I own a pair of crocs...I work in the medical field, I wear them because I stand on my feet all day and need something that is comfortable. You would think reading this site that everyone is under the age of 12. It truly shows how ignorant and judgemental people are. I dont expect that this posting will do anything except give you fuel to make yourself feel better by degrading others. Oh and by the way your comment that people only wear crocs to fit into a certain category...what category are you trying to fit into by by telling everyone who buys a certain shoe...like oh say monolo blahniks...that they are following a trend...wake up live your life and stop worrying about everyone elses. okay I am just curious why all of you are so offended by what people you do not even know wear on there feet…did it ever occur to any of you that some people wear them mearly for comfort, or that some people may actually like them?

Plastic is too thin and unflexible. Crocs rule - that is if you do more than just sit around in pain trying to impress others. I (as a busy mom) have much more important things to worry about. Crocs allow me to get everything done in comfort. With age comes wisdom and sore feet. Crocs are a life saver. A few added bonuses: no blood was shed to make these shoes. Saving a life (even that of a lowly cow) seems somehow important to me; I clean my Crocs with Clorox Cleanup (do you people have any idea what kindof germs, pestilence and vermin lurk on your shoes?). Trust me under a microscope - my crocs are a lot prettier than your $200 leather heels! You’ll never catch a plastic person in rubber shoes! Plastic is too thin and unflexible.

Until you have actually slipped a real croc, not a faux croc, on your foot you shouldn't judge the persons wearing them!! They are extremely comfortable & great for quick errands & working in the yard!! That is something you can't do in fancy high priced heels!!

(Alas, I was one of the job seekers.) There was a woman there wearing BRIGHT PINK CROCS. I could not be too unhappy about her fashion choice, though, because it made it so easy for potential employers to make decisions. Croc-wearing persons: NO. Elegant-suit-and-pump-wearing persons: Perhaps. I was at a job fair last week. (Alas, I was one of the job seekers.) There was a woman there wearing BRIGHT PINK CROCS.

And, therefore, depressing. I almost get angry when I see people in them. In fact, I find them so stupidly annoying that I sometimes want to call people out on them. Especially a few weeks ago when I saw a mom and her two kids in matching fluorescent pink crocs. ARGH!!!! I think that my anger is caused not even by the shoe necessarily, but the herd-mentality such annoying trends bring about. On the contrary, Sarah, I think that crocs are pestilence.
