Are Crocs hideously ugly?
Are Crocs hideously ugly? I think so. Yet I am seeing them more and more frequently around town and even at the office. And, I daresay, I am tempted to get a pair. Just yesterday, at R.E.I., I resisted the temptation.
I grew up in L.A. and went to school in the Bay Area. When I moved to Chicago, I was shocked at how frumpy and out of shape the people were. When I returned to the Bay Area, I thought people dressed so much better than Chicagoans and were in much better shape. Now, when I visit L.A. or New York, I am reminded what a bunch of crunchy granola slobs we Bay Area residents are.
I’m fearful a purchase of Crocs would irrevocably slide me further down the path towards whatever is the antithesis of sartorial splendor. I already own 3 pairs of Birkenstock’s, so it may be too late already.
What do you think of Crocs? Take the “What do you think of Crocs?” Survey. I’ll report the results.
