    Why not just design some crocs that look like hooves? Because that's what your feet look like while wearing them, anyway.

    At least Crocs are relatively inexpensive and comfortable. If any ugly as fuck shoe is to disappear let it be Ugs.

    Mario Batali wears Crocs, so they get a pass.

    I have feet that break out in a sweat just seeing a rubber shoe. I remember trying to wear Jellies in junior high...it was a slick, nasty mess.

    Crocs are not for me.

    I've always thought they needed to start a baby product line. I've heard that their gardening kneeler is a perfect kneeler to use when giving your kid a bath. Expand it--make a big old crock changing mat, bath toy caddy, changing table caddy, etc. The bright colors would be huge with people who are sick of pastel pink and blue and the lack of odors absorbed would be a big seller.

    @EdnasEdibles: Actually, a baby bather (one of those mats you stick the baby one when washing so they are supported and don't slip around) in the Croc material would be awesome I would think.

    They should put all of their advertising efforts into rural areas. People that live in urban areas don't wear shit like this.

    ETA: Unless they are gardening or checking the mail ONLY

    Um, Jezeditors?

    Crocs actually does make a variety of shoe shapes, including some maryjane flats that I have considered buying. The flip flops are hella comfortable too. The original Crocs are not my thing, but they do have some more traditional looking ones that aren't half bad, especially for summer wear.

    @Flackette Goes Retro: You beat me to it!

    I love their non-clog shoes. I'm thinking of buying a few pairs. They're great if you have to spend a long time standing up every day (so if you're a nurse, chef, or customer service wage slave like I was!) and since I'm thinking of going into pharmacy medicine I'm going to be needing a few pairs of really comfortable, ugly work shoes.

    @Flackette Goes Retro: I absolutely love my croc flipflops. I live in a place with lots of hills and very bad roads. My guy had crocs that he wore everyday and they outlasted several pairs of my shoes that I rotated through. Went and brought a pair and soooo comfortable.

    I hope crocs keep and going because I would like to keep buying their sandals and flipflops.

    @Flackette Goes Retro: Yes, I was reading it going "They already DO all this stuff but are in the toilet anyway." (They sell hole-less crocs too, Nurses and other people buy them for work (they aren't allowed open shoes).

    They also sell wellie boots (galoshes).

    The only ones I own are the slimline purple maryjanes pictured above here.

    Dear Economists:


    Buying Lipstick in recessions is a widely known behavior due to the fact that lipstick is considered an "inferior good". Please spend your time and energy solving the world financial crisis, not repeating facts I learned in Econ 101 as if they are new theories. Thanks.


    sincerely,

    I think Hello Kitty could make better cowboy boots then these. I keep thinking those boots were made for eating, of cake and fondant.

    So, when I go out to the dude ranch in March, I should buy a pair of these? Having never been out West or on a dude ranch, I kind of assume these boots are expected.


    Will the horses laugh at me?

    "British scientists are working on a "sex chip" to stimulate pleasure centers of the brain with electric shocks."


    Apparently, they learned nothing from the fact that monkeys died when they set this up for them because they would forego food.


    British scientists, REALLY???
