crocs

When crocs came out I hated them. I thought they looked like some kind
of jelly bean orthopedic shoe. They're so big and chunky, and much like
everyone's beloved "Uggs" remind me of Herman Munster's frankenstien boot feet. Now let me tell you what I really think...

I was in the bathroom washing my hands and noticed that there were two
girls in the stalls. They both were wearing the same color of light
pinkcrocs. On top of that, they both had on the same gray, oversized, too long, frayed at the bottom sweatpants. I laughed a little to myself and walked out.

I just can't understand why a garment that is so unflattering to a human
foot, which happens to be the only body part which most women would
agree is the easiest part to fit, can become so disgustingly popular. I
admit that I've tried on a pair ofcrocs and, yes, my feet were in podiatric paradise (same goes for the Uggs), but are we beginning
to sacrifice style for comfort? Wasn't the exact opposite popular only
two years ago? I thought suffering was in. I thought the only way to
get respect from your peers was to push through the pain of blisters,
past the unsightliness of callouses, and on to great looking JimmyChoos! Oi vey, just when I'm beginning to think I've got it down.

I'm sticking to my "so 2003" Converse Chucks, thank you. The holes in
those are all natural, baby, made with love.

And I still hate crocs.
