. ps packing a pair of flip-flops is well worth it.

crocs are the best around the house gotta do quick stuff.
Yes the price difference, pedal and shoe price compared to croc is more expensive
Croc comfort over a long ride would be a game changer. No numb feet

Try moving your cleats all the way back. You're not supposed to get numb feet :)
Lets ignore comfort all about speed and power! We schall never be comfortable!
I put on crocs as a joke to ride my road bike and now their my main shoe for when it gets warmer I even got a croc with the adjustable strap cool guy style

@mitchboyer Baratza Encore I think makes an espresso grinder now. "Baratza Encore ESP, Coffee Grinder Optimized for Espresso with M2 Burr"
If you can get Spd clips on Crocks…now that will bring in the cash!!!
this would have been a lot different if you would have worn Valcko Studios SPD Crocs

the less stiff your shoes, more muscle power wasted to stabilize you feet. that is the theory why stiffer shoes is better. my Shimano SD5 is like wet noodles compared even just Shimano XC702
I wear thongs which leave me at a disadvantage .
