Crocs Invasion Continues
Patty and I were in Gatlinburg, Tennessee a few months ago. We were walking along the Parkway enjoying the weather and the scenery when we happened upon this store front window. There in the showcase was a variety of multicolored Crocs, A/K/A the ugliest ass shoes ever made.
Now I'm not hating, I just cannot understand the appeal of these shoes. Unless you worked in the circus and wore a bright colored red wig with a red bulb nose and painted your face and known by the carnival name Bozo, then you have no business wearing Crocs. Seriously, where the hell else are you going to wear rounded orange plastic shoes with holes in them with no back to them?
P.T. Barnum was right when he said there's a sucker born every minute.
LURKING ON THE GRASSY KNOLL
Those are ugly shoes. If you walked into a bar wearing those, you better be prepared to fight your way out.
ReplyDeleteAren't those childrens shoes?
ReplyDeleteThey seem to be popular amongst the sandal fans, nurses, and kiddos. I tried one pair on at the store once and while they were very comfie, they are very ugly too. lol!

Ugly is too nice a word.
I have a confession to make but hear me out before you judge.
ReplyDeleteI have two pairs of croc flip-flops.
One is for gardening and the other for camping. They are hideous but they are comfy as hell and easy to clean.
Would I be caught dead in them in public?
Never!

Well OK then. Ten minutes after Patty and I saw them in Gatlinburg in the showcase, we noticed several people wearing them on the parkway. Seriously, lime green crocs with purple long shorts.
I believe Richard Simmons is behind the Croc movement.
ReplyDeletecrocs ... the best cure for fresh smelling feet
ReplyDeletelesbians were early adopters ... this should have told the rest of the world to steer well clear, since by and [often] latge, lesbians are n0t known for impeccable dress sense. myself excluded, naturally.
i have no crocs.
I agree, can't find anything appealing in them. Except perhaps the comfort, but I won't ever have a chance to experience it because of their looks...
ReplyDeleteIf you had a herniated disk, you would be proclaiming your love for Crocs...or for Earth Shoes (negative heel) tennis shoes. I was in horrible pain and my Crocs & Earth Shoes gave me my life back. I don't care if every other person on the face of the earth thinks they're ugly - they're comfortable and they help my back. Even my back surgeon wears them. Also, I don't mind what they look like, but even if I did, I just don't care.
ReplyDeleteI make everyone wear them in hell. Puke green of course is the choice of colors.
ReplyDeleteI was a hater once they came out... I also said I would never wear those, but my best friend who happened to be my roomate at the time, got them to wear at home. I was literally forced to try them out in the privacy of our house and have to admit, they are the best slippers I've ever worn. Ever since I am a proud owner of crocs, but I never wear them to public places... Ever!
ReplyDeleteYou are one of thousands of Croc lovers who say the same thing. I'm not disputing the comfort, but the style.
