    I just discovered crocs. I have a pair of the chocolate brown (look khaki green to me) mary janes. I LOVE them! I wore them while camping on the Oregon coast recently...they are the best to walk the beach in! Sand comes in...sand goes out. Water comes in....water goes out. Didn't have to worry if they were being ruined...I didn't care if I was making a fashion statement because hell...I was at the beach!

    I admit it, I wanted to be one of the dorcs. I work in retail and will do anything to find a pair of comfortable shoes. However, a few years ago I saw the movie "Idiocracy". In this movie, the lower realm of the gene pool is all that have reproduced and have become incredibly stupid. And in this bleak vision of the future, all of the future morons wear scrubs and crocs. I couldn't bring myself to do it. I am ashamed of my brief stint into trendiness.

    By the way.....I have actual orthopedic problems and my doctor has said that crocs are NOT recommended for that. They mold to your feet , which makes them comfortable, but don't actually offer corrective support, sometimes they even make the problem worse. That's why they invented actual orthopedic insoles which correct the problem, so you're feet can stop hurting. And that's why crocs weren't invented to solve foot problems, they were made for gardening. Leave them in the garden.

    I also hate crocs. I work in a shoe store and all summer, that is all I've seen. The children's feet are usually dirty and smell. People are just lazy, "crocs are so great, you can just slip them on". I'm a single mother of 2,(3 and a half, & 2) I work 2 jobs and I can still find the extra 2 minutes it may take to put sandals or sneakers on them.

    you should get an award for biggest waist of time. The trophy is a big pile of ***. if crocs are bad because they are different you are wrong. you are just like them. you have large holes and foam where your brain should be. for the people who are mad that they cant get on an escalater there are still stairs in the world for all of your lazy dumb asses

    I don' think it's the crocs themselves that drive some of us mad. It's the people that wear them. Usually over-weight people. You know it's true.

    Crocs are hideous.

    That's why I only wear mine in the house.

    I call them duck shoes. I tell my friends, who love the things, that I alrady have a duck butt, and I don't want duck feet to add to the mix. Come to think of it I wouldn't want to pay the duck bill either.

    u should earn an award for biggest waist of time. and the trophy is a pile of ***. who cares what they look like maybe we should get rid of you cause u are different and have giant holes. and the people that have trouble wearing crocs on escalaters there is a thing called stairs for your lazy, retarded, fat asses

  • Posted By: pjadams49417 @ 08/05/2008 6:13:14 PM

    Ha! I call them duck feet. I tell my friends, who just love the things, that I already have a duck butt, so I don't want to add duck feet to the mix. And I especially don't want to pay the duck bill.

    I agree. Crocs are hideous. I was an unfortunate victim of the Crocs phenomenon when they very first came out. I was working in an embroidery shop and we got an order for 5,000 white polo shirts with just the little Crocs logo on the front. It was the worst three weeks of my life! I had no idea what Crocs were at that point, but I still hated them. Once I saw them my hate was completely validated. My actual comment though was on their supposed indestructibility. My friend had a pair of mens Crocs size 10 with him at my cabin this summer. He wore them once and then left them in his car. When he got home he thought he had taken one of his shoes and one of someone else's because one was tiny. Then he realized they were both size 10 still. One of his Crocs had shrunken to a ladies size 7! I'm not sure what did it but I think we need to find out and let the world know how to get rid of these monstrosities.

    dear Steve,
    I am a music teacher in an urban district, I service over 400 students between 5 and 9 years old and I am called on to stand up infront of classes almost 8 hours a day. I also have a rare disease called Dercum's also called Adiposis Dolorosa and also called Fatty Tissue Rheumatism. I have two pairs of Prada, a pair of expensive $100 sandals I found at new balance and a pair of $3., yes three dollar crocs. I am not only plagued with painful fatty tissue consisting of angios, encapsulated lipomas and non-encapsulated pads of adipose tissue which press down on nerves, I have pads of lipoma on and under my feet, there are times when the lipomas grow and cause extreme pain for a week to two at a time. I find that the $3.00 (yes three dollar) crocs are the most comfortable things I can put on my feet. This is a horrible disease, I have had more than a dozenprocedures and surgeries to romove lipomas running the sizes of grapes to lemons taken out of several wicked places like in my groin pressong on my bladder, in my abdomen pressing on my hip, out of my thigh and arm pressing on nerves and they are in my breasts and in the back of my skull. I did not think your article funny and I do not think you have any right to make any kind of fashion statement. The people making fashion statements are definitely not inventing products to help humanity, they are not famous doctors or sugeons who are saving lives with new procedures and medications, they do not have doctorates and have not attained Noble Prizes for anything. They are wretched linsecure ittle models wearing miserable little pieces of cloth with inflated designer prices that people who don't need to work go watch on a runway while sipping coctails and such. They are also fap gansters (male and female dripping with gold and singing the praises of the mobster life on VHS as well as Bristney Spears and Madonnas and the rest of the last generation of the Pop and Rap KIngdoms. What is left for the poor working class who are almost squeezed to death economically by the big businesses and now need to be embarrassed into buying into the likes of these trendsetter wardrobes that people like you think we need to attain to be of any
    real worth. Poo Poo on you. Me and the rest of the striving middle class will wear what we must to get by and feel comfortable in. Suzi More

    Should we discuss the German sandal manufacturer Birkenstock. Get over it! We should be proud that something this monumental was invented here. Sure they may be ugly~ but have you looked at your own feet today? They are truly some of the most functional footwear around~ and as far as style goes open your eyes and look at their line up.

    This writer a moron simply for wasting the time to write such a pointless piece of nothing. I kept waiting for this author to list some reasons for why he dosen't like Crocs or maybe some evidence suggesting that they were bad for the environment or the company had unethical practices, but NO. Not ONE single defined reason why People shouldn't wear Crocs. No wonder the media is ***. I could've written an article about my distate for men wearing pink shirts, but that would've been just as pointless!

    Thank you, Thank you, Thank you - Crocs are ugly and ridiculous looking shoes. I share your contempt for them and totally agree that they are an assault on the eyeballs. Why people wear them? I have no idea.
