I'm sure that I'm not alone in my thoughts that the main reason that people wear crocs is because they are extremely sloppy and lazy, and just want to be comfortable and obviously don't give a shit about how they look or how others perceive them, not because they think they look nice/are stylish.
BUT THEN the other day I was walking to the res office to pick up a package (from MAC! Hi hi Hello Kitty!) and I saw a woman wearing decorated crocs. This got me thinking; if you care enough to go to the trouble of embellishing your shoes, you must care about how they look, which means that this woman (I can't bring myself to call someone in crocs a lady) must have actually liked these shoes. Up until this point I assumed that everyone knew crocs were ugly, but wore them regardless. Now I am not so sure. My world is crashing down around me.
SEE? Why would you do this to your shoes if you didn't like them? Also, how can someone do this to their shoes and still have respect for themselves?I also came across this little gem: You by Crocs. Apparently the brand is branching out into "fashionable" (read: weird, boring, and ugly) footwear, which is supposedly comfortable. Even if the shoes were nice, I couldn't buy them on principle. I refuse to be a part of a brand that is further encouraging the slobinization of the world through excessively hideous footwear. When will people learn that shoes can be comfortable AND beautiful?
Also, a note to whoever writes the product descriptions on the crocs website: 3.5" in no way equates to a "towering" heel. 3.5" is pretty moderate. In that vein, a 3" platform wedge is NOT "super high". That's nothing.
