I feel so strongly about this croc-itis that your post inspired me to blog about it on my own page.
Comfortable?

If I may quote myself here… “But they failed to mention that no matter how good these shoes might be from a health point of view, they still make you look like a silly garden gnome. I just CANNOT take anyone seriously when they’re wearing crocs. This brand has somehow fooled the world… but not me, because I truly do vomit in my mouth a little, every time I see someone wearing a pair of crocs”.

Even if they are ugly, if you actually try on a pair, they are fairly comfortable. They’re actually kind of convenient, like, if you want to bring your cart in or check your mail in the rain you can just slip them on your feet and not worry about them getting ruined in the rain.

I didn’t buy my crocks until 2 years after they were so popular. At first, I thought they were the most ugly things I had ever seen. But after breaking down and shelling out the $40 for a pair, I was hooked. They were the most comfortable shoes I bought in a long time.

Mind you, I would never wear them to Church or out to dinner, but around the house….they’re perfect! Besides, no one important can see me there! So perhaps I’m a closet “crock-aholic”?

I have a pair of Crocs, but not of the original design. Can’t remember what design mine is but it’s super cute.

I love them ‘cos they dry very quickly and you can get them wet without worries. Perfect if you’re going to the beach, not so great in the winter though.

It’s my summer shoes. Well, just one of the many pairs in my collection.

Not sure why people make a big fuss about it though.

How amusing. Love the line: Everyone knew someone who loved them, and then one afternoon at about 3:30 p.m., without so much as an informal heads-up, the collective American shoe-buying public went, and I’m quoting here, “Meh.”

Nice one.

I have already had 3 pairs, bought 3 pairs for my girlfriend and parents, reason being…theyre simply good. I used to think they were damn weird looking and laughed at people who wore them, calling them clowns. But I think the best part about it is its durability and non slip features which makes it a safe and practical type of shoe. Besides, I think its called “crocs” because it looks like wooden Clogs.

I own 5 pairs of “Imitation” Crocs. They are fantastic in my line of work as a builder as I can slip them off when entering a Clients House, and they are very soft and comfortable. I must admit that I wear socks with them you know the style of Polish or German Immigrants. Long Live Crocs

I hate the standard crocs, but I own a pair of the “alice” crocs (look like mary janes) and they are my favourite shoes ever, I would love to get another pair in another colour but it would seem they don’t make them anymore

Thanks for the laugh. I have never been a fan of crocs for adults – I think they look cute on kids, but wonder about the safety. When I saw the winter styels (that come with the fuzzy lining) I thougt to my self – what have we come to?? I vow that I will never own a pair!

Great article. Found it quite amusing. I own a pair of Crocs but mostly I use it when I need to “slosh” around my wet backyard during the monsoon season (I’m from Southeast Asia) or when I get stuff from the wet market, which is every weekend. Looks kind of…ugly, I do agree but very comfortable on the feet. I don’t mind ugly as long as it serves my purpose. Oh and yeah, they are overpriced…much like than other sandal phenom we have her, Haviannas.
