They're truly hideous.
They are the STUPIDEST thing to hit design since the one-sided tank top...
They are truly ugly, but I’d take them over Heelys any day!
What is this? The fashion scoop du jour? LOL!
I’ve never seen black ones.
Damn things are all over my house. I can’t even interest my dog in chewing up the daughter’s clunkers.
The writer seemed miffed that people would wear socks with Crocs (and by extension, any sandal-type thing, I guess). I’ve never really understood this objection. Not everybody likes sweaty footwear.
truly ugly shoes! the only use i can imagine for them
would be mucky outside work. you could hose ‘em off
when you’re done. :)
I love my lime green Crocs for wearing outside at my house to do chores, but I wouldn’t wear them anywhere in public that was not the casual section of a resort destination. People wear flip flops in the city too, and they are really no different than Crocs, i.e., extreme casual wear.
Does anyone remember those multi-colored rubber Chris Craft or L.L. Bean rain shoes/boots that were big in the 1980s? I still have a yellow pair and a beige pair of boots.
They are! My boss wears them to work. I laughed at him the first time he came in with them on. I told him he looked like a dork ;-) I myself prefer flip flops.
A number of people I know who work all day standing swear by them.
They look about as comfortable as taping sandpaper to your feet and walking.

These are probably a Father’s Day present from his daughters. After all, the did buy him an iPod.
What are they made out of petroleum (plastic)?
I thought a Conservative was someone who (among other things) valued things which perform well and that superficialities were at best secondary, if not negligible. Function before form, that kinda thing. Like, the opposite of ... fashion.
I am on my feet all day through 12-hour shifts at the hospital. Crocs are comfy, durable, leightweight, provide secure traction even when unpleasant things are spilled on the floor - and they come in black. Shoes that cost more and are acceptably pretty may be fine for sitting behind a desk, but charming textured leathers and smart gold buckles mean little when running to a cardiac arrest.
Hollywood people obsesses over the way things look. Such things should be beneath us. There are plenty of websites for fashion-police wannabees.
Crocs (and their offbrand imitators) are nearly the best thing that's ever happened to anyone who works on their feet, and most folks who have actually tried them want to wear them all the time ...
because when the priority is function they are better than most alternatives...
so it's kinda a "walk a mile in my shoes" thing ...
in a literal as well as figurative sense.
If the priority isn't function, then there must be something on television that you'll like.
