| Not for kids or fashion. |
Crocs are the ugliest shoes I've ever seen, hands down. They were made for practical use such as by nurses, people working in their gardens, and people with chronic foot pain. However, the use of them as a fashion accessory has gotten out of hand. Everywhere I go I see people wearing them. At the mall, at church, even frequently at the Red Lobster or Olive Garden. The worst is when I see whole families wearing the same color, or when I see adult men wearing them with shorts and socks. YOU LOOK AWFUL! While they don't look so bad on children, they are BAD for kids to wear. First of all, children wearing these shoes are learning to walk by shuffling their feet rather than lifting them and taking steps. As someone who works with a lot of high school to college aged youth, I can tell you this has become an alarming new trend. Watch when you're out shopping and you'll notice it too. Secondly, kids should not wear these shoes to school as they are dangerous for running, playing, and even walking up steps too quickly. I've seen friends who stopped letting their kids wear these after they kept coming home from school with bruised elbows, scraped knees, and even one bloody nose from falling out of their Crocs. If you want to wear some comfortable shoes and still look decent, I would recommend looking at shoes made by skateboarding companies. Vans (although not the slip-ons), DC Shoes, Etnies, and Fallen all make very comfortable shoes in a variety of styles so that you don't just have to wear skate shoes. They also make cushioned insoles for skateboarders that can be put in any shoes and with a little arch support you might find you don't need these god awful Crocs anymore. |

| So Ugly |
I don't own these and I never will. I don't care how comfortable you say that these are, these are the ugliest and most ridiculous looking shoes on the planet. If someone gave me a pair of these I would throw them away. I'm sure wearing a velvet diaper would be comfortable, but I don't because I would look like a tool. Have some self respect people. Don't wear Crocs! |

| Shipping was insane, but did arrive in a timely manner. |
I bought these for my fiance. He loves them. Of course they are comfortable and well put together. The shipping was expensive which is why I knocked off a star, but they did arrive in time and in great condition. |
