Crocs-I believe now too!

katbuad · 07-15-2008, 11:19 AM

I know, I am the only person on the planet that hasn't discovered the wonders of Crocs. . . but I just couldn't fathom paying that much money for a pair of (ugly) rubber shoes.

Was at the mall this weekend and lucked up on a slightly pretty pair of red Crocs for half off. The mark down put them in my price range. They are so comfortable! I don't want to take them off.

How about it guys, love them or hate them? It seems Crocs can bring out some strong feelings among folks!

I don't have any and I haven't tried them on either. But my kids love them. Well, DD at least. That is pretty much all she wears in the summer. They are so nice b/c she can get them on and off herself.

I love them! My DD loves them too. We just bought her third pair. We bought the black alice!

I have the Airwalk version and love them!! I would like to get the MaryJane version, the one in your picture, but until I also find them on sale...Im sticking to the knock offs

My daughter wears them, but I never have. I'm still in the stiletto phaze.

Oooh, I like the red!
My kids have them, hubby JUST discovered them and loves them. I do not have any. For me, I'm a flip flop type of gal, when I do wear shoes. I just don' t like having my toes restricted!

I think they're ugly and have no plans to try them on (lest I be involuntarily converted to their "greatness"), sorry lol. I hear they make your feet sweaty and stinky.

hahahahah, YAY, someone on my side!!

But in all fairness, they have come out w/ some newer styles that are at least fashionable (i.e. mary janes). When I got my wedding dress I joked w/ Fiance that I was just going to get some crocs. He (jokingly) threatened to call off the wedding!!

I think most any shoe worn barefoot will make your feet sweaty and stinky, though.

I don't have any myself, but my youngest daughter does. I had to get her some when she broke her big toe at age 3, and with the swollen foot she couldn't wear anything she owned. I went looking for cheap at target and their knockoffs were it. Now they actually fit both her feet, 9 months later. OK, so I'm admitting that we saw them as "orthotic" shoes. They protected her little piggies and that's what mattered. I'm not crazy about the look for adults as much though.

They actually do make my feet sweat, but Im a dork and wear them with socks when I wear them for longer periods. Most of the time I wear them to grab the mail or at the pool. But the are comfy
