Make. It. Stop.

OMG that is the funniest article I've EVER read, but why the heartburn about it all? It's just a pair of shoes...write about something more noteworthy.

I don't understand what the big deal is to you. Why do you care what other people wear and what they don't? Why does everyone have to stop wearing crocs just because you and a few other people don't like the way they look. And the reason they are still around is because yes they are really comfortable and oh wow... people actually buy them! Huh.. That's just strange isn't it? This was a pretty riddiculous article. Since when did Newsweek post the opinions of rednecks?

there was never a moment when I considered even looking at them and there is nothing in me that understands why anyone wears them at all much less in public, I mean really how can it be good to wear a big hunk of rubber on your feet?

The Japanese bombed Pearl Harbour, not the Germans

Ever heard of the song "Fake Plastic Trees"? If it's all about the appearance, then the judge/critic must not hold a lot of values about someone's personality. Furthermore, why should it always be about class? Oh, at work you must dress high in fashion, fancy and expensive. The way you dress doesn't correlate with what you do as a employee... Whatever floats your boat, just go for it! It's about what you do for society not what you wear....

I have to agree with the author, I hate them too! They really ought to be for gardening ONLY and I bet the grass even cringes when they see these monstrosities coming! I just hope they are recyclable for when this fad ends. And I thought socks with sandals were bad!

They look exactly like the type of shoes grandma wore while gardening. She was a little upset if someone saw her wearing them in the yard. She was in her 80s. She has passed away since. Im sure she wouldve laughed at anyone wearing them in PUBLIC!

i will be monitoring and nife ur wife if u dont *** off

i have a friend, and one croc is made in china and the other one made in canada. weird. the end.

I don't own a pair of Crocs, but after reading this article, I shopped on the company's website. Some of their shoes are not terrible, horrid fashion statements. I read your article hoping to find something of substance; the material is bad for the enviornment, the company uses questionable tactics, something meaningful. The fact that you only wanted to rant and rave about your objection to the shoes based solely on your personal style is subsequently drawing attention to the company.

I love the author's candor about being a hater towards Croc shoes. As a side note, I like the visual reference to the pitted out t-shirts- I know what he is talking about. I think the only people who should be allowed to wear crocs are people under the age of 7, nurses and nurse/dental assistants. Thats it. Everyone else looks pretty heinous in them, especially those folks with huge, unruly feet. I dont even want to know what Trucker Balls are.

For all you folks out there who are experts in the fashion world, tell us what you know. http://www.MindBites.com.

Okay, I agree that they aren't so stylish, but there is nothing wrong with wearing crocs for work. I don't wear them out to dinner or clubs, but in my job as a nurse they are saving my feet. I am developing a bunion at age 26 after a short adulthood of too many high heels and too many 12+ hour work shifts. Scrubs aren't sexy, but they can be fun and colorful; why should my work shoes be any less?

I just bought 4 more pairs! I love these things! I will continue preaching the Crocs gospel, despite your weak attempts to slow the movement. Power to the People!
