Death By Crocs -
I have a pair of Crocs, (bought when they 1st came out.) about 16+ years old. The tread has been worn flat for a number of years now. (They have been seen in multiple Firearms posts I have made, over the years.)
Crocs with no tread, are a hydroplaning disaster, on wet surfaces. ☠
You would think I had learned by now, not to wear them in those conditions. You have no idea how fast you can go down. (Blink of an eye.) I have avoided broken arms etc. by the Grace of God.
Went down in the blink of an eye, a few days ago. Got a large 5-6" purple, yellow, green bruise on my hip to show for it. These (worn) Crocs are super dangerous in those conditions. Anyone else here get to enjoy that aspect of them?
"Danger,Warning Will Robinson, Danger." ☠☠☠🤕

Crocs, with tread are an all Terrain Shoe. (Unfortunately) Mine have been worn for so long they are dead flat on bottom. My next pair will be "Off Road," Crocs. (Yes, that is a real thing.)
Crocs, are the most comfortable footwear, ever devised by man.

I've posted this before.
First, scrub the bottoms with soap and water, then wipe with alcohol.
When completely dry and clean, run wavy lines of hot glue across the bottom, side to side. Space them half an inch or so apart.
Voila! new treads. My pair (almost as old as yours) have had glue treads now for a couple of years and none have peeled off.

@Gregor62, I was lying awake (not sleeping like usual,) last night, worrying about and trying to work out, how my Buddy would get cared for, if I broke an arm etc and had to go to the Hospital overnight.
I have one friend, (went to this past Thanksgiving there) that owns four Pits and could come in to my house and handle my Bud, if it came to that. My next door neighbor/buddy exhibits fear. (Dogs sense that.) If anyone comes in to my house when I am not there, Buddy acts like he is ready to eat someone.
(But) I worry about him. In my absence.

been there done that.
with out realizing the tread had worn off . then its like running racing slicks in the rain or on ice ( ask me how I know 🤨
I try not to wear any of the crocks out side but forget some times while letting the dogs in or out
I have used the hot glue and also have just took a sharp knife and cut new treads of course as a last resort I have just tossed them out ( trust me I hate to throw any thing away 😁 )
they are comfortable easy on and off great with a bad back , but being so soft of foam rubber or what ever compound they use the price to pay for the positive sides is they wear out fast

buy a pair of outdoor boots, or work boots. Like a right tool for the job thing.

Push some nail down to get some golf shoe action.

Yosh, when I was a smart little kid, I once hammered some roofing nails down through a tennis shoe to make "mountain climbers". Thought that the big heads on those nails would be comfortable to walk on. I was wrong.

that's similar to what I wore most of my life and still have maybe a dozen pair some NIB and some showing years of use even wearing a pair of sneakers or tennis shoes what ever you want to call them ? was a hard sell for me but new balance and Skechers I have got use too
the fist pair of crocks I wore I had a chunk of my man card torn off LOL and hoped no one seen me
but around the house and having a bad back compared to tying my boots or shoes not so easy the crocks do make that part easier around my house

You forgot to slap in the nails under the insoles.

I gave up really caring about what people thought about what I wear, a long time ago.
Don't like what I'm wearing, too bad/tough.
*My Son laughed about my Crocs for years. "Your Old Man Shoes." Until he wore them a few times. Then he had to have a pair. Anyone that laughs about them, has never worn a pair. If it does not validate your "Man Card," maybe you shouldn't have one. 🤔

Clean the soles the way Rocky said then using contact cement glue Scotchbrite pads on them. That was the trick for fishing waders way back when.
