Yea or Nay: Crocs
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.

Other than the sheer ugliness factor, all I can think of when I see someone wearing Crocs is “foot sweat.”
Didn’t plastic shoes go out with the 1980’s? Nuff said.
LOL you are so right…I think they are hideous. I refuse to buy them for my 10 year old!
A carbuncle on the face of fashion! If you want clogs, go to Hanna Andersson and make an investment in well made, good for your feet classic Scandinavian foot wear. Leave the Crocs. They’ll only end up in a land fill.
Those tips are sooo true. I think that Crocs make you like kinda dorky if you wear them with your everyday outfit. its cool to be comfortable but, pain is plessure and being cute isn’t easy! lol
These have to be the ugliest shoes known to man.
Yea to Crocs: I love the comfort. I have a pair of fleece-line crocs and they feel wonderful on my feet, especially after a long day with a pair of heels on. Yes, they are ugly, ya-da, ya-da, ya-da, but to each his/her own. It does not matter what others think when I am wearing them, it’s either my comfort or someone else’ thoughts. I would not wear them out as everyday shoes, though.
Anyone remember “jellies” from the 80s? I think Crocs are the 21st century version of that atrocious shoe! Ugly, unfashionable, and way too suburban for my taste. Besides, who really wants a shoe that makes your feet look 3 sizes larger than they really are??
nay! why would a grown adult want to look like a garden gnome? and for the comfort factor, i have a pair of anne klein loafers that *incredibly* comfortable and fashionable. there is no excuse.

Yes for kids, NO for adults.
Not my style.
I used to say nay to these shoes but I have become a convert to them for theses purposes only: 1.)gardening (which is what I believe they were originally made for) and,2.)going to the dog park (translates into can wash off the poo-poo easily if you step in some). Unlike other water proof shoes, you can actually use a shovel to dig a hole for planting new plants.
