Praise the bumfuck backwater that is my existence, I’ve never seen a pair of Crocs that I am aware of. Or Birkenstocks. And I ain’t paying $100 for any Air nothing. And I can’t even find a store in town that has Vans. My favorite comfortable shoes are $29 Dr. Scholl’s “Matrix” in black, but fucking Wally World evidently only had one pair of them so I don’t know what I’ll be wearing next time I need shoes.

What the hell is wrong with a pair of vans? I dont fall under the category of skater/punk rocker/whatever that wears these,and I have a pair. Theyre comfy and they look nice with jeans etc.
Am completely with you on the crocs though, absolutely rotten shoes!
[QUOTE=FisherQueen]
The first time I saw a pair of Crocs, on a dear friend, I thought they were breathtakingly ugly.
I still think that they’re the most aggressively unattractive shoes I’ve ever seen.
[/QUOTE]
I dunno, these aren’t too bad. I like the Crocs that I do have because they are super comfy to wear to work, and quiet on the floor. (I’m a librarian)
When my littlest was in the hospital last year, almost every nurse I saw was wearing the fully enclosed kind in white.

Crocs: Ventilation holes or not, who wouldn’t enjoy a summer day with their feet crammed into waterproof, air-tight, zero arch support, colorful chunks of hard rubber?

You’ve obviously never put your feet in a pair.
Mr. Athena once thought the same thing you did. When his bestest oldest friend showed up to visit us with a pair of Crocs on, Mr. Athena wasted no time letting him know how utterly silly they were. Even though the friend wore conservatively dark green Crocs, Mr. Athena took every opportunity to give him grief.
I, on the other hand, tried on Mr. Bestest-Oldest Friend’s wife’s Crocs, and went out and bought a pair the week after they left. Then came a day where Mr. Athena had to run outside to do something or other, and my Crocs were handily right next to the door. They didn’t fit, but he stuck his feet him them anyway and went “Oooooh…”
Next thing you know, he’s wearing a pair of bright red Crocs. With happy sunshine decorations in the holes, and peace signs. He’s a 50 year old, ex-Harley Rider, weight lifter, and ex-Conservative Republican. If he can do it, anyone can.

You will get my Birkenstock clogs when you pry them from my cold, dead feet. They give my ingrown-toenail-prone feet plenty of room, protect my toes from further injury, and last forever. I don’t give a rat’s ass what anybody thinks my shoes say (including that I must be a lesbian to wear them, hardy har har). They’re comfortable and I like them.

Rah!
I wear my Birks constantly (only with socks when I fly, I admit).
I, however, am a Lesbian trapped in a man’s body (to steal an old joke)

My name is Bobo, I carry a gun and I wear Crocs
[/QUOTE]
Believe me, nobody is going to laugh at your crocs when they see the gun.
[QUOTE=Bobotheoptimist]
(sometimes with white socks), but I’m the only person I know that thinks they are uncomfortable. This is primarily due to my destroyed arches that generally require $250 insoles that provide all the comfort of having a walnut in your shoe but without the searing pain of other shoes.
[/QUOTE]
So you wear the crocs without your insoles? I’m probably about 5-10 years late in getting new arch supports. I don’t like wearing any footwear without it, although I once had a pair of Merrill sport sandals that had decent support.

I really want a pair of crocs. And a gun.
[/QUOTE]
They’re not really conducive to insole usage, but they are good for wearing in the canoe or as slippers for a quick trip outside. The material is fairly non-slip and is supposed to be bacteria and odor resistant.
I’ve seen the little black ballet flats on someone before. I had no idea.
LPN: glances down Hey, those are some adorable shoes! Her: They’re Crocs! LPN: dumbfounded You’re joking…
Apparently not. They’re really cute worn.
My mother adores bright colors and is on her feet all day long. She has knee problems and gets very warm very easily. She swears by her Crocs. She has them in every obnoxious color you can think of, but no Croc-flair.
I do not wear them. I have a pair of Chacos (like sliiiightly more stylish Tevas. Slightly.) and a pair of black leather quite adorable Roman-looking sandals I alternate between most days. Socks are for chumps in Austin summers.
But I keep almost buying those little ballet flat Crocs…
Crocs with socks.
Crocs with box.

Sorry, Mr. Waverly!
Crocs with Socks are fun, you see!
Here’s a new trick, we can play.
