Just when we thought it couldn’t get any worse, Crocs have to bring out the Ithaca sandal. Let’s be honest, they don’t actually look as bad as your usual pair of Crocs, but anyone that’s walked for an hour and a half in flip flops (that would be me, but not Crocs flip flops) will tell you that they should be banned as an item of footwear. Seriously, my left calf seized up and I couldn’t walk. So not only are the Ithacas ugly, but they are also disabling. Nice one, Crocs.

Actor Martin Clunes has clearly got no taste in shoes, as his crocs got him into a spot of trouble with the law recently. It seems his choice of footwear caused some suspicion as to whether he should really be driving.
"The last time I came up to London I was nicked. I'd come up for work - and I got breathalysed. There was a football match on, so Soho was full of riot police."
"I was wearing Crocs, which are deadly on a wet pavements. Anyway, I was walking down the street all over the place, because it was wet and, ad I was skidding down the pavement, I clocked one of these riot police."
At last, the rest of the country are catching up with Shoewawa and realising that Crocs should not be allowed out in public. The Sun reports today that Crocs have been banned in hospitals, but not on terms of good taste – they are actually dangerous. Apparently, static electricity caused by the Crocs have knocked out three pieces of vital equipment in a Swedish hospital and now NHS bosses in Sheffield have banned them over here, with other NHS trusts expected to follow suit. Who thought we’d be taking fashion advice from the NHS?
It seems the Shoewawa ladies aren’t the only people to dislike crocs. After the very funny You Tube video Orla posted yesterday comes a whole article about them in the Daily Mail. Now, I don’t normally take fashion advice from a tabloid newspaper, but I have to whole-heartedly agree with Amanada Platell who says that crocs wearers are ‘auditioning for the part of Krusty the Clowns less fashionable relatives’. The article’s worth reading just for the photo of Jack Nicholson in shorts and crocs. My eyes, my eyes!
Finally, the rest of the world is catching on to how truly horrendous Crocs really are. A trend best left on the feet of impossibly cute kids, never on adults who expect to be taken seriously. Enjoy your hatred shared with this ace little parody.
It had to happen sooner or later, didn't it? Someone had to decide to get all "wacky" on their wedding day, pairing their beautiful gown with a pair of white plastic Crocs - and she's not the only one: it's a trend that seems to be growing in popularity in the world of weddings, although, for the life of me, I have no idea why. These were spotted over at Dreams on a Budget , where the author points out that yes, they may be comfortable, but they're still gardening shoes. Amen to that!
Spotted some Crocs in the wild? Catch them on camera and tell us about them!
If you're anything like the rest of the Shoewawa ladies, you'll agree that wearing crocs can't possibly be the best use for them. Personally I think burning is always a possibility, but if you've somehow acquired a completely unwanted pair and want a more environmentally friendly way to dispose of them, we might just have found the perfect idea. Our fabulous sister blog, Crafty Crafty (the perfect place to get inspiration if you're an arts and crafts-y type), has picked up on a way to turn them into part of your garden, courtesy of Eronoel on Craftster! Click here for instructions on how to create the perfect shoes for gardening - you can have a Blue Peter moment happy in the knowledge that you're making something so ugly into something so cute - how adorable are the extra little details like the hose and picket fence?!
