So I’m basically in agreement with the Manalo about the crocs. But they are super comfy (unless you try on a knock off pair at Meijer – eee! those were scary) so they will probably continue to be a staple of american footwear for awhile longer. Not forever mind you, but for awhile.
They should however be religated to anywhere you would wear a flip flop or to small children. Here are some appropriate uses – a garden clog, a shoe to wear after a sport practice, a house slipper, and maybe the nursing profession (not like scrubs are a fashion statement anyway.)
So for those of you who are holding your clogs near and dear to you still, how about dressing them up a bit?
If you hate clogs but like the cute little “buttons” jibbitz makes, they do make some braclets that you can decorate as you like:
And for a more secure crocs shoe, they make an adjustable replacement strap:
i hate crocs too, but those pins are delectable. i really think i should get one of those bracelets, or two, for my next birthday.
Crocs were selling for US$100/pair in Sweden — go figure. I love to cook in them — makes the standing a bit easier on the legs. Last month, I was in my yard, picking some basil for dinner, and started talking to my neighbor across the hedge. He was wearing the same orange Crocs that I was — and loved them. You know, when you have two 40-something year-old white guys wearing something… Well, that trend has truly “jumped the shark”…
Funny mental image of 40′s something men wearing bright orange Crocs talking across a fence. Kind of a TV sitcom type mental image.
I like these Button things too, I found a wicked site called http://www.decorateyourcrocs.co.uk where they offer free P&P and no minimum orders
Crocs are the dumbest thing EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
