When the uglier than ugly, clunky looking shoes called Crocs first came out, I just couldn’t stand the sight of them! Add to that all the reports I read of people getting hurt while wearing Crocs (especially on escalators), and I just couldn’t bring myself to buy a pair. But, it seems there is somewhat of a Crocs phenomenon going on - they are finding their place into casual wardrobes across the nation (and beyond).
Fast forward to this summer… I got a pair of Crocs flip flops for Mother’s Day and I don’t think a day has gone by since where I haven’t had my Crocs on my feet! They offer more support and comfort than most flip flops and I have found that they are the best for wearing to the pool. I’m not sure you will see me sporting a pair of the “original” Crocs, but try taking away my flip flops and I may have to hurt you 
My girls are doing summer swim team and their Crocs are the quickest, easiest things to slip on and off as we go back and forth to practice. Thanks to the fact that they are made of PCCR, a closed-cell material that virtually eliminates odor, I am fine with the girls wearing them without socks, too.
If you order your Crocs at Zappos.com
you can take advantage of their free shipping, too.
What do you think? Are Crocs casually comfy or should they be banned from every wardrobe for anyone over 25?

LOL, they are really ugly… But at the same time they are very comfy and it seems there is no way to stop them spreading around the globe!

I find them to be too wide but my mom, who has Parkinson’s and has a really hard time finding shoes wide enough, LOVES them! She has them in every color. You can find them on sale right now at http://www.6pm.com Warning, once you go on this website (if you are a shoe-horse like I am) you WILL spend some $$!
You convinced me to give these a try. I can’t stand flip-flops- the between my toes thing hurts, but I found these and I LOVE them. (They were cheaper at Dillards.) Very comfy.

Oh no. I’ve been considering them and I keep shoving the thought way down deep, hoping it won’t come back. Is that where I’m heading?

Honestly, I’ve never been a big fan of Crocs. They look bulky and from far they are shaped like a boat.
