I would never have my child sport this ugly fashion!! I've seen much cuter shoes and sandals that are comfortable I'd rather buy. Oh and even my mother heck even my grandmother has better fashion sense than that! Cute on small kids you say? I would never have my child sport this ugly fashion!!

Personally, I think the fashion gurus are just as guilty of ugly clothing as the people they transform. A prime example is the American version's obsession with the pointy shoe. They're impractical, unflattering and insanely ugly. Yet you continue to stuff your piggies into orifices that are way too minuscule for them to fit into. If Freud were alive, he'd have plenty of material based on the self-torture inflicted by these witchy beasts. Damn you, "Sex and the City"! And yeah.. There's a very good reason these Australian sheepskin boots are called "Uggs," and just by looking at them, you'll figure it out. ME, TARZAN. YOU, BOOT -- UGGS The ugliest and the STUPIDEST shoes are pointy shoes and the “Uggs”.

I can understand why some blind, naive people may wear them to the beach, the pool or gardening or at the hospital. But come on! stop with the lame excuses to try to convert others to wear them. "Oh there sooo comfy" "There cheap". Ya you know what else is cheap? This adorable pair of flat shoes I bought that are black and kind of cute yet dressy and they were only 29 dollars at payless! and there comfy! and don't look like monstrous ugly pieces of crap. Crocs are growing epidemic that needs to be stopped. There is no logical reason to wear these ugly pieces of crap in a formal public setting with a nice outfit. Why not just wear garbage bags tied on your feet, there just as attractive. Will call them "Garcs" Crocs are not appropriate shoe wear for public outings, especially in an formal office, bank or decent public forum.

They are equal-opportunity! And cheap! So you can wear them if you are very young, very old, very rich, very poor, male, female, injured, healthy, weird, normal, whatever! Beauty is subjective. I know this post is futile and I'll shortly be torn apart by Croc-hating fashionistas. I just thought I'd share some of the appealing characteristics that draw people to these fugly (so fugly they're cute?...maybe!) shoes. Here are several beautiful features of Crocs:

They contain no animal products, so are an excellent option for vegetarians/vegans/conscientious consumers;
