2k crocs easily. 
  
 one because i can afford it 
 two because over long term, 2k crocs are likely much better than 200rs clogs

But cant you buy 10 knockoffs for the same price and they would definately outperform crocs over time

Buy a pair of 200₹ clogs and if they do last beyond 2y, they are good. Else go for Crocs. Depends on your use case.

It feels horrible in the start but once it molds to your feet, it's one of the most comfortable footwear.

I love my birks. Been using the same pair over past 5 years. They do get much more comfy over time (the cork ones)

Have been using same clogs for 6 years, no damage & still comfortable. 2K is totally worth it.

Its not only about clogs. Trear clogs as a refernece. I mean in every category, be it a cheap android vs premium android phone, gadgets, food, etc

Crocs any day. I've tried both and know the difference.  
  
 First got a Swiftwater (unfortunately discontinued) for about 5K. They were the lightest, toughest, and by far the most comfortable footwear I wore ever in my life (worth the exaggeration). 
  
 Then because it was discontinued, after 6years of heavy usage I saw its replica sold by Paragon for 500. Went to give it a try. It's heavy, colour fades, the material used is so poor that it sucks. Worst footwear I've ever worn in my life (worth the exaggeration).

I've upgraded form ₹400 bewakoof slides to ₹2000 mid market slides, can feel the difference in regular use. 
  
 You're better of with atleast spending on mid level stuff if the top ends feels a ripoff.

I bought an original pair in August 2021. Still going strong.

Knock offs will break within a year 
  
 Crocs will last a long time.  
  
 Crocs are not 2k at my foot size btw. They are much costlier but imo worth it.

I used to think the same way a long time ago.  
  
 It seems intuitive to have ten different options instead of spending the same for one option.  
  
 However I personally feel that everything I own should feel reliable to me. I can’t count on a knockoff/cheaper alternative to work exactly the same way I want when I desperately need it.  
  
 On the other hand the costlier/original option would probably work the way I want it to work almost all the time.  
  
 And that’s reason enough to go for them. But all of this is my perspective. Others might be getting it for showoff or social norm or whatever too

Staff Engineer

Crocs are very comfortable. I used to wear those typical chappals and since when I switched to crocs my heels have been thanking me.

I want to understand peoples perception when it comes to value with branded items and unbranded/ knockoff products

₹2k crocs vs ₹200 clogs? What do you prefer
