I like them for outdoor activities involving dirt or water - they are great at the beach.  I go to beaches in New England (rocky, not sandy) so they stay on my feet while protecting me from heat and stones.  I love the fun colors too.  I think they are a bit clunky but for the price (I have croc-offs) they work for me rather than more expensive and more athletic Teva-esque sandals.

nay nay NAY! Plastic shoes??? Come on! They are beyond ugly. I don’t care how comfortable they are. I wouldn’t wear them.

definitely nay!! EWWWW this is one trend that needs to go away ASAP!!

My LITTLE boy and LITTLE girl have them - and they are both under 6.  We live on the Beach and we have and excuse to own them. Little feet get hot on the sand! They do not wear them in place of dress shoes and they do not wear them in place of sneakers.
ADULTS should not wear them.  Plain and simple - that is a fashion don’t and you are just plain giving up on yourself if you are wearing them instead of a cute pair of kitten sandals or open toe mule slides.

Nay…I used to work at this Hallmark brand store for a few months and I never got the appeal.  I wore a pair around for a few hours and did not like them one bit. But the mass public loves them. We sold them for almost forty dollars and they would sell like hot cakes! We also sold something called “Jibbitz” that were around $2.50 a piece.  People could put them in the Crocs and spell words or use the ones that had symbols on them.

They may be ugly but they are the most comfortable shoes on earth. I have over 25 pairs in my closet. I can speak with some authority because I am a teacher and stand on my feet all day. I wore my crocs from October till April everyday and for the first time in 13 years I did not have back or heel problems. However, Corcs is addressing the ugly factor and putting out a line of high fashion shoes with the same comfort technology starting in July. Perhaps you might wait to pass judgement till they are on the market :)

Love them, VERY ATTRACTIVE!!! For those haters out there, I think stilletos and high heels of any kind are fugly. So, for all of you manolo lovers out there, those make me want to retch!!!!

wow, such impassioned responses about crocs.  Do we really need to ask this question???  all styles of crocs are ugly and unfashionable, QED.

Ok, I have to say I love them. I have arch problems, and I do say they are comfy, although ugly as hell. But then again, many things are. The one drawback, my feet sweat sooo very badly when I wear them, even with socks. They sit in my closet next my running shoes and my Steve Madden heels….

I’ve never seen or tried them on them in real life, believe it or not. Won’t the plastic hurt your feet? I mean, plastic is a tough material?

Purchased the cleo for my boyfriend’s mom and she love it! They are really comfy and light for her especially shes on her feet alot.  If I would to pick a pair for myself, I would go with the thong style.

here’s a link for the cleo:

nay.  i just can’t see paying even $10 bucks at wal-mart for a pair of these… and then they came out with ones in the ugliest swirl color mixes…
but i do agree with u on the list of those that should be allowed to wear them, although… well, they are full of holes. if u are around water alot, wouldn’t u want shoes that do not have so many holes? or maybe i am just not around water much….

NAY!!! Crocs are uglier than Uggs (don’t even get me started), and what’s more hideous, men, women, and children of all ages wear them out as if they are an acceptable footwear alternative. Going camping? Get some river shoes. At home? Wear slippers. Going out? Put some damn shoes on please!

Nay! I did not like it from the moment I saw it.

ewwwwwwwwww crocs! on little kid’s they are kind of cute, but only slightly. never ever to a fasion show (cough, cough Jared Let) if you simply must wear crocs wear them when you are gardening or wear the little flats. those are kind of cute. also, what’s even worse than crocs?
Camo crocs. you shouldn’t wear camo crocs unless you are hunting, perhaps for crocidiles.

They are hardly attractive, but I do wear the Beach and Cayman styles for gardening and puttering around the house.  Note that I am a nurse and while I do see a lot of my co-workers wearing Crocs, they don’t offer much foot protection.  If one requires protection and slip resistance, Crocs are far from ideal footwear.  But, for gardening or a day at the beach, they really can’t be beat.

Definitely yea to the crocs. Sometimes comfort wins out. I wear mine with flair jeans, so it’s not like you can see the whole shoe anyway. But if you think that is bad you will really trip when you see what I have been wearing lately. I have been wearing the curves leg toning sandals from Avon. They are like a knock off of the MBT sneakers.

These sandals are definitely more comfortable than the crocs, and they are toning my legs, abs, and butt at the same time.

TBF, have you tried these out? What about the fit flops..Have you done a review on those? I would like to know your opinion on this new line of workout footwear.

I hate those big clunky looking crocs as well…....but have you seen the new Prima style?  The look like ballet flats, come in a variety of colors and are super comfortable…....they also are perfect for rainy days…....

So glad I am not in the minority thinking they are a big NAY. They’re the kind of ugly that makes me almost break out in hives. Totally grotesque, no matter how comfy. Also, I can’t see how the ones with the holes could be good for people who work around any liquids—blood, kitchen grease, paint, or otherwise. How could it be beneficial to wear shoes that allow that stuff to get on your feet, or on your (shudder) white socks?

I live in Florida and EVERYONE wears them year round here. I can’t believe how much they cost (for plastic shoes) and people buy them! I would never wear them, nor would my son or husband. I do think Crocs look cute on kids and at the beach.

This may be a bit off topic…But!!!

Crocs are not safe! I am recovering from a 4 day stint in the hospital because of my croc Mary Janes :(
The problem is they grip too well and adults and children have been falling. In mt case I tripped in my yard. The shoes stayed put, but my body didn’t! I went airborne and hit the ground I then slide in to my wooden fence and took out a board with my head. You can giggle and I won’t be offended, because it sounds really funny! I then proceeded to get up assuming I was fine and too the contrary I wasn’t. My head was swollen to the size of the elephant man. I rushed myself to the hospital only to pass out in the ER parking lot.

The fuuny thing is I was warned I didn’t listen to my neighbor who told me three days prior to my fall that this would happen if I kept wearing my Crocs. he’s a dentist who’s treated several kids who knocked their teeth out from trips and falls.

Luckily I came away with a concussion a really bad one. So, I said all this babble to say….Throw those darn shoes out and please take them off your children!

I wore crocs during the last two snowy months of my pregnancy, because my feet had swelled up over four sizes larger than my normal 9.5! The only other shoes that fit were my husbands flip flops. But, now I just look at them in my closet and shutter. At least I can blame it on the horomones, but I really can’t understand why other people like them so much. I’ll probably keep them, “just in case” for the next pregnancy, but I would not choose to wear them if it wasn’t absolutely necessary.

crocs are the best shoes anyone can wear. they are so easy to clean that you can just put them in the dishwasher if you really wanted to get them squeky clean. i wear crocs 24-7. they are more comfy than any shoe. you can wear them anywhere. they are just like sneakers but you can get them wet. i don’t see how people can’t wear them. they match with anything. and to the people who had -accidents- with them, it was probably because you weren’t paying attention. me and my brother have been wearing them since they came out and we haven’t had any injuries.

HUUUUGE nay, unless you really have to! They look way too tacky and cheap.

crocks are so UGLY it is not even funny how does people stand to wear them much less look at them my child came home from a friends house with a pair (they went shopping) i made har take them back :O
