Make. It. Stop.

I read this article on the paper Newsweek, and I was disgusted. Newsweek, I can't believe you published this offensive and self-centered article. Very disappointing. If you hate crocs, don't buy them, ignore them, or just write about your hatred on your little blog. Don't just attack them on a world-wide, influencial and renowned publication like that.

Crocs is not a giant corporation, they are a rather small company that makes product they belive in, and they mean no harm to anybody. I think it is extremely unfair to publicly attack this company just because their product seems ugly to you. What a great father you are to teach your son to judge people based on the way they look, and to teach how to look down on people with little knowledge.

I hate these snobby, know-it-all but don't-know-what -they-are-talking-about writers. They are the national nightmares.

Have you ever worked in the health care field? Also, since you're so late, you'd know that they have many many many other designs. So, when you say crocs, my mind doesn't even register as those sandals with holes in them. Don't you think that the company would have caught on to all the negative reviews after all this time?

I recently saw a story on TV about how crocs are not actually good for your feet, no matter how comfortable they may be, and i rejoiced that the dorks who wear them actually weren't getting the health benefits they thought they were. i am with the author on this one - crocs are an absurd abomination in footwear and make their wearers look ridiculous. try some dr. scholls inserts if you need to walk more than half a block.

After many years of not being able to walk more then half a block I can at last walk as far as I want with no foot pain. Thank you Crocs. My first pair were a gift now I own many pairs and all the rest of of $100+ shoes in my closet just gather dust. Beauty is in something that works for so many.

I just read this (pared-down) article in my paper Newsweek and was disgusted beyond whatever Republican lie-du-jour was feartured that week. The author wears pleated Dockers, 'nuff said. Are Crocs classically beautiful? No, I suppose, they lack the sloping nose and graceful lines of Greco-Roman classical beauty. But, they are beautiful, in an abstract, conceptual, modern way; in a ridiculous, absurd way that only a puffy, solid-colored foam orb, vaguely resembling a Dutch clog, encasing one's foot. They're lighthearted funniness is especially welcome on grumpy old men, its truly endearing. But now, to the beef of my argument. Consider the bulk of the Crocs demographic: the clueless, careless suburban "plopper". If it weren't for quirky old Crocs, these silly people would be donning (good God, brace yourselves): solid-white K-SWISS. Shoot

As a person who has had 2 reconstructive surgeries on each foot, the first when I was 13 years old and the second at 40, now at 50 I am very thankful for Crocs. I can actually buy a pair of shoes, walk out of the store and wear them...and not have had to pay up toward and over $100. I like the fact that I can afford multiple pairs. I like the wild colors and for a while, at least was able to wear what was "popular." I hope they never go out of business; if they do, I'll have to try to buy up whatever remains that I can find. It is offensive to me that people feel they can put their judgment of style so viciously on others. I'm a self-proclaimed croc-aholic, and will continue to enjoy them whether or not others, most of whom I don't know, label me as a dork. I have a photo which might help explain why I can't put my poor, distorted feet into the shoes that others say are cool.

this is the best article evar

Crocs are no longer cute once they progress out of toddler sizes. This rant is stating the obvious but it was still absolutely hilarious. I despise those damn things and crushed my 9 year old daughter's dreams of assimilating into them with the likes of our little suburban neighbors. YOU WILL WEAR SKETCHERS AND YOU WILL LIKE IT! *lol*

I don't know how you people can think they are so unsanitary hell they are easy to clean...hell you can spray them with a disinfectent if you are afraid of that......... grow up peploe my kids wear them and so do I...i am getting ready to buy me a new pair...........

I hate them sooooooooooooo much! They are destoying Fashion! We should get rid of them as soon as possible!!!!!!!!

I hate crocs soooooooooooooooooooooo much! they are distroying FASHION!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I think it's weird that so many people go all Ranty McRantersons over Crocs, but knock yourself out, I say. I'm gonna go on wearing them until they fall apart. And I have them in yellow, red and purple, thank you very much.

I'm not sure I get why anyone would go all Ranty McRantersons over a shoe, but hey, knock yourself out.

Oh my gosh...this was the funniest thing I have heard all year! Great article! I have never owned a pair of those hidious looking fat feet shoes. A applud you for writing this. Well done!
