I'm currently listening to two co-workers have a, rather lengthy, discussion about Croc's high heels and how awesome they are.
Re: A part of me just died.
I didn't even know those existed! I want my innocence back
I disagree with the statement below:

I didn't know these existed either!
I just looked them up and they remind me of a Camper shoe, just less hippie like. No offense to anyone who wears Campers, but they're NMS.
Crocs though, if anyone gets down with those, then we can't be friends anymore.
Oh, enlighten me then. Seriously. I don't get this. I'm putting my snarkiness aside right now and I'm genuinely curious.
ETA: I'm not anti-plastic shoe! I have 2 pairs of rain boots and a pair of Melissa booties. I totally wear them all of the time. I just don't get the point of Croc heels.
Ha. I don't honestly own any pairs of them, I just enjoy posting things to make it awkward for the rest of y'all.
Those are the single ugliest pair of shoes I've ever seen, even more scary because I'm sure people wear them to dress up. Which is not okay. I do have a girlfriend who owns a pair of Crocs, though, but she only wears them for yard work because they hose off real well when she's out trampling around in the mud. She does say they're the comfiest shoes ever but I still don't care.
Those Crocs high heels, though - they're both comfy AND stylish...
*phew* You should have seen my jaw drop when I read your post.
I was picturing your jaw drop when I read that post, lol
also, I think Crocs are perfectly fine for gardening, I mean, I don't wear my nicest heels to do yard work. It's when people turn yard cloths into restaurant cloths that I get annoyed.
BTW I don't own Crocs, just saying I think that's the one exception

Honestly, who needs Louboutins and Jimmy Choos in their closet when they can have Crocs heels? The perfect shoe for every high society occasion.
Though I will say I just went out to the Crocs website and was surprised to see they have some semi-normal looking heels. They're still not my style per say, but that's because I generally wear only boring, low-ish heels in neutral colors, but they apparently have a whole new line called "YOU by Crocs" (WTF?) that makes shoes that I would say remind me of something from the Jessica Simpson / Carlos Santana lines... but for like, 45-year-old women.
I agree. But, if I were to buy a pair for that purpose, H would think that means I'm cut out to do yard work. We don't have a yard right now (yay city living in SF!), but when we do, I don't need to be sending H mixed messages on either front: (1) that doing yard work is something I want / am capable of doing; or (2) that shoes made of plastic are okay. I've worked for years to train him on appropriate gift-giving and I would hate to undo that all by purchasing a pair of Crocs and having him think, "Huh, wifey apparently likes cheap, ugly plastic shoes."
I'm all about comfort. But, I'd go w/ nice flats any day b/f buying fugly heels!
hahahaha
my point was that it's ok for OTHER people to wear them gardening. if I'm going to garden, I'll just wear flip flops or whatever, I wouldn't buy a pair to designate for that purpose.

jumped ship to the new and improved nest. back to TB for baby boards.
that is disgusting..
A gardener works even better.
I have a pair of black Crocs wedge heels that I got for the honeymoon so I could trash 'em in Hawaii and not give a damn about ruining a decent pair of shoes. They're actually not atrocious; if you're not looking at them that closely, they look like any other pair of very plain black wedges.
Oddly, they survived the experience just fine, but that's why I bought 'em, lol.
Does that count?
