I have fake fur lined crocs very comfy and u can wash the liners.

They do have small holes in the top but not on the sides.

I love them but I am heavy footed and walk rolling my feet insted of heel to toe so I wear out my shoes very quickly.

I wore 8 eyelet DM's for many years - not sure why I stopped wearing them???

Currently struggling to find some decent work shoes (I wear crocs out in a matter of weeks lol), so may well invest in a new pair of DM's

Crocs with small holes for winter and larger holes in the summer. Not good for sharps etc but they are so comfy. They dont slip on wet floors either which is good, however you do have to be aware of tread wearing smooth cos then you can go skating on wet floors.

When i was at the wildlife hospital, it was steel toed DM boots!!! i was happy with that, no angry stag stomping on my feet, ankle support for running after things. Needed something sturdy as wrestling with wildlife!

I love my crocs! But they are too cold for winter so just wear black trainers - I'm a locum and no-one has ever said to be I can't wear them!! Crocs come in sizes now - best to go to shop and try them, then you can prob find them on the internet cheaper! But COMFORT IS THE KEY!!

Wow it goes to show how many things I had not thought of... the holes in crocs being a danger for one thing!

I did have a pair (with the holes in) I passed them onto my Mother as she has a dog grooming salon and finds they are good for all day wear on a very punishing floor.

Do crocs actually come in sizes now? I got my pair when they were first out for £30 and were just available in small, medium and large... I found the sole of them very comfy but I have tiny little toes and the left one rubbed mine something awful so I am a bit wary of buying another pair in a random fit!

I call them my 'lego feet' as my feet looked like two big square blocks of pink lego with them on!

are boss pretty much lets us wear what we want, i wear sketcher shoes but on snow days and raining days (so pretty often at the mo) i wear dark trainers, hvn and one of the other nurses wear ugg type boots cos they complain their legs get cold, none of us wear crocs during the winter but in the summer we do

Yeah were not allowed to wear crocs with holes in. I wear crocs without. I'm always on the look out for some black trainers tho, not really allowed to wear trainers but I figure if they are all black it wont be too bad. you can pick up some decent shoes on ebay.

Pink Croc's without the holes.....for the same reason as mentioned before!

I've got crocs, but ones without holes in the top, we're not allowed holes in top because of h & s. Also prefer not to get peed on etc through holes!

I did have crocs which I loved as super comfy and now I have clogs with paw prints on them. They are also comfy but you can't wash them as easily as crocs!

Crocs are so comfy, I can be on my feet all day and they feel fine. Not really safe in theatre though as wont protect from anything sharp. Vet Direct do some nice clogs with paw prints on, I used to have a pair of those.

When in vet practice wear what's comfortable!

I now work for the NHS and wear black trainers. Your on you feet most of the day, so you should be in comfortable footwear.

When in vet practice I did wear crocs althou preferred my trainers as they offered more support and comfort! I tripped up so many times wearing crocs it's unreal!
