I don’t like Crocs. I’m sure they’re comfy and my doctor friends swear by them, but there’s just something about the shoes that I just don’t like. Plastic clogs? Weren’t leather clogs bad enough?
Here’s the only people who should wear crocs:
- Sailors, Deck Hands, and other people who work on a boat.
- Gardeners, pool boys, and others who work outside and get wet
- Doctors, nurses, and other folks who work in the health care industry
- Kindergarten teachers, art teachers, and other who work near paint
- K-8 kids heading to camp
- Martha Stewart
Everyone else, leave them in the store.
Yea or Nay: Crocs?

Yea! They are SOOO comfortable and I think they are cute! I have three pairs and my kids each have two… my husband even has a pair. These are not about trying to be ‘fashionable’, but about fun and comfort. I do wear them to work, as I teach special ed. in a middle school. I would no sooner take fashion advice from Martha Stewart than I would take stock tips from her, but JMHO.
Nay. I understand they are comfy, but they are pretty darned ugly. It’s fine for chores around the house, but honestly, that’s about it.
As a nurse I like crocs. They are very comfy especially after working a 16 hours shift.
As a regular person I hate it when I see people wearing crocs. They don’t match with anything!!! People wake up your shoes are fugly!
Nay, nay, nay!! How did Crocs become so popular? They may be comfortable, but they are oh-so-ugly. My pajamas are comfortable, too, but I don’t wear them around town. Crocs are the unisex jelly-shoe of the 21st century. Eww. Men look even more ridiculous in them than women.
Nay, Nay, Nay and Nay.. these things are atrocious.. I don’t care if they are comfortable, they look like gardening shoes.. They are ok for little kids if anything.. but I think adults wearing them look absolutely ridiculous and very fashion disabled.
A very hearty NAY!!!!!!!!!! they are quite hideous!!!!!!!!!! only children under the age of 5 look cute in them.
NAY! They are AWFUL. Tiny little kids can get away with them (all little shoes are cute!), but no one else.
Thank you! I just don’t get the craze with them. Now, I’m sure they are comfortable but you can be comfortable and stylish in something else.
Bad! Ewwww! Nay!
Crocs are fugly.
I’ve been wearing them for three years now and I’m not giving them up any time soon…They are comfortable,they stay clean very nicely and I like em…If Martha doesn’t want to wear them, she doesn’t have to….
Yea, but like you said, only when I’m working in the garden.
It never dawned on me to wear them, like, “out.”
like a horse, NAY NAY NAY
I have ONE pair of crocs that are extremely comfortable and not (that) ugly. they are thongs and they have a fabric strap. NOT the big plastic strap. they are much more streamlined than the regular crocs styles.

One major thing that irks me is their selection of loud-a** colors. How ‘bout something subdued?
What do you think of the other styles they have released that are more streamlined than the regular clog style?
Crocs are super-ugly. I don’t care how comfortable they are, they make your feet look like huge clown feet. Besides that, they look “cheap”.
Nay…Nay…Nay…I can’t say that enough and there’s nothing more to say.
The only Crocs I like are ones for little kids and babies. Those are cute. Adult crocs are just hideous!
Hideous. Even worse than Uggs. I can’t tell you how much I hate these shoes. They are tacky and ugly. I don’t care how comfortable they are. They will never be stylish.
Nay. Especially when they are pink.
Don’t forget children’s librarians! lol. Before Crocs became popular and unavoidable, I bought three pairs of lightweight EVA clogs with a remvoable suede insole from a nursing supply website, allheart.com. They’re comfy, easy to clean, cool and give good arch support. And I got them 2 for $20. ($24 if you chose the ones with straps.) They’re not fashionable or very stylish, but I try to make up for it with the rest of my accessories. *smirk*
crocs aren’t made of plastic or rubber, but something called “PCCR” which i think is a type of foam. supposedly eliminates odors and prevents sweating. i recently held a croc for the first time and they are literally light as a feather. so now i see why people are wearing them, but i still say NEA cuz they are ugly as sin :)
NAY. NAY NAY NAY.
and i rarely use all caps.
rafters have special permission to wear them, too. but no one else.
and especially not with white athletic socks, which i see often. cringe!
Have you ever heard the expression “so ugly they’re cute”? I have always had a strange attraction to “ugly” shoes and Crocs are no execption. They are amazingly comfortable. I mostly use mine as house shoes, but I can see how the colors would be a fun way of expression for healthcare people.
I heard recently that hospitals are banning Crocs because:
a)The holes are really unsanitary…apparently “fluid” can get in and that’s not good.
b)Hospital workers are increasingly getting ankle injuries because they are trying to run down hallways in shoes not meant for running
c)Crocs carry an electrical charge that can short neonatal monitoring equipment.
So….Crocs are not just a no for “everyone but…” they’re just a NO.
NAYYYY! Since the very day I laid eyes on them. My poor little suburban cousin wants some. :( They are not fashionable at all, but some of the variations I’ve seen in magazine ads lately look comfortable, functional and dare I say, a little wear-able (such as the sandals).
