one more reason to loathe crocs

i own a pair of fake crocs. nordstrom rack had them for $8. BC had been raving about them since i bought her her own pair of fake crocs last year. this year, we took the plunge and bought BC a pair of real crocs — croclings, i think they are called, with their cool-looking neoprene upper. i balked at first — i mean, close to $30 for a pair of mostly plastic shoes? but i know she wears and wears and wears them (though after a month, the upper is already separating from the rest of the shoe.) and darn it, the things are comfortable.

but in today’s post, we learn that Dubya wears crocs, too. apparently, the owner of the crocs company hosted the GOP’s VA fundraiser in may. it’s safe to say that we won’t be buying real crocs again. i refuse to knowingly put any money into GOP coffers.

i looked down at my feet. they look like giant, neon pink boats. i marvel that teens would even consider wearing these things — they are so fugly, so ungainly, so, so, unnatural.

i think i’ll save them for gardening and the pool.

  1. They are fugly, aren’t they? It’s like that Uggo boot phase a winter or two ago.

    My mom (who is in her 60s) bought a pair of navy-blue crocs for herself and without realizing they were crocs, for an instant I thought they were prescription ortho shoes. I wouldn’t necessarily want that for me… They look cute on Rosie and BC!

  2. I have no shame – Dubya or not, I’m still wearing mine. Love, love, love those comfy, butt-fugly shoes.
