I know that Crocs are popular. I know that people all over the country are wearing them. I know kids think they’re cool. But, I didn’t expect to see a man wearing bright orange Crocs today. Yes, it’s true. Bright orange Crocs. Bright orange Crocs on a seemingly manly man. Maybe he is a UF fan. Yeah, that’s it. We’ll pretent he’s a UF fan.
I have tried on a pair of Crocs and they were indeed comfortable, but I ran the idea of owning a pair by some of my friends and they all said, “no!” Now I can say “thank you” for not letting me look like the guy in the bright orange Crocs today.
Update: So, after I posted last night I was reading Fast Company magazine and came across an article about the guys who started the Croc company. I’ve got to give these guys some props for figuring out their business model and continually trying to reinvent themselves so the Croc as we know it isn’t just a passing fad. After reading the article it makes me wonder if I should try one of their new flip-flop models.

May 6th, 2007 at 8:22 pm[…] I’ve become intrigued by Crocs (see my earlier post) recent reinvention of their footwear and a few of my fellow shopgirls own the Croc flips, so I dared to go in search of a Croc that I would actually wear. I was dying to find a pair of the Croc wedge because it looks like something you can wear to the office. I fell in love with this shoe from the Croc Web site, but once I tried it on I knew I couldn’t wear it for any length of time. It was comfortable, but not stable. […]

I can see if you want to use them for gardening or have lower back pains and it just happens to help with your aches, but…they just look like foam clogs. I don’t get it.

If there ever was a poll of the most ugliest shoe, this would get my vote. Is there someone out there who owns a pair? I’d like to know why you bought this, instead of a regular clog sandal. For one, this shoe has holes - not so waterproof isn’t it? Oh, and don’t tell me it’s a sandal, because my feet won’t be able to breathe in it. Bare feet rubbing against rubber - I can smell the stink just by imagining it!
