Ugly Shoe of the Week

Uglyc_1What do you get when you cross a docksider and a croc? Footwear's worst nightmare, that's what! I know that crocs are comfortable and let you feet breathe and are brilliant if you're on your feet all day, but that doesn't stop them being ugly. And this is taking them even further into fuglydom. Many thanks to Ronnie, who emailed them to me after finding them on eBay.

ps. I love your suggestions, but please stop sending in irregular choice shoes for USOTW. I think I've received every single shoe they make now!

I would wear these while gardening in the summer but never in public. And only if I paid a few dollars for them.

I just saw someone famous , like Madonna or someone like that wearing these! I had a boyfriend once who wore shoes like this, Docksiders is what they're called? And he wanted to get me some just like his! Thanks but no thanks sweetie! They were even ugly on a guy.

These are a take off of duck shoes. first designed for water proof for duck hunters as they hunt ducks in ponds.http://www.llbean.com/webapp/wcs/stores/search?storeId=1&catalogId=1&langId=-1&startRec=1&numWanted=20&loggedIn=0&page_type=&hotBG=0&searchTerms=duck+shoes

The problem is when you wear a specific shoe for something it was not meant for. Then they are ugly although the pics are as why have lace up shoes with holes in them?

This shoe MUST be taken to Bellevue for thinking that is it is actually a shoe, and not a monstrosity. Get some fashion sense into it...STAT!

I agree. About the ugliest shoes I have seen. There's a lot I would wear for comfort, but not those. When I wear boat shoes I opt for Sperry Top-Sider's Bluefish or Portside's. Very comfy and cute but they're still boat shoes.

That shoe looks like it should smell of swamp muck.
