Emergency physician Abdullah Pratt highlights the dangers of wearing Crocs in winter conditions, recalling frequent injuries he sees related to them. Crocs lack traction and won’t support the ankle, which can lead to slips and falls. Pratt advises avoiding these shoes during icy weather to prevent injury. His experiences not only shape his own behaviors but serve as warnings for others who might underestimate the risks of improper footwear, especially in hazardous conditions like snow and ice. Other lessons from emergency room doctors also aim to inform public safety and personal choices.
In winter, he sees Croc-specific injuries once a week. The shoes don't provide traction, and they don't provide any ankle support, he said.
Dr. Pratt isn't willing to risk an injury for a quick errand and, after talking to him, neither am I.
