Giorgione’s St Roch

I just found this painting of St Roch on the internet.
It is in the Prado in Madrid, beautifully painted
and the plague wound, for once, merely suggested by the
unbuttoned hose.(That is if you don’t look too closely)

But could my favourite saint be possibly wearing Crocs ?
Subtle brown ones it is true, but Crocs….

Madonna with the Child, St Anthony of Padua and St Roch
Giorgione
Oil on canvas, 92x133cm
(Museo del Prado, Madrid)
