Posted: 4/26/07 at 8:30pmUgliest shoes on earth... and the most comfortable. Seriously, why is that? I don't own them and probably never will, but I'm not gonna lie- they're really comfy!

Posted: 4/26/07 at 8:32pmCan anyone answer the foot sweating question?
#27re: crocs - comfortable must-have or fashion faux-pas?
Posted: 4/26/07 at 8:34pmI don't know about the foot sweating, but I can say that I abhor Crocs. I saw a Mary Jane pair in a magazine yesterday, and I wanted to end my life. Make the horrible fashion choices stop!

Posted: 4/26/07 at 9:32pmCrocs offend my sensibilities. I think they are the most hideous, god awful shoe EVER.

Crocs are rather awful. But I do advocate Birkenstock mules.

Posted: 4/26/07 at 9:46pmThey are the most hideous shoes ever. And I love them. I'm wearing a pink pair right now, but I also have orange, black and red. On days when I'm teaching three classes and I have to stand lecturing on and on, its nice to not have to worry about foot comfort. Plus, like some babies, they are so ugly that they have morphed right on into cute.

Posted: 4/26/07 at 9:48pmshira, I have three pairs! I wore uniforms in high school, and those were the only shoe exceptions we were allowed. They are SO comfortable.

I don't normally like Birkenstocks, but those look pretty cool, shira.

Posted: 4/26/07 at 9:59pmI've gone through many pairs. I've been in withdrawal for a couple years. I'm spending my summer at home in LA, and plan on purchasing at LEAST 2 pairs. They DO have to be broken in, but they're AMAZING. I started off with BabyBirks, so its just normal for me!

Posted: 4/26/07 at 10:05pmI tried the ballet flat crocs (primas) and I didn't like them. They're cute and all, but my foot kept slipping out of them and they made the most GOD awful farting noise as I walked around my house. I wound up returning them.

Posted: 4/26/07 at 10:10pmI like my Crocs (baby blue), but I only wear them to rehearsal or the beach/pool. Or to do laundry.

Posted: 4/26/07 at 10:19pmOh, I can now share with you all how much I destest these shoes. Actually thinking about them is making me see red. So I'm going to stop now.

CROCS: Ugliest shoe ever.

But the Mickey Crocs are really cute. (okay, only on little kids.)
Pretty pretty please don't you ever ever feel like you're less than f**ckin' perfect!

Posted: 4/27/07 at 9:40ama Faux Pas. They go into the same category as Uggs.

Posted: 4/27/07 at 9:53amI read an article about them recently that stated anyone who wears them consistently can expect some major back problems in later life (for one reason or another).

I think Crocs are pretty fugly. I personally won't wear them, but I can see them being very functional in certain situations - they are probably good for gardening, for hospital workers, camp counselors, etc.
But they are hideous to look at!

son_of_a_gunn, that is one of the best responses I have read on this silly board.
If I still had my rose garden, I would definitely own a pair.

I have a cheap imitation pair from Target, and I have to admit they're comfy....however, I only wear them to garden and mow the lawn. They're also the perfect shoes to wear to a waterpark or the beach, but I don't think I could stand to wear them all the time. There really is nothing flattering about them.
They are all the rage among my elementary school kids right now. I've seen everything from solid black to rainbow tie-dye. And then they decorate them with these little jewels and charms.

I hate crocs (the look at least)... It reminds me of all those over-sized Tweety Bird/Taz/Minnie Mouse shirts middle-America seemed compelled to wear for years.
I must admit, I wear UGLY shoes that are the most comfortable things I have ever worn.
Nike Free shoes emulate the sensation of walking in bare feet. They were designed for runners, but I suggest you all run to Footlocker and try them on.
The designs are ugly, but if you go to the Nike.com site you can design a pair for $100, kinda cool. I even made all black sneakers I wear with dress clothes.

Those actually don't look too bad to me.
The ones I really had are those sneaker-looking things that are sandals. I'd rather have a croc shopping spree than have to own one pair of those. But I really don't like having any part of my foot exposed to the sidewalk slime in New York, anyway.
