Eamonn Holmes shared the one thing that’s getting him back on his feet again as his mobility struggles continue – but his co-star gave it a decisive thumbs down.
Eamonn Holmes was brutally mocked over his use of Crocs – even though he insists they give him “good suspension in the knees”.
Co-star Ellie Costello was horrified by Eamonn’s admission that Crocs are his ideal go-to shoe, playfully putting him on trial for his crimes against fashion.
Yet while she urged him to stop wearing them “immediately”, the GB News broadcaster has a good reason for liking them.
After chronic pain from mobility issues confined him to a wheelchair, even at major events like the TRIC Awards, Eamonn admitted he’s struggling.
Ellie firmly declared: “I have to draw the line there. That has to be stopped immediately. They’re gardening shoes!” Doubling down, she added: “Never wear them outdoors – ever.”
Yet Eamonn protested: “Really? It gives you good suspension in your knees!” Ellie’s not alone in her distaste for the shoe, as news articles over the years have consistently branded them “profoundly hideous”, “grotesque” and “objectively ugly”.
One reviewer from The Conversation lamented that “Gen Z grew up in a world filled with ugly fashion”.
Yet the hole-filled plastic backless shoes can provide some benefits, according to podiatrist Dr Vanessa Barrow.
She went on record to tell Pure Wow: “As we mature, we lose fat in our feet because our collagen starts wearing thin, so Crocs will feel good for people who need that extra cushion.”
They are also said to avoid the risk of compression in the toes.
However, Dr Barrow still didn’t recommend them for those who intend to be on their feet for long periods of time, while she also warned they can cause sweating.
Meanwhile, Eamonn might have been seated in a smart suit on today’s GB News episode, but he teased an “outfit change” later in the day, joking that he’d been asked by numerous people in the company to get back into the famous shorts he wore in his youth.
However, he ended up declaring that he was “resisting the call to wear shorts”.
He then poked fun at colleague Paul Coyte, whom he complained had sent him scantily clad photos of himself in shorts and flip-flops.
Wrinkling his nose, straight-talking Eamonn quizzed: “Why would anyone want to see him in his shorts?!”
Despite the ridicule Eamonn Holmes faced for his choice in footwear, he stands by his Crocs for the support they provide his knees. Co-star Ellie Costello may have condemned them as “gardening shoes”, but Eamonn values the comfort they offer, especially after experiencing mobility issues that left him using a wheelchair.
While the debate over the aesthetics of Crocs continues, podiatrist Dr. Vanessa Barrow notes their benefits for those who need extra cushioning due to fat loss in the feet from aging. Despite warnings about potential sweating and not ideal for long periods of standing, some find relief in wearing Crocs.
In a recent episode of GB News, Eamonn teased the possibility of an outfit change, hinting at a return to the shorts he famously wore in his younger years. Despite pressure from colleagues, he resisted the urge to sport shorts, even poking fun at a colleague who sent him photos in shorts and flip-flops.
Eamonn’s wit and humor shine through, adding a light-hearted touch to the conversation. As we continue to follow Eamonn’s journey, it’s clear that his resilience and humor help him navigate challenges with grace.
Stay tuned for more updates on his adventures and insights, and remember to embrace what brings you comfort, regardless of others’ opinions.
