This may sound weird, but I've got a pair of crocs - still wearing them actually and they were my first pair ever - about 4 years ago! But the soles are very thin now and if I pop outside - welll, it's getting painful! I wear them as slippers in the house mostly and I was thinking - there must be thousands of "old Crocs" around - the sole wears out but the top looks just like the day I bought them - what can we do with them?
It's not very green if they all end up in landfill - there must be something we can do - anyone got any ideas?

Stand them up, fill them with earth and use them as mini planters. You could grow cress in one and chives in the other.

Aldi have some gel insoles for about £2 at the moment, why not give them a further lease of life as garden shoes? In the winter you can wear them with socks, too. Other than that, I wear my old Crocs as house shoes, I hate cosy slippers.It's what is inside your head that matters in life - not what's outside your windowEvery worthwhile accomplishment, big or little, has its stages of drudgery and triumph; a beginning, a struggle and a victory. - Ghandi0
