Crocs Just Will Not Die

• Ummm... how about some of you having nothing better to do than complain about the fact that it's funny to laugh at people wearing ugly shoes. If the last two comments were a case for wearing Croc's, all I can say is Croc's are still ugly, and if you don't even understand why, it's hopeless to convince you otherwise. If you wear them at all, the least you should do be able to admit they are horrendous. Otherwise, WHAT A CROC! Earth to the PC police: if all I had to hear about were the problems of this world I would probably end up wearing ridiculously hideous shoes, then not be able to poke fun at myself. Most people understand it is one of life's dirty pleasures to laugh at terrible fashion. Sort of like watching "The Hills" or listening to Britney Spears. Come on! Lets keep it real folks. Lets keep it real. And to Bill and Purlanco, if I ever see you wearing Croc's outside of a kitchen or garden, I will laugh, photograph you, then laugh again later on....OMG I guess you're right. That makes me a superficial and vile human being. Thanks for being the moral compass for us with regards to making fun of Croc's. The world is definitely a better place now thanks to you. That's what you wanted to hear anyway right?

• Who...CARES...?

• I'm with Bill C. Shame on you, Will Harper, for wasting your talents on this footwear foolery. Stop behaving like a prancing kingfisher and tackle the big issues, like ending PG&E's illegal power monopoly or global warming. That's the kind of compelling journalism we demand! Think of how much work you could have done on something meaningful during the 3 minutes it took to write this item! By the way, the woman sitting in front of crocodile dundee has some pretty ugly shoes, too.

• When you knock Crocs because of the "look" or the "fashion," you broadcast just how superficial and shallow you are. It is rather sophmoric to haughtily judge others, but oh so fun. That you take perverse joy in wasting your talent on writing articles like these, or that your editors waste their time and talents on approving such drivel, is a substantial statement about SF Weakly (sic). Smart and dumb people alike where Crocs for their own good reasons, and there are very good reasons. But ones focus on "fashion" is so misplaced today. Isn't that part of what has gotten us into this mess? Please use your talents for good purposes, something more substantial than "fashion police."

• I'm now kicking myself for following this link. Do we have anything better to do than worry about others' footwear? Simply asinine.

• Um... do you happen to know where one might obtain a pair of those socks?

• Fugly yes, but also Fugcomfortable ! Love my Crocs !

• I think the problem here, is that a balding middle aged man in a collar-shirt, tan sweater and jeans is wearing pink Crocs and mutli-colored socks. There is a "serial killer with his guard down" quality to that.

• I don't think the elderly are typically a great source for fashion trends. Ever stop to think that maybe that man can't bend sufficiently at the waist? Perhaps his joints are bone on bone? Perhaps his body aches from arthritis and the Crocs were a gift from his daughter or granddaughter? I've been known to go low, but photographing an old man and making fun of his footwear on the Internet has got me beat!

• When did it become OK to take pictures of people in public and then mock them? That's what makes me sad, not the Crocs.

• Don't forget! People who wear Crocs make other people look good! So you should thank them!!!!!!!!

• Chris is right. It's a sad world we live in.

• Are you kidding? There are still people wearing fanny packs.

• You can't expect anyone to stop wearing Crocs because they obviously had the poor sense to *start* wearing Crocs. It's a lost cause, my man.

• I'm wearing my very worn and slightly puppy chewed leather upper crocs as I write. Barefoot is just not an option most of the time, but these are close as it gets. I'm not gellin' - but I am (c)rocin'!
