Ugly Shoe of The Week

UglycrocDelias are usually quite good. They're not exactly couture, but if you're looking for young trends on the cheap, their website is usually a good place to start. However, every now and then, something like the 'Crocs' Slide ($32) happens, and the shoe world rolls over and lets out a big sigh. Why, why, why? All those baby steps forward, cancelled out by one biiiiig step back. And stocking it in three colours? Honestly, one was more than enough.

Wow- that's weird that you posted these because I saw them today on delias.com before I came here and thought "Those are hideous." Ick, ick, ick.

Oh! Don't blame those shoes on Delia's! Those are CROCS! Apparantly sold everywhere. Blegh! Delia's just carries the trends. They come in many more colors. I hate them, let me say that first, but the colour I like most is the deep, soft green. (They aren't neon.)

I've actually seen those on PEOPLE! UGH!

You know that wierd acid concoction that spurts up in your mouth every so often and it tastes like the bad cousin of vomit, that is what I experience every time I look at crocs.

I actually bought a pair of these last week in las vegas while I was on vacation. I walked the whole vegas strip in them and they are the most comfortable shoes I have ever worn. They are also machine washable, odor resistent, and they form to your foot after 15 min. of walking in them. Personally they are kinda funny looking but I don't run with what the crowd likes, I take "practical" first ;)

my mom has a pair just like those that she gardens in. she bought them for $5 at sav-on i bet you could just hose the mud off these after you're done gardening...

ugly? yes, but as an OR doctor you will not find a better shoe.

You will never find a more popular shoe with hospital workers! These are everywhere at the hospital I work at and everyone swears they are the most comfortable shoes they have found (even after the long 12 hour shifts we all do!)

OMG!! crocs are my fave shoes ever! i have a couple pairs of them and i love them! they seem liek they are made of heavey plastic, but they are foamy and sooo comfortable! they're not even that ugly ! not the best looking shoes, and i sure didn't buy them for their looks. But what they lack in appearance, it all adds up in comfort! i love them!

One of my teachers wears them EVERY day. It's sickening, me and my friend were actually complaining to each other about them when I found them on here.

crocs rock. a gazillion buyers & wearers can't be wrong. They are comfortable & fun. that's it. No they aren't stylish or fashiony. just comfy & fun.

Posted by: shelly | March 24, 2006 9:25 PM

Ugly? Most definately. BUT they are sooo comfortable! Don't judge a book by it's cover. These shoes are really good when you need to do a lot of walking or stand up for a long time!

They may be funny looking, but it neber hurts to be a bit quirky and when you actual walk around in them you will converted forever. The comforts worth the odd sideways glance i promise you.

Go on give them a go have a look at http://www.jellyegg.com you know you want to!
