Story Time
Rabbi Friefeld in his older years was going to the Doctor. Being that he was weak, he was debating if he should get dressed- after all he was a Rosh Yeshiva or he should go in pajamas. He decided on getting dressed but did not put on shoes but rather went in slippers. A talmid asked him what made him decide on his choice of footwear. He answered that he felt that it would not be respectful to his talmidim if their Rebbi was seen in pajamas and a robe. But being that he couldn't tie his shoes it would be disrespectful to his Rebbitzin to have her tie it for him, so he decided to wear slippers.

i tyna that if skipping tying the shoes gives you more time 2 learn, then theres no excuse not 2 wear crocs.
walking around stam azoi with untied shoes or crocs is a chisoron in nichbados of a ben torah
y not look at it as an opportunity 2 have more time 2 learn? its not like it looks less bakovodik when wearing a regular pair of crocs.
