Schools across at least 20 states are implementing bans on Crocs, citing safety risks as the primary reason. Bessemer City High School's Principal, Stoney Pritchett, labels Crocs a 'no-Croc zone', with potential consequences including in-school suspension for violators. Students defending the footwear claim they are as safe as alternatives. However, podiatrist Dr. Priya Parthasarathy points out that Crocs can lead to serious injuries, though she acknowledges their suitability for casual wear. Despite opposition, Crocs' sales remain stable, with the company even suggesting their shoes are meant for everyday use rather than sports performance, yet safety remains a pressing concern.
It’s actually a safety hazard. Man, they can twist the knees, twist, twist the ankles, things like that.
Crocs can easily get caught in equipment, causing the child to fall or injure their foot or rip a toenail off.
Classic Clog is a comfortable, casual shoe that is appropriate for everyday wear.
It's a safety hazard. I mean, things happen.
