Dishwasher-safe? Who cares these Crocs are so cheap, just buy a new pair

Let’s face it.When the sun comes out and it starts to feel like summer again, the last thing you want to do is wrestle with a pair of crusty, old, smelly shoes.Consider this seasonal wisdom — just ditch them.

Sure, you could clean them (and hope they become wearable again), or you could do what any reasonable adult does when faced with a sticky situation.You could get rid of them and replace them with a shiny, brand-new pair that costs less than a nice dinner in this economy.We all know there are shoes you want to keep pristine, other shoes that are practically made to get dirty, and some that you can buy again and again because they’re so cheap on Amazon that it’s practically criminal not to stock up on all your favorite shades.

Just grab a new pair, but do it fast.This deal won’t last forever, and neither will the old pair that’s been sitting in your closet since last year.Commuter shoes, garden clogs, arch therapy, or a sometimes-fabulous fad — whatever you consider them, there is one thing about Crocs that certainly rings true.

They’re ultra-durable and easy to clean, depending on who you’re talking to, undeniably cool.Anthony Di Paolo loved his pair so much that he felt compelled to show his followers how he cares for them.In the viral clip posted to Instagram, he popped his Crocs in the dishwasher for a cycle with the rest of his dirty dishes.“They’re actually spotless,” he ...
