Nay on the crocs!  I think they’re so ugly.

Nay… except on occasion for art teachers, boaters, gardeners, and health care professionals.  My sister has a pair in beige for gardening and that’s tolerable.  I prefer my flip flops while gardening, though, and I can’t bring myself to pay money for such ugly shoes.  I dislike clogs in general.  The new styles of Crocs, like the ballet flat style, look much better than the clogs in the ads I’ve seen, but I’ll have to see them in person before I pass final judgement.

Nay!  I can’t stand those things especially on men.  Yuk!  I don’t care how compfy they are they’re ugly.

NAY.  It took me a long time to even agree to put my toddler in them and i only relented because little ones cannot wear thongs and its too hot for sneakers in the summer.

And to everyone who says they are comfie-fashion is about looks, otherwise we would all wear moomoos.

Never, Never, Never Ever!

Now, up until a couple of months ago, I would have been a “nay.” But, with some recently diagnosed podiatric issues, I love them! These are the only shoes, other than *one* model of sneaker, that I can wear without wanting to cry by the end of the day, so…I’ll sacrifice style for comfort, in this instance.

I agree with all the nays. They are uglier than an oklahoma bowling shoe!

Yay on the fact that they are comfortable. I were mine once in a while. I work on my feet so putting them on on my days off feels great. They are a darn sight prettier than those jellies of about 20 years ago! The heck with fashion when its all about comfort.

“regular crocs” - Nay
Mary Jane crocs - yeah

Nay!!!!!! I HATE Crocs! There are lots of comfy shoes out there that aren’t ugly. I have some Clark’s sandals that are just so comfortable, but they are also ok to wear to work in an office and are not made of plastic.

I love my crocs, yes, they are ugly I agree, but for puttering around the house and yard or going to the beach they are WONDERFUL.  I do not wear them to work, (I work in the Healthcare field) but they sure are comfy.

NAY!  Only on little kids - my 3yr old and 9 yr old boys look adorable in them and they are easy to wash mud off of but I will not wear them…

nay, nay, nay, nay, NAY! i know ppl who have bought not one, but two pairs for everyone in their family! everyone knows your together. sort of like wearing, “johnson family reunion 2007” t-shirts at a theme park. :) and i agree w/ a previous poster—don’t run in them. i have heard of folks rolling their ankles because they were trying to get some place little too quickly and oops! not a chance.

ugh, and i know that these have been out for a few years, but i live in a small town so even when the trend is over in most towns it’ll still be cycling through here for at least a year. yippee ...

Before you say nay to Crocs, check out their “Prima” style.  The “Prima” Croc has all the benefits and comfort the ugly ones do, but they are ballet flats!

Crocs…yuck, yuck,yuck. You might also wear them if you were insane.

nay. obviously.
However, clearly the Budget Fashionista is preaching to the choir when expressing her dislike for Crocs.
People who read and respond to fashion blogs are not the ones who need convincing of the horror of these repelling things.
  Additionally, I do share various reader’s impatience with those that insist on being ‘comfortable’ above all else. A little bit of formality and decorum (footwear, clothing and civility to others, most importantly) should be restored to this wildly varied yet sometimes tacky cultural pastiche of America.

Definitly a NAY. How does one think that a plastic shoe made for gardening should be worn out in public? To me this goes along with women who shop with curlers in their hair. I can’t imagine any self respecting man wearing these either. I’ve read the other comments and I’m sure they’re comfy, but so are many other things that people don’t and shouldn’t wear in public. There has to be a better choice for comfy easy to wear shoes than these hideous beasts.

The original get a hearty “Nay!” from me.  The Mary Jane style of crocs are better, but still ugly.  Some of the styles of sandals they offer aren’t ugly, but I wouldn’t wear them since they aren’t cute either.

I wear mine (black, with no holes) mostly when out in the backyard to play with my dogs.  I will wear them around town on rainy days when running errands.  I don’t give a flp what anyone thinks of them when I wear them.

they are not too practical

You know, I’d say NAY…but since I’ve tried them on, I’ve become a big ol’ Yay-er.
Besides, since the fashion world wasn’t digging the clogs, Crocs went on and made some fashion forward styles that we all can agree on.  Have you seen the Prima flats? Like most ballet flats, they’re cute-but unlike most, they have arch support (which is a big YAY) and heel support as well.  They make these cute wedges and some mary jane styles that I wear for work as a makeup artist….Of course I have those terrible clogs (in hot pink, nonetheless) but I am just suckered into the ugly by the comfy.
So as far as Crocs go, I am going to have to give them a gigantic YAY.

They are horrid!! Everytime I see someone wearing them I cringe. Nayyyyyyy!

As a highschooler, I must say that winter ‘05/spring of ‘06 these were popular with all of us who ran track and cross country, but even now, I don’t think I’ve seen a single pair since then aside from the 6 year old I babysit! I myself was never into them, the only function they served was so I could walk in my “spikes” at the meets and not damage them because I pulled the crocs on over them. It’s SO appalling too after taking a trip to NYC and Boston, fashion capitals, to see sleek women running around in Armada and such, but wait, with bulky CROCS on their feet?? tsk tsk and a big NAY!

I hate crocs. they are my biggest pet peeve. They make my skin crawl. Kids can wear them with their adornments, but grown men and women need to recycle them. I don’t know why but they really disturb me.

Crocs are awful, made worse by those who wear socks with them! The bright colored ones are the absolute worse!! Plastic shoes look so cheap, no matter how allegedly comfortable they may claim to be. Oh by the way, Crocs are not that cheap in price. There are so many attractive comfortable shoes in the marketplace today, why not purchase those!
