Unfortunately, I couldn't stop people from buying them or asking if we were going to get anymore. Finally, the last pair was sold to an out-of-town couple. To this day, I still have nightmares...

And yes, they were more expensive. (They are so ugly, someone should pay people to put them on.) And yes, there are french people who wore them. I gave them very sad and disappointed looks whenever I saw them. This may not work with Americans' poor fashion sense, but the french do. not. like. it. at. all. I hope they never wore them in public again. Of course, they were not wearing them with the sloppy, stretched out sweat pants, stained camisoles with visible bra straps, messy hair in ponytails, and the ubiquitous large piece of gum in the mouth while yelling into their cell phones and sucking down a gigantic soda. That is still the domaine of <i>les américaines</i>. Sigh.

These shoes have to be the ugliest things in the entire universe. They remind me of a mix between a plastic Barbie shoe and one of those ugly no slip shoes they wear at the local oil change place. I am usually pretty opened minded in fashion and can find some good in about anything, or at LEAST someone who can pull it off. But Crocs? I have not seen one person who looks good in these; actually I believe they make you less attractive! Manolo from Manolo’s Shoe Blog believes “that when you put the Crocs upon your feet you instantly lose 63 IQ points and 27% of your physical attractiveness.” Kinda of harsh but I think I agree. What do you guys think? Yay or Nay on the Crocs? [...] […] Okay people, I totally do not understand the obsession with Crocs! These shoes have to be the ugliest things in the entire universe.

I had thought that given I live in Aberdeen I would be safe from their nefarious schemes - when its this cold no-one wants shoes with holes in, right? Needless to say I was wrong.

I believe I may have been one of the first to see the Crocs worn by a member of the general population ("what is the world does that grad student have on her feet?"). Perhaps I am partially to blame. Perhaps I should have done more to try to stop it early, but I was afraid to speak up. Now I feel the shame.

Believe me when I say that the clogs are certainly not easy on the eyes. I must admit that the crocs company is at least attempting to make a shoe that doesn't cause immediate loss of sight: <a href="http://shop.crocs.com/pc-109-4-capri.aspx?reqid=109&reqProdTypeId=41p&subsectionname=footwear&section=products" rel="nofollow">http://shop.crocs.com/pc-109-4-capri.aspx?reqid=109&reqProdTypeId=41p&subsectionname=footwear&section=products</a> This will probably get me quite the flogging, but for those who are focused on comfort, they really are extremely comfortable.
