I would like to wear Crocs
July 22nd, 2007
I know everyone thinks these shoes are heinous, and I guess they kind of are… to look at. Still. I think wearing them would be totally comfy. If I lived in a region where no one was fashionable and all I had to do all day was walk around the town/beach/forest/desert/my car, etc. I would be wearing Crocs 24/7. I’d have all the colors of Crocs, and I’d probably post pictures of me in Crocs on my blog. That car would have to be really big, too, so I’d also post pics of that.
People would be like “Hey, did you read Croc Girl’s blog today?” and their friends would say “Of course. What a fool! Killer blog though.”
I’m not going to do it or anything. This is just to state that I really want to. Whatever. Bite me!

Rosie always wears crocs. We got coupons to get free ones when we saw The View, but then I like, lost it.
But I know what you mean, I’ve been having those thoughts exactly since I first laid eyes on them.

I have green ones. You need to add “if I had a profession that has no sense of professionalism” to your conditions for croc wear-age. Sometimes, I wear a shirt and tie (which in education is apparently REALLY dressy) and crocs to finish off the look.

have known people (in nyc!!) who wear them and am pro-croc, but haven’t been able to do it myself…

Ha! Rosie and Mario Batali are my fashion heroes so who knows why I’m NOT wearing Crocs already?
Riggity, that’s adorable! But you have an excuse: Children enjoy items that are brightly colored and/or rubber. I think we found something you can do in NYC in order to get on DR. (Wear green Crocs.)
Katy, I’m seriously considering changing the entire agenda of this blog from “nothing” to “pro-Croc”

My dad sported a dark green pair last week in Mexico. I made fun of him to no end, but he stuck by them and went on and on about how comfortable they are. To each his own, I suppose! I find them, in a word, god-awful.

Not going to lie I have a powder blue pair that I love! While the color may be a bit loud, especially when I paired them with a black suit for work last summer, they are incredibly comfortable. Basically after running around a hotel in heels for 8 hours you don’t care how offensive they are. They fix the pain!

Crocs tend to hurt my toes and they always feel like they’ll fall off my feet, but I just found out that you can personalize your crocs with little sticker type things that fit into the holes. They’re called jibbitz and, despite the pain, I might just have to start wearing crocs simply because of this incredible invention (uh hello RHINESTONES!!)…check it out http://www2.jibbitz.com/ and they have a blog!!

K2, hilarious. They’re probably even worse if they’re on your dad. (I love you dad!)
Kate — I know! I remembered yours, and I’d hoped I wasn’t offending you with this post. I thought you were so kickass for wearing them. Reasonable, even.
Who else thinks esbeerod works for jibbitz!
Blythe, you are so “alternative.” Those look like a way cooler form of Tevas. I should do a post on all the Teva-esque shit I used to wear in junior high/high.

remember nike sandals? did you have puma soccer flip floppy things with little rubber things poking into your feet? HIGH SCHOOL!!!

i just threw up a little in my mouth.

Those were the worst! Cute enough, but my god they hurt my feet. Plus I don’t care for soccer. I was a huge fan of the Nike ones with minimal strappage. Just the one thick band near the toes. I am grossing myself out even typing this.
ADOLESCENCE!!!

I do not understand the question and I won’t respond to it.
