I see these things everywhere and they're right fucking hideous. I saw a woman wearing a pair and she had her two kids wearing them too. They didn't look happy and she should be charged with child abuse. If you wear a pair of these in public it's only fair to warn you that people are laughing at you. Please, keep them at home for gardening where they belong. - Mon, 9 Oct 2006 2:15pm

You're lucky Silas you weren't around in the '70's when they had "earth shoes".

/thinking of sporting galoshes. NOBODY wears them - not even old people anymore. That would be so fuckin cool.

HAHA I fucking HATE Crocs! I remember the first time I saw someone wearing them, I thought they were wearing gardening shoes and I was all "what the fuckkk?". Then I saw more people wearing them and I was like "whoa since when did gardening become REALLY popular?"...

Those shoes are simply hideous, and there should be a law against people wearing them in public.

Now pardon me as I run to the bathroom and barf.... damn I didn't make it! Floor! Fuckin' crocs! - Mon, 9 Oct 2006 8:33pm

Not only are they ugly but they are apparently dangerous! Crocs were on the news with warnings for everyone to watch themselves on escalators, a limb has already been lost! Yikes. Oh about the men wearing sandals comment...I have seen a whole metal band full of guys wearing sandals whilst playing live.... and yes it was painful to observe. - Tue, 10 Oct 2006 6:45pm

I will defend sandals/flip flops to the death. What were the Romans wearing when they killed Jesus? SANDALS. That's fucking black metal as shit to wear those. - Wed, 11 Oct 2006 12:00am

Personally crocs do not appeal to me. However, my two year old wears them an likes them. They are made from this spongy material not unike packing chips making them super lightweight.

No laces, lightweight I can see why a child would like them.

In a town where we allow socks 'n sandals and rubber boots on Douglas street we don't really have any credibility to comment on foot fashion though. - Wed, 11 Oct 2006 1:42pm Edited: Wed, 11 Oct 2006 1:42pm
